Loved the "hero" that steered for a while and bailed out.

That guy that tucked and rolled right at the end was fearless I tell ya.

Greg, coming from a guy with an 80 + page thread on buying a truck & trailer I don't know if that is an insult, or motivation to take this thing further off track!

We should have the roller wheels/tires tomorrow and then have the car assembled and ready to ship back to Cali by the end of the week.

I was just about to say that I wasn't going to open this thread unless I saw a post from Phil, then I open this up because I see a post from the Roadster Shop, and still no pictures?

Rob, speaking of getting your (roller) wheels, where is that picture of you looking for wheels at SEMA. The villages are restless, and you better do something.

I kept telling you to just bolt the black HREs on it. Until I realized how much they cost

If one exists it's on somebody else's camera.

This seems to easy, it must be a trap

Ah an actual build question. This has thrown me off. I don't know what to say.

It seems like a lot of work is done with the chassis done and the motor running (should I repeat that for DG) The motor running.

The reality is I've been doing a lot of work, research and planning. As has been said do something every day on your car even if it is calling to buy a part and eventually it will get done.

First a short list of big and $$ parts to buy.

The front Wilwood 6 piston brakes.
C&R radiator with integrated oil cooler and PS cooler.
T56 Magnum close ratio. I already have the RST clutch, bellhousing and AL flywheel.
Wheels... Finally making this decision will either kill me or be the biggest relief.
Seats.. Another hard choice
Custom headers.

Some coin tied up in getting those parts.

I'll probably drag it to AZ and have the headers built first.

Next I'll probably mount the seats and steering column. Once I am happy with the seating position I'll take it to a guy I know to get a cage built. I have a few other small fab projects to do at the same time. This will include mounting of my Dry Sump tank.

Drag it back home and start layout of the lines and final measurements to order the radiator

Then I'll put all the brakes on it and run the lines brake, oil and fuel.

Just writing this much down is making it seem like a long road. The list goes on. You know how much work there is in putting a car together.

[intocarss]

As far as you've come, that list ain't so bad

Won't Greg come to you to build the headers?

[Garage Dog 65]

At least you don't have to weld the 2 halves of your car back together ....

You're to the fun part now ! Hang in there - you'll get it done !



(or your 'friends' here will ride you every day of your life...)
