Good eye Eric. Car should be home this Sunday....had a little motor repair on the truck to take care of in Texas.

Thx Gae! Little details, design, parts arrival will take some time. You know how it is...:yes:

Ron, you mean you were in the Great State of Texas and didn't give me a call. :( :( What part were you in?

(Jon Lovitz voice) 'Yeah, dat's it' :D

Sitting at Freightliner in Amarillo for a couple more days...

Oh, okay...that's quite a few hours away from me. More like 6 or more.

Soooo, uuhhhh, eeeehhhhhh, hhmmmmm........???!!!
:D
Anything we should know about or SEE???

Haha....thx Eric! :thumbsup:

After a long day w the kids @ Six Flags yesterday, I showed up at the house and there was driver Pat in the Ironworks truck parked out front. Not only a real pro checking my car and keeping me updated on his progress, Pat is a great guy as well. We unloaded the car and parts, shared some stories, I thanked him about 10x for taking such good care of the car and off he went. I blew off the dust, gave her a good wipe down, put away the parts and covered her up for the night.

At about 10:p I had a cocktail and slept better than I have in a good long time...:D Today I got the hubs mocked up. I intended to get the brakes on the car but there's a disconnect between the radial caliper bracket threads and the bolts...14x40mm? Not sure how a kit could have the wrong bolts(?!), but I'll get it solved tomorrow along with tires mounted on the new wheels.

That's it for now, so very happy to finally have the car home! :cheers:

Ron - The car looks awesome, dig the mirrors, enjoy the final assembly :thumbsup:

Hey Brent! Thx for the props. I'm digging your monster car too...time for an intro over here? :thumbsup: :cool:

Thx John! How's the house hunting going?

Not yet Ron....need to organize history a little (pics, components, etc). To be honest, I feel it wont hold a candle to some of the builds around here. Intake will be here this week...maybe after it gets here and we see some numbers I'll make an effort. :thumbsup:

Your car is going to look so sweet Ron. Can't wait to see some more pics as it all goes back together.

These guys'll love it Brent! Clean, clean, clean and powerful...:thumbsup:

Thx Mike. Wish I had your metal working skills...!
