Carpet is in just have the doors left
 

Well, I haven't frozen to death buried by the snow. I have tried to stay busy working on the car but I was only working weekends too cold to heat the shop for limited time after work. but I have gotten the carpet done. This was more difficult than the insulation.

Now I tried and tried to find a way to cover the dash but there was nothing that would even come close to forming to the shape of it. So I hit it with some black texture spray and said oh well. Next I made a trip to my favorite idea finder ( the local pick-a-part yard) and for six dollars I came home with a few do-dads to finish up the look. Now I guess all I have left to do are the door panels and the interior will be done.

Looks like I have to climb under the car and pack some foam between the chassis and the body to keep the heat from blowing in around the door jams.
later.

P.S. we are getting another foot of snow today (great).:(

Stay Tuff against that snow! The doors look good, Nice job.

It came it FINALLY CAME!!!!!!
 

Well, Everyone I haven't had much to say on the build thread this summer as I have been going through what turned out to be the most difficult aspect of the whole build. But as of 5:30 pm (when I get home from work) I hold the title for my car. Never did I think that it would be this much red tape and bureaucracy to go through to get a car titled. Now understand that this is not a typical "KIT Build" this was a Scratch Built car. It all started last Oct. when I applied for title, here is a summery of what I went through.

Step 1. Apply for title. Two forms application for title, affidavit of reconstruction. This is to get the ball rolling give them your receipts all id numbers from all major components and pictures from all four sides. Pay the tax on fair market value of your vehicle (charged tax on your own labor). At this point they are supposed to give you temp plates so that you can use your vehicle to get it back and forth for inspections. Three of the offices I visited would not issue plates to me at this point, turned and walked away try another. Make appointment for inspection NOW!!

Step 2. After A FEW WEEKS you get the paperwork back, hopefully your appointment is till valid (No title yet). You are required to have your vehicle inspected this is to make sure the parts you put on the affidavit are the parts in your car and not stolen. At inspection they stamp your paperwork and send you back to the DMV, to apply for a VIN tag.Make another appointment at inspection station NOW!!

Step 3. FEW more WEEKS wait VIN tag shows up at inspection station you will be notified by mail it has been sent there. Again hope your appointment is valid. Go to inspection office inspector will look over your paperwork again and the stick the VIN tag to your car oh yea it is a freaking sticker and yes they have to be the ones who place the tag to your car. Oh yea still no title yet, inspector stamps your paperwork again and sends you back to the DMV.

Step 4. back to the DMV to finally file the final paperwork (and pay inspection fee) to get your title, wait SIX-EIGHT weeks for title to show up. hopefully your temp plates have not expired. You have just made the journey of a life time.

******* You rolled snake eyes go back one step***********

You receive letter from the state we cannot process your application for title you must provide a Surety Bond for 1.5 times the value of your car for three years. WTF!!!!:mad: more time and money later I send the paperwork for the bond into the state and now finally I get a title for my car.

I sure glad I got temp plates because, I have been out driving my car weather permitting the whole summer. I would have gone postal on someone if I was still waiting to get plates. But for now the journey is over and I can say that I did build a car from nothing and it is tagged and titled.

If you don't hear from me, I'm out enjoying "My Car"
:D Patrick

Wow, glad it finally worked out.

Why do they want the surety bond ? Who is that supposed to protect ? What is the purpose of the bond ? Who gets paid ? I don't understand that one at all.

Neither did I but have you ever tried to fight GOV.

Wow I know this is an OLD thread but just wanted to say this is great work and awesome inspiration for my build. After I get the Cuda PT project done I have a Ferrari Daytona project waiting. We took a body that originally was intended to go on to an early 80's Vette. We stretched it and widened it back out to the correct dimensions and started building a tube chassis for it. Plans are to use C5 suspension and transaxle. All at attached to a Jag V12 with thin turbos ect.

Love the work you have done and hope this beast is still out terrorizing the streets.
