I decided to fire it up and tune the computer in.then after driving it for a little while being is everyone that knows me knows that I do custom paint assumed that i painted the car and it was done.The car is far from being done so I thought it would be cool to have people write there build sugestions on the car .there are thousands of build ideas on the car some good most not so good.but kind of o cool way for people to get involved with a top noch build without any money and no time for them. I just had such a blast driving the car over the summer I was not ready to take the body off. now my new goal is to keep the car driveable as long as possible. I plan on doing all the body mods to the car and drive the car as long as possible before taking the car out of service.and that my plan and I am sticking to it.unless my a.d.d. kicks in again.lol.

Now I am trekkin with ya. Good luck with the rest of the build.

I am glad your son has a creative mind thats a gift that alot of people don't have I just might use that idea on one of my other builds.and it was great to meet some of the pro touring ,g machine crowd out there.keep looking for more big changes to come.

ok decided that if I want to build 9 more super rides I am going to have to be a little more organized and have more space to work with so in the last 8 months i have been crazy busy trying to finish and organize my home shop.the project just like all the rest of my projects are spiraling out of control.the plan was to finish my carport so i could have some space to store things now its going to be my paint booth and my sheet mtl fab. area.heres a couple of picts.just to let you know that between kids wife and work that I am getting somthing done to.

her is a little rig I made to hold the sheetrock up it worked awsome.6 more sheets to put on tomarrow over the stucco wall cant wait for that.
just got done sheetrocking the wall behind the new garage doors one door was 6foot the other was 8'8" now they are both 8'6"

the v style clamps were givin to me by a friend he said that you can get them at a chemical lab supplier.they already have the chain on them.I startedto use a piece of old copper lead with the insulation stripped off with the ground attached to it directly otherwise the chain holding the pipe will burn off and will leave a realy cool tatoo on your arm if your leaning on it when you strike an arc!the pivots and arms i made myself.hope it works as good for you as it does for me.

Great job on the pipes. May I ask where you are sourceing the tubes from?

[E.rodz]

bought two different kits from ebay each one was about 120$ both came with 2 90's,2 45's,2 180's, 2 straights,along with some clamps and silicon boots.not bad for the price.

10 of the best G-machines EVER? Seriously? I like you. You've got balls to say that, considering how many pro shops are on this forum. You've got moxie, baby.

And I'll tel ya, that '81 is a fine peice of work, and actually IS one of the nicest trucks I've seen. Have you done a thread on it (too lazy to look right now.)

I give you props for building something besides another damned Camaro or Chevelle. And a 4 door? OUTSTANDING!

All I can say is MORE PLEASE!

And you have my permission to build my car next. Really its just fine with me.
