Looks sweet Greg. I like the three tips. I couldn't even watch the whole video listening to that guy.

I missed the video link and couldn't figure out why you guys were talking like that. Then I realized there must be a conection, and went back to see what the video was. Just speechless... :rolleyes: So far that crap hasn't made it here, and I only have to be annoyed by freakin subwoofers all day.

You know --- this is the first time I've EVER had anything built for me. I'm a hands on DIY guy... but I have to tell ya... when I get the update pics like this -- and I KNOW how much effort it takes to do all this work... and all I have to do this time around is sit back and enjoy the result... it sure is kinda nice!

Welding up the front "whatchamacallit" thingy.

Looks great Greg. I am looking forward to seeing it done in person. What are your goals for a finish date?

Goals? I haven't had any of those since high school.


Goals for a finished product....
Uh....... when it's done??

Seems I keep adding to the work... so like 100% of most customers - I'm my own worst enemy! But I'm CERTAIN it will be done for my MAY trip to Santa Barbara for The Wheels and Waves show.

Sounds like your officially a Gold Chainer.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not a f'n chance in hell dog......

I have a SUPER nice shop 50' from my back door - brimming with tools I could use some skill at operating...

Oh -- that -- and I have a full on build on my '37 Ford... and that's only on temporary hold because I'm doing a sub frame and complete rewire on my brother in laws blown Camaro. Just got the Highway 22 wire harness and "extension" (so I can mount it in the trunk)... and the clip should be here this next week. His current set up is a stock sub is welded in with subframe connectors (car is back halved pro street POS)... so I will have to cut it all out - fab up the new "graft" - oh and wait - "while we're there"- he wants a slicked firewall... etc. All that before I hit Santa Barbara in May. :cheers:

So I'm paying to have mine done so I can have time to work on someone elses. How's that workin' for ME? :lol:

It sounds like some body has to much time on their hands.

Car looks great.

:rofl: Yep --- when you've been retired for 18 years... the one thing you have is TIME. Mine isn't worth much, but it's mine to use as I see fit. :woot:

:rofl: If I had his money, I'd have someone doing my dirty work too!

Car is looking killer!

I have a lot less money since I started this project! And I bought the car on a whim at an auction! I could have started one from scratch and spent less money.

So far - the original car might as well of been two frame rails and a couple UCA's. Sheeeeesh!

I didnt realize that tearing an existing car apart would cost more, thanks for the heads up Greg:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You having less money is still more than most.
Just razzing ya Greg, everything you have had done looks killer.

Its OK I guess for a street rod :lol: (32 roadsters are one of my all time favorites).

Every car I've ever owned (I've owned so many I've lost count! 40 maybe?) has been absolutely PERFECT when I bought them... and within a few weeks... TOTAL RE-DO! Don't ask me why. It's some kind of disease. I drive 'em a bit - and then starts the thinking... "well if I did this and changed that and....."

It's a standing joke for my wife.

:cheers: :woot:

Tracy! It's just an adult go-kart!

Gotta be fun! How could it be anything else!

I here ya Greg, were never satified. Almost like a women changing her wardrobe every second

great car Greg. If I could figure out how to fit in one I'd love to do one, absolutely love the way they look.

I think I have seen one of these things before. I'll see if I can remember. Oh yeah there called a cow catcher on the front of a Train!

:rofl:

Is that Tim working his magic?

......I still can't believe you are going to paint it black!













............................:lol:

Hey nothing wrong with that at all Greg. We're all car guys here. We all have that "disease".:yes: :D
The hot rod is looking great.

You don't even want to know what I used to reference "designers" as when I was a furniture wholesaler... :rofl:

Actually the cow catcher is a "homage" to the car that became my car after the owner had "my car" torn apart - sold off in pieces - and had SAR build him a new version. Long story... but here's a pic of the car that was built for him. So I stole the cow catcher fair and square off this version (sans the louvers since my car has none anywhere else).

Okay --- So I know this isn't pro touring and most of you aren't interested -- but here goes with some more updates. The good craftsman over at SAR are busy guys!

Here's the front "valance"? for lack of a better description. Note they bobbed the frame horns a bit... MUCH better in my opinion (the only one that really counts since I have to claim ownership!:willy: :D )

Not sure who this guy is.... :unibrow: (J/K) But he knows a thing or two about metal... and he's going to start to mock up the headers.



http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0472.jpg



A mock up of the console....


http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0467.jpg


The completely refurbished heater has been hung by the chimney with care...


http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0468.jpg


So wheels and tires are on order -- the headers are being mocked up -- all the fuel injection stuff is here... and we're busy redesigning the exhaust tips -- for something other than the "Ferrari 458" version. Stay tuned for that. The shifter falls right to my hand -- PERFECT! Love it... and the pedals were repositioned to be more correct. Also picked out the square weave carpet -- from the "air craft" version -- which is a much smaller tighter weave. And picked out the banjo style steering wheel which will be wrapped with leather to match the upholstery. So all in all -- moving right along.

I want the car DONE for Wheels and Waves in Santa Barbara, California mid May.... so I need to stop "adding" to the project. :faint:

The hood has been completely re-done... with all the hardware and support stuff hidden... and as usual for SAR -- the gaps are flawless! Not a good pic but I only just had my phone...

http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0477.jpg

Nice progress!! It's looking great!
Will the upholstery be completely redone?

Looks like Tim is working right up to the final minute before the crew heads south! Have a good trip you guys! :cheers:

Looking good Greg! :thumbsup:

Are you getting your cup holders? Not that I'm interested. ;)

Cup holders such a small item but such a giant comfort. looking good Greg!

Almost 18000 page views.... for whatever the reason, this thread has gained Renner like popularity.


:lol:

Yup, he's only 182,000 views short of Todd's Payback. :wow:

Looks great Greg. I look forward to more updates.
Have fun. (I know you are!):thumbsup:

No Tones... That is Tim Bruning starting the mock up of my headers. I'm just writing checks on this build..... Not touching a single tool on it!

This was an impulse buy....no plans for it.... And have projects in "the shed" lined up like planes at O'hare.. So just took it to SAR and let them rock and roll. That way I can enjoy this Impulse sometime in my lifetime.:cheers: :woot:

looking good. :thumbsup:

Looking good Greg! :thumbsup:

Awesome looking Deuce.

Here's a picture of my personal roadster.

Like what your doing to it Greg, turning out real nice.

I should have been more clear Greg, sorry. I meant have fun picking out your wheels and all the other goodies.:unibrow: :)
Keep us posted.

So.... While I've been down playing at RTTC 2.... Frisbee and crew at SAR have been busy with billable hours (LOL)!


Here's a mock up (subject to tweaking) of the headlights and "emblem" crossbar.

I asked them to tweak the crossbar to mimic the shape of the "cow catcher" (Thanks Bob Braga! LOL) between the frame horns...


http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...C00004edit.jpg

Is that a snow plow they are fabbing up.

Is that your family crest ???? lol It looks good.

Looking good, Thats the reason 32's are still the kings in the street rod world, There just cool!!

That's one spendy shifter cart! ;)
