Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

It became evident that all the wood would have to be replaced, and made 25% larger. So I started making the Front windshield header and A pillar structures.

Since I figured that nothing on the original body would work, we moved the left overs into the belly of the beast for reference. Getting the Imaginary pieces to be in the right proportions and proper locations is tough.
This is where I wish that I was a little bit taller with longer arms. Shes big and awkward, I need a ladder to reach everything. And since I do my best work once everyone has gone home for the day, its been a bit harder.

Note to self: Do not stand or hold onto any bars that are only tack welded or clamped together. Took the first spill the other night, thankfully no one was here to see my fat ass clinging on for dear life!! No Injuries so far.......










Here you can see that the fenders are going to need ....... Replacing!!

I need someone tall like Rodger from Ironworks to help out, or you could stand on my shoulders.....Lol

Just a bunch of over sized Midget haters out there... My seat will have lots of adjustment too Greg.

Rodgers shoulders would work - personally HE has no talent... so you'd just use him for a lift.... I was thinking maybe you could get some of those strap on stilts like the sheet rockers use. I've got a couple pair...
