In other words. You don’t need an LS Motor. A/C is another thing altogether. It is September when we do these and depending on where we start you might not need it.

Good point, Thanks.
Well I don’t want to hi jack your great build thread with my stupid car. When I make up my mind I’ll start my own.

It's more fun to "Drive" them rather than just "Owning" them...…..Been on both sides…….. Driving is a lot more "Gooder"...….. LOL

So far only Roy and CHRA got it right.

A buddy that now owns the blue ‘33 Brizio car - told me a week ago - “that car is the fastest car I’ve ever driven - it’s scary fast!” .... He owns MANY fast cars - Porsche - Ford GT40 - many fast cars.... I just laugh at the thought....

I wish all of you could experience the thrills and fun we have on the Hall of Fame Tour.... the entire point of owning and building “hot rods”/“Pro Touring”..... DRIVE ‘EM.... Drive ‘em cross country.... drive ‘em to the store.... drive ‘em to church on Sunday.... Pick out an event or show a couple states away and drive to and from. You’ll find out real soon if you built a car or a pile of sheet metal holding paint.....

Oh wait that's how it works !?!?!?! I thought it was normal to spend a lot of money only to have to do it over and over until it's right. :D

Well. This is particularly true if you’ve done business with Ron Sutton and got sauced in the process.

Sauced ? must be called that because it happened a lot like coming out of a hose ...You know like getting hosed????

Back to Customs and Hot Rods of Andice (CHRA) for freshening before Columbus and other GoodGuys Shows this summer....

Tough to drive a “show car” - which is why I don’t attend many shows.... I’d prefer to just drive and let the bugs squish where they squish —— but it should look the part if I’m going to put it out there.... and all the trucks that I’m up against for Early Truck of the Year are trailer queens....

A couple of the Pantera guys that have really really
nice cars (one was driven 30,000 miles one year) just
have them repainted on the front side from the fronts
of the doors and around to the other side.. they do this
like every other year

Glad to see you are really enjoying this truck as it
really came out nice

Rest In Peace... never met him, but loved to follow along. Had a passion for this hobby and these cars.
