Thanx Don thats exactly where I was going next! I figured drilling the spot welds..

That's gonna take some meats to fill it up! What size tire are you planning on running? Mario, the car's looking awesome...:thumbsup:

Mario Glad you got it close, if it was me, I'm the guy they made the sign for
$10 if they do it
$20 if you watch
and $40 if you help!
Glad your getting some time on it. It must feel good making progress!

Ron right now I'm going to be running 345-30-19 Pilots..

It really does Wayne......

Mario- Just a phone call away.. Just call me & we will support you with whatever we can...

Just remember that all your hard work will be worth it, you can beat the car some for making you take so long...


The car and You, will love the beating.. The Car wants to just run....

You can't imagine the language coming from Mario's shop, most of it was mine.:thumbsup:

BINGO! Ooooooh, wrong game. MAAAAAAARIIIIiiiiiiiiiiooooooo:cheers: Glad to hear things are moving along. If you need, I can teach you some more screaming garage talk:unibrow:

Great to see the updates and to see it outside.

Awesome work

Hood alignment 101!!! Last Sunday Mike and I installed my Fesler hood hinges to do the final alignment and square up the front end. After getting everything square, and the hood flush with the fenders I noticed that the back of the hood along the cowl was to high. So after some time tring to adjust the hood to get it flush I finally came to the conclusion that the hood was bowed ! I figured I would have to take the inner stucture out and push the rear of the hood down and reweld it. Naaaaaa!! Hey lets take the hood off and set a wood block in each corner and push down on each corner of the cowl scoop and see what happens .:_paranoid It friggin worked!!!:willy: We set the hood back on the car it was perfect!! Love my aftermarket parts!!!!!! Getting closer to BBT!!!!!

Oh yeah, I have a GM Cowl Hood, and It also had too much bow in it. Tim and I did the same thing, I stepped on it with blocks under it. It fits perfect now.

been there, done that, got the t-shirt to prove it to.:thumbsup:

You no what Bob I have a OE cowl hood that I put on just to see if I had something else out of wack .The OE hood fit perfect! Not one issue . I just couldn't justify cutting up a OE hood ..

AAAAH, Young Grasper... you have now graduated to the next level! :lol:

More little things are getting finalized on the car. Mike and I welded in the trunk hinge supports yesterday and it went pretty smooth. It still amazes me how something so easy can still take time to finish. So after we finished I wanted to figure out how my MCC tail panel was going to sit on the car . I had to put the tires in the wells to get the full affect. Needless to say I was happy with the look of the center exhaust. I was a little worried the holes were to small but once it was on it looked just fine. Not sure yet on how its going to be mounted, I'll get Troy's input when I bring it down to him in a couple of weeks..

It looks good on there Mario.

AWESOME DUDE! <Spicoli style>


Mario -- First time I paid attention to your rear end. :rofl: :willy:

Been wondering why mine don't line up on the right rear side. Thanks for the info

Now that's funny

ps Don't forget that you are going to need a Race Safe Fuel Cell for the trunk so you can have the rear exit exhuast.

:D :D :D

Oh man that's so AWESOME!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looking good. Nice to see the updates.

Just remember if you do this, it doesn't take much to get the hood to go down. If you put to much preasure you will buckle the hood! Now ask me how I know this...:D

Well Saturday we made the trip out to Troys (BBT Fabrication) to have him do the ''gapping'' and the new rockers on the car (yes my '' NEW '' rockers are junk) we need to replace them.. So......... This was the plan,very simple just a hand full of things for Troy to take care of. Not! I'll start the rest of this by saying never bring you nephew and friends with you when you do something like this they are inablers and very good at spending your money!!! Now for the rest of the story. Things changed in a hurry once we arrived at Troys. I did have to tell him after a conversation with Jason (WAR) that my front fenders will have to be modified to accomadate my 285/30/19's then it went out of control after that. Troy had ENCORE the 69 Firebird project he's doing next to my car . So you know what happens next. Lets just say that I'll have a couple of Encores styling ques going on my car. And now heres the rest of the list ,12 point roll cage,rear valance, tucked bumpers, DSEsubframe connecters,custom headliner,custom spoiler ,custom core support and one real cool idea Troy wants me to hold off on! :faint: The simple little trip for some simple fab work came to this!!!! At first I had a hard time with this but after talking with Troy I think I'm in good hands!. Once he gets going I told him to post the progress pictures.I'm all in now.:D

Welcome to "our world"..... now you know how easy it is to get sucked into this !!


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW:chee rs: :woot:

The snowball is now up to speed.

Whew! Glad it's not just me....:lol:

All I can say is next time I ride Shot Gun in the "Why Not" Dually I am going to bring more food and we ain't stopping at Tastee Freeze again.

Man I just wanted a Chocolate Banana Milk Shake how hard can that be. Did I mention that I had to point to the menu to order a Chicago Style Hot Dog.

The trip was good and the Guys at BBT Fab are some of the most hospitable people I've meet. I put them right up there with the Ring Brothers.

As for the little nudge-nudge Mario that's what friends are for and the "Top Secret Rocker" Mods are going to look awesome. Now I just have to get Troy to make a set for my "Bolt-Together" Camaro so I can say it has some custom fab work done to it.

Not to Worry Jason the "Force of Friends" is with him and some of us are a pretty bad influence.

Thats OK Mario, keep them with you and you can blame them for it all! Even though I don't think it took too much persuading for you too jump in head first to the deep end. Sounds like some pretty sweet upgrades. :hail: :hail:

Yea thanx you weren't even there and you cost me money!:lol: :cheers:

I was quietly taking pictures and I only made one suggestion that cost you money. But don't worry I have plenty that are going to cost you a fortune. I will send you some pictures tomorrow that will get you thinking

Don't let Mario fool anyone, he was like a kid in a candy store! He didn't need much pushing.

Mike

All right! Let the cutting begin!! This will be one bad mother!! :thumbsup:

Nice to see that Mario isn't immune to getting sucked in. :lol:

Finally ordered my wheels yesterday.:willy:

Are you feeling okay. I know it was tough for you to pull tthe trigger but we are all proud of you.

Nice work!
Once the car is completed and you are rolling around on those awesome wheels you will forget how much money went into the car.
:cheers:
