It's Been 3 Long Years

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by suede55bowtie, Oct 21, 2009.

  1. Pushed the car outside for the first time since Ive been disassembling/building it. Thought Id throw some pics up. As some of you know the car started out as a bigass Briggs 4 door sedan.

    Any pics of it as a sedan?
    Lots to go, but good start for sure
     
  6. 3 years eh? You must be one of the Lucky Guys with a Full time Job. Hope it holds out long enough to get it done. Hay it's a good start. Do you have a motor yet?

  7. Ive pretty much everything to build it. Im getting ready to buy a trans adapter for it though (Y-block --> T-5.) I plan to have it driveable by March.
     
  8. Found one on the ol' laptop haha

  9. As low as it is, how are the ergonomics working out?

    Looks like you're gonna be hanging out in the breeze when driving.

    Sometimes a deeper cockpit can be a good place to hunker down when it's really cold out.

    Well damn ... some things do get better.

    My 1950s version Mr. Potato Head couldn't weld for shit!:mad:
     
  11. Its not shabby really. Its only a 4" channel, and Im only 5'7" so I fit pretty well in it. Im kinda looking foward to hangin out in the breeze too :)

    The teardown starts tomorrow on it to do all the welding and gusseting on the frame. I can hardly wait to put a floor in it :D
