Wayne! I fell for them when I saw them on Steve Rupp's blue 69.

Wow what a difference from when you got it. I would be PISSED if I found out that I had to redo my whole entire car I thought was in decent shape.

Yeah, the guys are making pretty good progress. I'm hoping that I'll be driving it later this summer. Actually, I think it would be a pretty cool daily driver. I am having the rear seats set up for car seats, so I will test it out. Funny- I don't worry about door dings in the e550, but I'm kinda a freak about my fun cars. Go figure.

It's coming along nicely Rob! Good for you. That's going to be a nice looking hot rod.

Thanks Greg! We're pretty excited about this car. The girls will have a blast going out in it.

The guys at CAR have my other hotrod. When I dropped it off, I was totally excited about the new rear end (swapping the 3:45s for 3:75s) and the rear free action link kit. After they took it for a testdrive, Kevin made a comment about the clutch and how he frogged the car. I knew the clutch was a bit of an on/off switch, but wasn't sure what to do about it. Kevin did some measurements and the clutch ratio is around 2:1. He's fixing it for me and should be close to 6:1 by next weekend. Now that has me excited!

Well, the guys got the engine/trans bolted into the subframe. We still need to bolt on the headers, bolt in the steering box/column, brake booster and inner fenders to check on clearances. I'm just glad to see more progress. Still hoping for a late summer completion, but I'm thinking early winter.

With the Chassiworks bars

Head on, looks pretty cool

Just so I can see it was starting to look like a car again, he hung the fender.

Coming along nicely Rob! I like those CAC downbars...

It sucks that you're having to rebuild it, but now at least you know that it will be right. Looking good so far!

It has come a long way form the rust bucket.

What are the dimensions/offset on the front wheels?

Thx,
Jon

Looking awesome. I feel for you having to redo the car, but now you know for sure what you have.
