Nice thing about this project is that its being built in stages. Bought a nice stocker. Drove it for a while (boring). Upgraded the chassis with Air Ride, Moser, Wilwood, ATS, Forgeline and BFG, drove it for a while (what a difference!). Now it's getting paint and engine/trans. It will be driven for a while before getting an interior.

Are you going to smooth the firewall as well? He should have you make him some of those custom Tri-Y headers for that Big Block. Otherwise have fun with the 2" primary headers hanging under the car. If he wants a testament on how annoying that is feel free to contact me :( some custom Tri-Y's would be $$$ but I think it would be worth it for the customer to have you build him some. When the project is done He'll probably be much happpier. I'd gladly spend $2K for someone to build me a custom set. In the long run it would be so much better not worrying about bottoming your headers out on every bump. Plus it would give you a chance to show off those awesome fabricating skills. Not sure if anyone's ready for that though :bow: you might hurt their feelings when they see a real roll of dimes :thumbsup:

lookin good

lookin good jake:thumbsup:

looks like jake has had his Wagnor power painter out again lol. JK:thumbsup:

lol. careful....

Hey at least he didn't use a roller like some "un-named" magazine did. lol


hey, can I get a shot and a deal for the Under Construction section of PHR? Good way to pimp your shop :)

Is there a rendering of the "finished car"??

Yeah, the rendering is in my head. You can title the section "How To Stay Out of Jail." Jake says he'll be done with the engine/trans swap and paint job in just a coupla weeks. So no "paint jail" at Jake's Rod Shop. Instead of a rendering, you'll have images of the finished Twist/Air Ride project to go along with the scary looking under construction pix.

The car needs to be ready for the XV Motorsports Track Day.

Call me tomorrow.. Don't make me beg to give you some ink.. :willy:

Will do.

got emblem holes filled and bodyworked, primed fenders, got inner fenders,rad support blasted, will be painting front end parts tomorrow/sat then car body monday/tues, also have firewall prepped and ready, we just cleaned firewall up did not smooth anything.
