Cool news Lead, I'd like to see how you do the airbar with the wheel tubs. BTW the wheels do look great, and it looks like you are getting a nice pile of parts together.

Take care of the back. I'm tellin you now, my back is in bad shape after this last build. If I just had surgery, I would never attempt any of the under dash stuff.

Good luck, looks like you got a nice project going!

Thanks guy's!

Its nice to be back at it. I really was beginning to think about getting Pro at Bingo or somtin'. Thanks for the support.

Now, serious stuff needs to happen! I want that thing on the ground asap. i would like it to be rolling and braking before snow comes in so i can do bodywork and re-assembly before summer (Next). All new stuff...should go well...'Should' being the key word here

.

I just got a few top material (Stayfast Canvas) sample... A Fire red is one of them, its killer!!! At this moment i'm either thinking Triple red w/ the Gun met wheels black hockey stripe and CF Hood or Black and black top with a red interior and a red hockey stripe to blend in with my calipers and same CF hood. (Hehe...That makes my colours official don't it?) I'm really leaning on triple red but it seems kinda soft, altought POPPING, compared to the black idea which would make it more 'Menacing' kinda....Toughts?

Rybar, i will let you in on the Airbar install. I should be in the garage on the week end trying that out. I don't see any problem as the notch in the frame was done in the rearmost part of it, not in the front where the bar mounts.
The only issue i will have (i think) is w/ the lower bar to tire/rim clearance.

But, i read (here) that Frank (Prodigy) and Air ride are working at this problem right now by modifying the bar 'a la DSE' or something....I had asked and told Darren (Ridetech) about this and the possibility of modifying my AirBar (version 1) lower bars and it can be done simply too, but if they get new parts out i will try and get them. It would definetely help out!
Not easy running big shoes ya know!!!

Mark, i like your way of thinking, "Car is already 36 years old" Nicely said!

I'll post some pics of the progress as it goes,

'Later,

Lead.

Thanks Paul!

Hey, I like the new Avatar!!!! (and the whole way your car came out!)

Sure wish i was closer to attend all the US shows and could have seen yours up close...I looked at some tickets to attend the Carcraft Nats yesterday and best deal i found was around 475$, Flight only... and thats for me alone.
I guess that price will buy a Hydroboost unit or something instead
