^^^ Sorry but :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ^^^

Don't worry, you're not LOL alone. :D

Loved the "hero" that steered for a while and bailed out. :rofl:

:yes: That guy that tucked and rolled right at the end was fearless I tell ya.

Abandon ship......women and children first.......hey! that's me!

Might as well go HD on it. :D



IIRC all the bowling pins... uh humans, were alright.

Greg, coming from a guy with an 80 + page thread on buying a truck & trailer I don't know if that is an insult, or motivation to take this thing further off track!:rofl:

We should have the roller wheels/tires tomorrow and then have the car assembled and ready to ship back to Cali by the end of the week.

I was just about to say that I wasn't going to open this thread unless I saw a post from Phil, then I open this up because I see a post from the Roadster Shop, and still no pictures?

Rob, speaking of getting your (roller) wheels, where is that picture of you looking for wheels at SEMA. The villages are restless, and you better do something.

I kept telling you to just bolt the black HREs on it. Until I realized how much they cost:rofl:


If one exists it's on somebody else's camera.:_paranoid

:rofl: you're on one every week so probably a bunch.

This seems to easy, it must be a trap:P

Ah an actual build question. This has thrown me off. I don't know what to say.:offtopic:

It seems like a lot of work is done with the chassis done and the motor running (should I repeat that for DG) The motor running.:unibrow:

The reality is I've been doing a lot of work, research and planning. As has been said do something every day on your car even if it is calling to buy a part and eventually it will get done.

First a short list of big and $$ parts to buy.

The front Wilwood 6 piston brakes.
C&R radiator with integrated oil cooler and PS cooler.
T56 Magnum close ratio. I already have the RST clutch, bellhousing and AL flywheel.
Wheels... Finally making this decision will either kill me or be the biggest relief.
Seats.. Another hard choice
Custom headers.

Some coin tied up in getting those parts.

I'll probably drag it to AZ and have the headers built first.

Next I'll probably mount the seats and steering column. Once I am happy with the seating position I'll take it to a guy I know to get a cage built.:unibrow: I have a few other small fab projects to do at the same time. This will include mounting of my Dry Sump tank.

Drag it back home and start layout of the lines and final measurements to order the radiator

Then I'll put all the brakes on it and run the lines brake, oil and fuel.

Just writing this much down is making it seem like a long road. The list goes on. You know how much work there is in putting a car together.:willy:

:cheers:

As far as you've come, that list ain't so bad

Won't Greg come to you to build the headers?

At least you don't have to weld the 2 halves of your car back together ....

You're to the fun part now ! Hang in there - you'll get it done !

:thumbsup:

(or your 'friends' here will ride you every day of your life...)

:lol:

Jim

It's a widespread problem...

:lol:



"This 1958 Dodge Power Wagon W300M is equipped with the rare swivel frame option. We’ve never seen one before, but the customized frames were apparently made by a firm called Willock out of Western Canada. This truck looks like a fair deal even on a normal frame, but the added feature makes it a stand-out. Find it here on the Dodge Power Wagon Classifieds in New York for $20k."

"The frame is split right behind the cab and there is a large center bearing that allows a good amount of twist. Swivel aside, we love the black and red on this truck, and appreciate the black wheels and fenders that make it look more menacing than fire truck-ish."

OUCH! :rofl:

All of that is about 3 weeks worth of work... so now what?

^^^lololol^^^^^

Definitely takes some big coin to build at this level. At least you have given us an idea of where your at unlike a couple of other builders around here..........AHEM :rolleyes:

Hey WTF I still have a day job. :willy:

I hate that part.



:D

Hey whaddya know... a Chevy out in front of a Ford.

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...s_am_racin.jpg

Is that what you've been doing instead of working on your build the last week ?looking for that picture:rofl:

Glad to hear that the "big" girl is heading back home. I still have a way to go with mine....... Have to have a day job just to keep the projects moving forward. We aren't the privileged ones.:lol:

Congrats on the progress. :thumbsup: You're right, sometimes the research can take more time than anything. That list doesn't seem too long, but yah, those are some pricey items. I've been churning through my own list so I know what it's like. I just read through your entire build thread again. This thread is like a dedication to Torinos. :lol:

So true. I'm finally nearing the end of the first list I made, a year ago :lol:

:faint: Ah mission accomplished:rofl: It is. Torinos and Tunnelport headed sideoilers. They both played a big part in Fords successful motorsports endeavors of the late sixties.:unibrow:

Come to think of it. This site is like a tribute to 69 Camaros.:P

Hey Rob I think you should build a cammer.



:)

Or how about just a real cam in this FE thingamajiggy.

It's on the bucket list.

Already know what body to put it in with an RS IRS chassis. Now taking donations:D

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps65daaada.jpg

I'll donate 1 canadian dollar ( a loonie) to that sort of project.

Is that a nice way of saying "clone"?



Most on here just wish they had the B A L L S to build something other than a '69 Camaro. But then again -- at some point they may actually want to sell what they built. You have no chance of doing that. :rofl: :woot:

Ouch! :D

LOL, brutal!

I'm going to have to do some serious AZZ kissing the next time I see him in person huh.... :faint: :lol: :lol:

Can you even reach his ass?? :P

That'll make Rob feel better! :rofl: :rofl:

Steppie Stool maybe?

:rofl: if everyone thinks their car is a wise investment I pitty them.
If you are building a car and worry about resale value MORE than what YOU WANT, I pitty you.:(

I won't get back the cost of 30 years of traveling for snowboarding, mountainbiking or surf trips or wakeboarding or motocross or jet skiing. Do I care? F no? :P Will I get back the $$spent at bars for the last 30+ years? Not a chance. Do I care? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I work to live I don't live to work. I could have bought a 911 or some other iconic supercar and lost my ass on that but I chose a Torino.

Don't buy any Starbucks lattes they are over priced:rofl:

:cheers:

Man I like the way you think!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Went sno boarding last Sunday. No wind and it snowed until noon!! Fresh powder all day long :woot:

..... then you'd be Dave G !!
