Openers, I love the direction that you have taken with this car. The parts selection isn't half bad either :thumbsup:

Thank you Matt!

Yip, not only for liftning the car but also draging/pulling it across the floor.

Very Cool.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice - much better then the epoxy in my garage - I swear I hear that stuff crack everytime I lift up one of the cars.

Track Junky 05-09-2012 10:02 PM

Any updates?

I was about to get epoxy for my floor, but was advised not to. The concrete floor needs to breathe, especially when it´s on the ground (no basement or story beneath). So I went with tiles instead.

Been busy with other projects but here is a small update. Installed a rear sway bar so now I can continue with the exhaust.

I´ll also make an alternative system behind the flange before the rear axle/mufflers. Will be coated black eventually.

Now that will wake up the neighbors! :D

I hope to more building cars try to emulate your pic taking style; not forgetting to mention the skills you've honed... and working in an amazing garage like that. :thumbsup:

The wheel and tire combo on there now. :cool:

Well, first of all - many thanks for those kind words! Can't think of anything that I like more than getting dirty in the garage... ;D

Me too. That's why I contacted the guy that's gonna paint the car, before I welded them on. He took a look and said no problem...

He must have small hands and a matching paintgun... That hood looks really good, i think i give it a try too. I still can ask a gynaecologist to paint it for me. :_paranoid
