Thanks Gregweld. I follow you guys bantering back and forth along with all the great stories and awesome car projects. It's very entertaining and keeps me motivated! I'm also a hotrod guy so I can appreciate your perspective. We used to run an Enderle injected SBC 34 Ford coupe in B Gas. It's one of my favorite cars and hope to build a 33 or 34 some day.

Northwetner is right. I'm ready for some sunshine.

My priorities are still with my kids until they are both out of college so I had to start with something relatively cheap and work my way up. Believe me, more than once I've wished I could have gone out and picked up a nice car like Flash68 Dave did and make it my own from there.. Although Dave has just about rebuilt the whole thing now :D

I'd like to put a LS motor in it but my daughters tuition and books dictate otherwise.

God you got that right! :headscratch:

You are kickin butt man. Keep rockin it and stay focused. You seem to really have a nice balanced plan. :cheers:

And no, please don't put an LS in it. :D

:lol: I'm not sure I have a plan.. Other than to get this thing on the road as soon as I can. It's funny you guys mention plans as I've been thinking I have no particular style or goals in mind other than I want a good handling car that I can drive comfortably. The muscle car equivalent of my wife's 335. More like a newer Corvette I guess, although I haven't driven one. As I'm nearing the end of fabrication I'm starting to sweat the styling aspects. I guess I had a plan in terms of function but not in style. :lol:

The LS is appealing to me as I intend to put a lot of miles on this thing :)

Hey -- You know if you've read my posts -- I was teasing. I totally get it.


Dave "flash" who?? Does he have a Camaro? <rubbing my eyes trying to focus>

:)

:flashie:
No kidding.. Even though Dave gets heckled for only 2 hours of seat time in 3 cars that's two 2 more hours than me. :ohsnap: Although.. Yeah, I think he's building a car of tomorrow. :lol:

I think you guys have it right though. Track cars seem to be the way to go. I'm just easing my way into it :) Every time I see Dave or Payton post NASCAR parts it makes me want some. My pan hard bar is now known around the shop as a track bar. :lol:

Slow and steady. Nothing exciting to post as I'm going through my punch list trying to get ready for body work. I ordered Corbeau GTS II seats from Kim at Matt's last week. I also ordered a NRG hub, quick release and Momo Tuner steering wheel so I can figure out my column. (Thanks to info from Vince and Sieg I now know what will fit)!!

I got the dash bolted in but I need to order a windshield and test fit before I can weld it. The steering wheel location won't really change so I can now mock that up. I just want to make sure the bottom windshield seal surface is correct before I weld it.

Great work! Looks amazing and coming along well.

Thank you!

My head was touching the roof with the Corbeau seat brackets, sliders, and GTS II seats. I decided to cut the tabs off the brackets to move them down to the seat pan, back, and toward the tunnel 3/4 of an inch.

It took a little work to be able to mount the brackets tight to the pan in the front and up 3/16 in the rear while allowing room for the bolts.
