Hot Rods You think I can make it to LSR??? ***Updates posted!

Been working on this thing since April 1st of 04, it's been a long journey, Huge learning curve as I've never tackled a build before! Everyone has been so positive on it thru out the build. Now I've got some buddies that want me to drive it to LSR at the first of April. What do you guys think? Think I could pull it off?

I don't know how finished it'll be, but I know it'd be driveable fairly easily.

We'll see!

 

Not an impossible task but i wouldn't rush or cut corners for the sake of making this year's show..Do it right once and go from there..

 

You have been on it for 6 years and are about 50% done. Mathmaticly, you are looking at another 6 years...But, I have a feeling you have a plan to step up the pace.

I think you definately can do it. Good lookin little car, by the way.

Good luck, -Abone.

 

You kahn do eet!

 

You know...I looked at the little car again...you are probably more than 50%. You could slide in the finished motor, wire it and pretty much be ready to go if that is what you wanted to do.

But, if you are looking at finishing the mock up, blowing the thing all back apart for body and paint and finish assembly, that's an ass of work.

You could still do it though..

Good luck, -Abone.

 

stop posting and start working! you can do it..

 

I'm in the same position, pushing like hell to get it done in time. Here's hoping we both make it!

 

Hope to get this done before RoundUp

 

^^ now that's just showing off! But I'm looking forward to seeing it in person!

 

Grits... go back out in the shop! that really is showing off!!!

Crud I hope to at least get some primer on it and cruisin? I think I can do it, sometimes it just helps to have a goal!!!

 

Its looking better, you can do it!!!!! I like where the roof is going to be!

 

I'd like to have the pieces you are cutting out on the chop. If you are interested.

 

I'll keep you in mind 61bone!!

Thanks Tom... take a vacation and come down and help!!

 

Hot Diggity!! Lookin' great!

 

I think you should try to get it running and driving, go to the show, then when you come back home tear it apart for paint etc, and have it debut again for 2012's roundup. Two different cars, two different years. You can't miss the 10 year anniversary.. This Roundup is gonna rule...

 

Why Of Course.
4 months......

 

Ledsled and Abone speak with experience here. Have you got a running small block? Coolant and fuel systems? chassis sorted out? Even a brake flex line issue will sneak up and bite sometimes. Seats w/c-clamp mounts work as temps, but at some point you'll know if it's safe to run a distance. We've all had this Incentive at least once. Check to ensure that side engine mount doesn't want to rotate or flex into a cracking situation.

 

You can do it Chad! I am in the same boat as you, up shits creek with a turd for a paddle! Just kidding! we'll get 'em done.

 

3 months?

 

I expect to see you both driving in, I cant wait to see these in person.

 

Bachatcha' Gary! Oh, and no fair posting that pic, haha!

 

I was hoping you were meaning the pickup in the backgroud.... then I thought I had a good chance!!

 

You can do it! You just have to actually work on it...

 

Appreciate the vote of confidence scooter!!!

 

Geeteer dun

 

No problem!

 

Ok tonight I got the Garnish moldings mounted with 3/4" tubing, I'll be connecting it around to the back window area a little later. And the column is mounted solid, just need to figure out if I'm going to run the square wheel or get a Moon wheel??

 

Chad you have most of the parts engine trany done, mounts in all that kind of good stuff done. Tell your wife , girl friend you will return back to the house the second week of april ! and get after it build it safe side windows back glass tops are options you can sit on a pillow .One of the best feelings was rolling into the Round Up . Man I would bet you can do it . I started on my coupe 3 weeks ago But Ihave had it for 9 years but this is the year it goes to AUSTIN !!P.S. get back to work you show up I will buy the beer .

 

Sounds good Terry!!! I'll meet you there!!

 

Chad old buddy, if you would quit chasing women and quit buying and selling all the time this car would have been done a long time ago.-----On the other hand, why the heck would you want to do THAT?
