sick joe touring
 

There is something very wrong with joe-touring, and I like it :-) Would a full build on a 90 LX notchback be considered a pro touring car? They are climbing on 20 years old.................

Tank turned out really nice.

Thanks here is a little more. I'm letting the paint dry.

Thought I would come in a soak up some A/C. My finger tips are sore from sanding all the hard to get at pieces of the firewall.

I found the color of paint I wanted by stopping off at a local street rod builder Sasche Rod Shop. The painter there was nice enough to walk me through the shop to see if I could point out the sheen I was after. I pointed out something and he gave me the PPG sheet of exactly how he mixed it. I really like it.

Who's painting their stuff now? I haven't talked to them since Autorama in Feb....

I forgot his name. I know several guys in the front but not the ones in the shop.

The progress looks great! Keep up the great work!

Thanks... how is the Turbo Olds comming along. I have not seen any updates latley.

Working on it now. In the middle of a zillion things at this point... body is done with filler, and it gets spray polyester this week, then more sanding. We'll have more updates soon.

Looking for opinons or suggestions

The few std transmission throttle linkages I have been able to find are way out of my price range. I had an idea to just trim down the pot metal piece getting rid of the electrical part and refinishing to look like it was never altered. After disecting it I just could not figure out a way to trim it down and still keep its structual integrity and the needed stops that are built in to the piece.

I then had the idea to just reverse engineer the piece and just make it from scratch. I whipped it up out of wood to get an idea of how it will look. What do you guys think? Leave it as is, change it a little or start over? The is the side the upper part of the linkage will be attached to and pivot on.
