55 Chevy 'post' build

Lenie -- I'm having a party here -- for the local tri five club - on June 5th - rain or shine -- PM or email me and I'll give you the address if you want to come over!

Greg, that is a sweet project. Good friend you are.

[GregWeld]

Thanks -- but ANYONE would do the same - if they had the time and space. I have both. I'm lucky. He's a good friend and this was his dream car... I'm just throwing it together for him so he can at least be driven around in it.

He had already assembled all of the parts... I was intimately aware of what he wanted and had helped him do some of the work prior. So it's not that big a deal to finish it up. My own projects can wait. I just have to button up the dash now -- install the carpet - and the interior (which is all done already)... and paint the inner wheel wells and I'm "done". I've driven it - and it drives GREAT and runs great and the 6 speed is just sweet... makes me want one.

Hey Greg,

In all seriousness, great job and props to you for being a true friend. We all like to think we would do something like that. I hope I am in the position to help when someone needs it. This is truly one of the great things about this hobby!

Now go take some public speaking classes before you make another video! You didn't think I could be serious for 2 paragraphs did you?

We definitely need to hang out!

Seriously -- I never intended to post that ANY video up - I was just messing with the little Go Pro camera... I wanted to see how it worked and whether a guy could use it in this manor... and whether the audio would work like this. Then I thought I could use it to send to "Murph" --- but when I tried to attach it to email - the file is way too large. So next up -- post it on YouTube and let him watch it...

Since I don't care about embarrassing myself...

I figured I'd post the link here since several people have asked about the project.

These little cameras are pretty dang amazing - for less than $300! And you really can just slip them in your shirt pocket if you wanted to video something other than a car running the cones etc.

I just saw those gopro cameras, at costco yesterday. Looks like you get real nice quality video from it.
