    here are a few "updated" pics. not alot different but its got steering (almost) and the brakes are almost done they just need the lines plumbed. also got the sub floor almost done. i didnt finish the driver side because the clutch pedal isnt set up yet.

  8. Well,your headlights are too small. Couldn't you find any big ones? Just kidding. Looks cool now with some paint on it. I'd definately drive it. Just wondering,do you only have one leg? Looks like the shifter is right where your right leg should be. Am I wrong,or is between your legs?

    The only thing you have to know, understand, remember and abide by is the scrub line rule.
    If you don't , you'll likely pay for your error, and arrogance, by a demolished car, a trashed drivetrain, or possibly the big "D" for you, your passenger/s or some poor traveler/s on the highway.
    Some simple sensible rules apply to all things mechanical.

    Personally, I don't much care for it, but I do appreciate what you've done, created, and accomplished. I think the biggest problem I have is that I try to see myself getting into it - bad knees, back, and at 6'3" and 260, it'd be a pain. But hey, you built it, and you like it, so thrash and enjoy!

    As a side note: I would try to move all of the rear brake lines to the front side of the rear end in an effort to "hide" them as much as possible. I know you are still building, but I think this would dramatically clean up the rear and almost make it look like you have no brake harware present! Just my opinion.

    Overall, I think it looks great and you should enjoy it!

  15. What he said. I can't count the number of times I've been asked when I'm going to finish my car, or something like "Why would you want to have a paint job thats not shiny?" Some people just don't get it and they never will. Just remember, the car/truck was built the way YOU like it.
