Ready for Race Rodz!

[awr68]

After I got the sub-frame media blasted I spent a few weeks of WAY late nights stitch welding the frame halfs together, A/C compressor notch finished, cleaned up factory welds, body worked, and painted. On the bottom of the car I cleaned up all the welds from the mods I did, body worked it a bit and got it into paint...this was after I stripped it all to bare metal by hand, I'll never do that again!

I then installed the frame and welded it to the DSE SFC's. Then finished mounting the last of the parts on the fire wall, hung the sheet metal and loaded it on a trailer just in time to take it to Chris (race rodz) for the Aug. 11drop off dead line. Drove 600 miles yeasterday, but I know it's in good hands!It was a ton of work for me to do in a few weeks, I'm tired and am looking forward to spending the rest of the summer with my family and hitting a few camp grounds. It's all up to you now Chris!!

Just got a few more of those insider pics of Anthonys car. The kind that even he doesn't get. The car looks awesome sitting out in the sun. Chris is doing some very cool stuff!

You're killing me! You would think the guy writing the checks could see the car!! Well I guess it adds to the fun for when it rolls out of the trailer!!!

I think you'll live. If you could (and you can't) see the way the paint lights up on one panel and then the shadow on another you'd be doing cartwheels. The reflection is over the top!

Honestly, I think this car is way to nice for you.

Any updates? I like the color selection and can't wait to see how the whole things turns out. Happy New Year.

I'll just fly in on weekends to have a look. Still quicker than driving down from PDX.

I think the checks I'll be writing just got a little smaller.
