I gotta ask, JP what is your work (work = project time) schedule like? how often do you work on this amazing project? every night till 2am, weekends only, once a month or I eat, breath live this project and it is my job?
Again, you should be very proud of what you've accomplished so far! I can't wait to see the finished product! I'm new to IImuchfab.com but I see my self adding it to my daily routine.
BigAl, this isn't my profession, just a hobby. I work on the car nearly every spare moment: most weekends til the wee hours, and 2 or 3 nights during the weekday til late.
I don't get nearly as much sleep as I used to.
Lately I've been in overdrive, working 6 to 8 hours a day on the car after daytime work. Tonight I still have to make the upper driveshaft hanger and then put the front sheet metal back on.
I really have no idea. I'm pretty curious myself. The original car weighed less than 3000 lbs. On the plus side, I've added a roll cage, tube chassis, bigger tranny, bigger/heavier rear end.
Lighter wheels, lighter engine, lots of aluminum in non-stressed locations, etc. on the minus side.
Who knows? I will be disappointed if the car weighs more than 3000, but only time will tell.
Wow John!...That is really incredible!....Holy Smokes!......I have seen so many nice detail shots, that when you see a picture of the entire fabrication...well, what can I say that others haven't already...Truly a labor of love, and an outstanding work of fabrication art....
That is awesome. The progress pics you have posted for a while now remind me of RadRides by Troys slogan (if you saw his rides episode) to have the car look good no matter what stage you are at.
Every step of this process has been picture perfect, thats awesome.

Quick update: Brian Schein came over and we rolled the car out of the garage and into his trailer. I'm leaving for Georgia today. The Durango I bought over a year ago for this exact trip is finally gonna get tested. After seeing Brian's trailer, I think maybe a Ford Super-Duty might have been a better choice. The trailer is HUGE!
Next stop: Road Killer Kustoms for paint on the exterior and interior.
