Maybe; or maybe having 3 pedals and only 2 feet is just too much of a conundrum to solve in relation to said burn out?

:lmao:

Y'all are hilarious.

You win OBWK. When I burn up the tires I'll film a black patch. Then I'm gonna fill up your inbox :D

But they're just slow crappy inferior NT05's so not to worry..... :hello:

At least I'm not making up for it with gummies. Plus, wait till I start driving it. I've got four years of 'excuses' training saved up :lol:

Haha... Ron's been building this car so long he bought tires to mount on his third set of wheels back when NT05s were the sh**

Also, per Jimi Day's USCA rules I'm pretty sure excuses are like tires. You aren't allowed to show up with any that are older than three years.

.........and when those fail you'll play the Arthritis card.

:peepwall:

Ron and his tire stash give new meaning to dating a car... :computer:

OBWK started a sh#tstorm! Don't you guys work? :D

Ron,

Define work?

With best regards...


lol

I guess you're right Skip. Working me over is like a job :lol:

#FTW!

:hello:

He drives a 600+ cu in blown ski boat ...he ain't scared of sh*t!!! :headscratch: Ya know them blown boat people ain't rt in the head

Ever talk to Ron?? The proof's in the pudding as they say....


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't sweat it RS. Pretty much standard operating procedure around here. :lol:

:drama:

So, I was thinking. I think I should do a 4 wheel drive burn-out on snow with my Willys and post it. :lmao:

It's running a lot better after I replaced the blown intake gasket.

'Bad Ron' as some know him by...holds the trump card though.

DP actually runs and drives.



:bump:

S'alright Skip. S-O-P around here :topic: :D

Update time, sort of - I found a little time to head down to the interior shop today. Part of the delay has been sourcing obscure little interior pieces I never knew existed or even needed. Some of which is only available via OEM in a couple reseller warehouses across the country. Pieces like roof/headliner tack stips, windlace mouldings, wire loom covers, door panel metal strips...stuff like that. Tracking it down and getting it shipped took more than two weeks. Also learned that I take to mechanicals, suspension and brakes much better than this crap. I'm learning more about interior than I ever wanted to. Go figure. :/endrant:

Elegance has progressed about as far as they could go without the parts.

Thin balsa is cut out for the doors, qtrs, kicks and speaker shelf:

It'll be done Tuesday. Right Mike? :lol: :cheers:

Oh hell yeah! I run suede headliners in all my race cars....




LOL

No doubt Greg. Rob calls it a "catalog 69 build" :lol:

Press 1 for...... LS7.

Press 2 for...... LS3.

:lmao:

Press 3...... for pimp my ride :hello:

4:popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I have to tell ya BR..... I'm just happy that your car is up and running BEFORE those other two guys!!


Then you can get up here on the fence with me and the couple other egg tossers (or is it grenades?) and start busting other peoples chops.


Glad to see it all coming together.

Ron,

Suede fits your car well, because apparently owning a '69 can be very comforting...perhaps after a period of great discomfort.

:tiptoe:


lol

Nice Ron, progress is good!

oooh fancy! looks great Ron!

Thumbs up

Thanks for all the laughs and compliments fellas! :cheers:

The material is amazing. Looks like swede and is made of leather, but it's soft to the touch and very lightweight. I saw it on another car and decided it was a nice touch. There is bendable balsa under it and and thin layer of foam.

The rest of the car is high-end Mercedes carpet and leather to match texture of the seats. Maybe it'll get my car on TV, lol ...(JK - I could care less about that)

The next car will have aluminum and carbon fiber interior panels, no carpet :D

What part # in the Camaro catalogue was that option?

I found it in the Lincoln catalogue, cause Fords don't go there :lol:

:cheers:

BR, can you point me in the direction of the low-end Mercedes stuff? I can't seem to find it.... :computer:

So you really are building a "PRO TOURING" car :waveflag: :headscratch:

Looking good Ron

Phew! I'm glad I read the whole post. At first I thought you were going for the early 80's mobile home paneling look when I saw this picture and I was thinking these drapes would go well with the kicks. Maybe as a nice divider between you and your poor passenger.

Seriously though, sounds like you are getting down to brass tacks. I'm excited for my promised burnout vid. :rules:

Yeah I know Dave. I thought that was pretty stupid to put in writing after typing out on my phone. I am a low-end guy anyway, so thanks for pointing it out. :lol:

Wierd, huh JDog? :slingshot:

Thanks Frankie. Back at ya :cheers:

I knew you had old wood paneling in the house OBWK! Carpet matches the drapes too! :lol: Thx for the comment Bro and hope you're doing well :cheers:

Looks like you got a few more days to go until Tuesday gets here.

Sheeatt, I ain't even got drapes....or curtains.....or neighbors within a half a mile that could look in my windows and see my pantsless ass watching T.V. LOL

Here's to living in the boonies! :relax:


Parts are coming in for my car every day. (AC showed up today) Now that winter is FINALLY winding down around here I should be able to actually work on it too.
