Maybe I will swing by and see you and Vince tmrw (today)... it's not far from me and I've been meaning to drop by there anyway.

What time you heading down there?

Just left there and I am at my mother-n-laws now.

Vince is going to finish cutting the latter bar cross member out for me because i couldn't get a full cut on it safely without putting it on a lift and I want the latter bar set up to come out of the car clean so I can hopefully resale it later. Also need to cut a portion of the front leaf spring buckets where the previous owner had welded it at one location and I cut a portion of that also while it was up on jack stands but once again couldn't complete a clean cut safely without puttng it on a lift.

Got the opportunity to take some bottom pics. Disregard any loose wiring as all wiring will be clean and tight before car is completed. There are a few little surface rust spots that will be cleaned up before sale also.

Bolted up the exhaust, hung the battery wire nice and tight to the frame rails, put the driver side corbeau tracks together, bolted the tracks to the driver seat and it was all over from there.

Few more things to do but was having to good a time driving it around so I said screw it and drove it around for awhile, LOL.

She'll finally be done by this weekend!! :woot:

Darn it, forgot about the trunk pan!! Oh well, add another week to the completion date.

Yeah, I'll take those pics for you but I think I will be back down there in two weeks anyways.

Been a busy couple days but she's almost done. Center console and gauge pod wired and complete, bolted the new Corbeau A4 seats in and replaced the carberator from the 850 to a 750. The mouse that was living in the trunk snacked on some tail light wiring so I did a little work there.

Still need to install shocks, swap rear tires after borrowing wheels for Buttonwillow, get a trunk pan put in, and then give her a bath.

Thanks Jerry, those photos look alot better than the ones I posted.

I left the original big block springs up front and cut 3" off of them. Going to see what they feel like after I throw the shocks in and If I dont like it I'll pick up another set of springs.
In the rear I picked up some Detroit 2" drop springs but them darn drop springs never drop the car what they advertise so I added a 1" block. I'll have to measure the rear but right now I'd say the drop leafs probably lowered the car 1" so at this point I'd have to say with the 1" block 2" in the rear.

As far as video goes, I never have any luck getting them uploaded but that is with the GoPro. I'll try using my camera tomorrow and see how that works out.

G-man , that daddy is looking purrtty good! :thumbsup:

Let's get a burnout vid or something. :D

Track Junky 10-09-2011 10:24 AM

Thanks Dave!

Sorry, but the burnouts will only come from the Orange car. This white one is up for sale and the tires have been listed as bran new, lol :D

We'll see how much luck I have posting up some video of some exhaust tone. I was tuning the carb yesterday and reving it up while it was in the garage. It was only about 5 minutes of ideling and reving and my neighbor came outside and started yelling at me from his porch. I couldn't hear him but I could see the disgruntled look on his face and his lips moving. I turned to him and gave him the finger, lol. Wish I had some video of that!! lol

As you can tell me and my neighbor have been buddies a long time, lol.
