Any video of you wiring?? Never mind!

I'll just watch for the next pics!

You folks having a snow-mobile show? Hope the one you are aiming for is indoors! Your weather sounds very much like ours just now..

soooooo???

I need more pics.

Hot Turkey · 02-15-2010, 10:35 PM

Sorry no updates. The last few days are blurred together. I've slept about 4 hours in the last 4 days and can't do it any more. I'm two days behind schedule and will drive it over to upholstery in the morning. I'm 99.9% done with what I have to do, now I can only pray he can get it done in time for the show. I hate to think I killed myself and worked this hard to fail now. Oh well, we will see.
Let me sleep a few days and I will post the pictures I have taken. Night.....

If it stops being fun, take a break. There's lots of shows. Looks awesome and I can't wait to see it finished.

Yea, don't freak out by not making a show............there are lots of shows, and plenty of time to enjoy your ride, but not if your dead. Working for days without sleep is really bad for ya, I used to do it allot.

Car looks really good. Be proud of yourself.

**lorodz** · 02-16-2010, 12:31 AM

erlomd · 02-16-2010, 02:23 AM

She's a keeper! Great job man.

Hot Turkey · 02-16-2010, 04:28 PM

Got it finished up this morning and drove it around the block to test it out. All I can say is WOW. I drove it the 15 miles to the upholstery shop and man that was fun! What a handful! Just the pipes with no inserts so It was loud as hell! Oh ya, I don't have the glass for the windshield so it was a blast in more ways than one. It's going to be weird with no hot rod in the shop......

**rodncustomdreams** · 02-16-2010, 04:43 PM

Yeeeaaahhhhhhoooooo! That 'lil drive had to be fun!!

Will it be hard for you to leave it in someone else's hands for a while? I know it was real hard for me and I'm not the hand's on guy that you are...

Looks great in the sunlight don't it?!

Old-Soul · 02-16-2010, 05:01 PM

Right on man! Way to go! My first ride around in my 'A' was in the snow, without a roof insert OR side glass and it was a BLAST so I know you had a good time!!

kisam · 02-16-2010, 05:35 PM

Wow! I am so happy for you! Bet you smile while sleeping tonight! See - dreams really do come true!

**deucetruck** · 02-16-2010, 05:48 PM

HT, your build has been amazing. It is a "must read" every day for me.
When you have some time, please tell me whose insert you are using. Also, are the instruments old SW winged pieces ?
Thanks in advance and best of luck for making your show !!
