'My Car'.....
 

I don't want to get into it, but lets just say I was very glad to see 2011 end and to have a fresh start with 2012! I actually started the year off right and spent New Years Day in the garge working on my car for the first time in months...litterly! I don't have a huge update, but here's what I'm working on at the moment.

But first I need to thank my close friends, you know who you are, that keep enough wind in my sail to keep me going! Thanks guys!! Last week was the 10 yr mark of this build...it's time to find the end of it! I'm very blessed to have a great network of local members/friends that are more than ready to help get it on the road...again, thanks guys! :cheers:

After cleaning the garage this is what I found.

After a lot of thought and fitting it was obvious that the new quarters and the 3-piece spoiler were never going to play nice...so I went back to a one piece.

Next up was the tear down of the front sheet metal and suspension so I can weld on the UCA gussets. Mine was one of the last Speedtech frames that shipped before they started adding the gussets.

'Bout time dude!

Welding looks fine to me! Seems like just a couple weeks ago we were unloading this bad boy!:cheers:

"Did you ever know that you're my hero?..." :yes:

looking good Tony,been waiting for you to get back with it.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys! Yes, it does feel very good to be back out there working on the car! I'm trying to treat it like a second job and force myself to make the time and go out there hopefully about every night and weekend...even for just a couple few hours! There's so much to do! :willy:

Ty, you crack me up!! :lol:

Look's great.Just keep leaning forward you be surprised at the progress you can make.Just stay postive.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:Never,Never give up.

Thanks Scott! You have proven it to work time after time! :thumbsup:

I went out for a couple hours tonight and got a few steps closer to finishing the frame. :)

Good to see the project up and running....

But i must have missed something. Last i knew the car was painted, together, ect. Where is the thread or post so i can catch up real quick?

:cheers:

Josh, the car was never really 'together'...think body shop roller just assembled enough to ship home.

I felt that the gussets needed to be installed on the frame so I tore it down to do so. I had to nut and bolt the suspension anyways so it wasn't really that big of a deal to demo it all to do the needed welding and paint work on the frame.

Good to see Tony. I was wondering when you were going to start up on that bad boy. Keep up the great work and keep the updates coming buddy!

Thanks, Tony! :cheers:

:thumbsup: It came out nice Tony. Keep picking away at it.

Nice work buddy! Now stuff that supercharged bullet in there and burn some rubber! ;)

Hey Tony I have come over here on Lateral-G several times looking for progress updates on your car. I'm glad to see you're working on it and hope nothing serious happened to keep you from it until now!?! Regardless, progress is ALWAYS good! Keep the pics coming and let me know if you ever need moral support! :thumbsup:
