We have been working on finishing up the bottom of the car from all the floor and wheel tub work we did. We are test fitting a completed chassis prototype. We now have a ride height about 2" lower in the rear then an air bagged X frame car. You have to cut the floor just a bit more, But what is a bit more work when your getting 2"s closer to old mother earth on 21" wheels none the less. 15-20% of the floor is better then all of the floor to achieve this ride height.

So that dash is now one piece, we are getting ready to begin layout work to build the billet parts.
The sqaure holes and recess are just mock up for the billet insert for the dash. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...20top/0032.jpg

We have been collecting these "cheap" separate speakers to go with these "no name" "Macintosh" Amplifiers that Greg found at a yard sale when his big benz got a flat after he got off on the wrong exit looking for chinese food in South Seattle. He had to buy them or risk getting beat up by a bunch of Gangsters.

I have to figure out how to hide 4 of those big ass Hertz crossovers in the car. Good thing it's a Bubbletop and not a 32.

We are getting the car ready to digitally scan the front end once we get it on the proper chassis for final.

We have been entertaining quite a few taillight ideas and we really think this is the direction for a bezel. I have a few more slices and dices to make but think this is a good direction.

We had to cut out the windshield wiper motor mount to rotate the engine back behind the firewall and to get it out of the way of the electric gas pedal. The Electric pedal is sure a cool modification for a car thats gonna see some miles as you can move the pedals back and keep someone away from the steering wheel and allow multiple drivers.

Oh man now that's the funniest thing I've read from you in awhile. :rofl:

I bargained those bad boys down from $7.50 to $5.00 and in the process almost got in a fight with the 300 lb wife who is her husbands first cousin... but thought they were worth it.

Greg you know how to work a room. :thumbsup:

Even some famous non-laughers found it impossible to resist your comedic wit and wisdom while discussing supply side economics.

NOPE - We have 3 - 69 Camaro's in the shop currently and they all have widened front fenders on them now.

The OLC2 is waiting for a floater and and 6 speed trans. It is now parked next to the 69 camaro in question. Just cuz I have a camaro in the shop does not mean I have to post it online, Does it?
