Its gonna be cool. So are you going to keep it drivable as you build it?

Thanks. Yeah the plan has always been to keep it drivable. Stressing more on functionality verses beauty for the time being. Later I can always strip it down and paint. I just finished a 3 year stretch of body shop prison on my sons car last summer. Kinda want a big break away from sandpaper and paint masks. Lol.

That must be an Arkansas thing...since I am from there.

May have to revisit my color choice and paint mine gold.

Lol Payton. May be the Hillbilly in me. What part of the state did you reside in? Im in Northwest......Harrison. Just south of Branson.

In truth, I promised my dear wife I would buy a project that was driveable. She's seen my other so called projects and how long it took to get them in one piece. The car has been in the shop with out a rear end for a week now. Its been killing me knowing its not driveable. I put the 12bolt back in last night so I can swap out the front suspension (Ridetech) just to see how bad the front wheel is.

I prefer a nice looking beater over a car that gives me anxiety pains if I leave it in the Walmart parking lot. Lol.

and raised in Arkansas. I am from North Little Rock. Moved out of the state at 25...24 years ago. My mom, her husband and my brother still live there.

Payton,

Glad you got to get way when you did. Little Rock has changed a lot in 24 years IMO. Including the Sherwood area. I couldn't imagine living in a big city. I love rural life. Rather enjoy the sheltered life. If I feel the need to experience a little of the lime life, Dallas alley and its clubs are just a 6 hr trip for me. Although, I am a little jealous of all of the LA guys on here. But that is for car reasons.

You all really are a great bunch of guys. I've been reading posts in here for a long time now. It's been hard for me to jump in and talk (so to speak) in the threads because at the time I didnt have my own car. I hate being a bench warmer. Im looking forward to some track time although time and finances will most likely limit me to Heartland or Road America. Im not sure Auto X will be for me. But a big road course sounds wonderful. Time will tell.

That car, plus those New Wheel = car done! Looks good, the height also looks Nice.

But for some reason I thought it would have an six cylinder.
