Okay...anybody keeping up with www.projectr517.com....check this out.

We are now in phase II. We moved the car from the original tear down location and early cut/weld to my shop. One of our build crew snapped these as we were moving it and rolling it down the road.

Now....the clock is ticking. Our annual show is 11/8. Our goal is to have this baby sitting on the wheels. How???? I don't know...but Lord willing between taking a couple of days off next week and working hard this Saturday it will be down on the ground.

Should have a set of Touring Classiics 5th Gen Vette brakes adapters soon. Speaking of Vette Brakes...they donated the rear fiberglass springs, sway bars...etc. National Parts Depot has been AWESOME!

Seriously? Wow, that's going to be a thrash. How many are working on it?

Only a handful...but note that we are not talking about functional....just able to roll. The subframe is done and only needs to be bolted in. The rear body will take the most time welding it up, seam sealing, painting, then getting the axle in.

That's all we want is the rolling shell by 11/8 - THRASH...you bet!

Now...If Foose would just show up with 50 of his friends, we'd be driving it by 11/8 ! LOL

After a long night - Project R
made it to our annual show. It was a blast sharing it with others and seeing the reaction on people's faces that had seen it before when it was rotted through and through.

As a result of the show we picked up a new sponsor (Amsoil)...and even some cool new parts.

Again...Anybody out there that is interested in supporting this project...just give me a shout. These are tough economic times for the automotive enthusiasts...which is what makes this landmark even more special considering the uphill battle we have when doing such a project from donations and sponsorship.
