I have a lot less money since I started this project! And I bought the car on a whim at an auction! I could have started one from scratch and spent less money.

So far - the original car might as well of been two frame rails and a couple UCA's. Sheeeeesh!

I didnt realize that tearing an existing car apart would cost more, thanks for the heads up Greg

You having less money is still more than most.
Just razzing ya Greg, everything you have had done looks killer.

Every car I've ever owned (I've owned so many I've lost count! 40 maybe?) has been absolutely PERFECT when I bought them... and within a few weeks... TOTAL RE-DO! Don't ask me why. It's some kind of disease. I drive 'em a bit - and then starts the thinking... "well if I did this and changed that and....."

It's a standing joke for my wife.

Tracy! It's just an adult go-kart!

I here ya Greg, were never satified. Almost like a women changing her wardrobe every second

great car Greg. If I could figure out how to fit in one I'd love to do one, absolutely love the way they look.

Welding up the front "whatchamacallit" thingy.

I think I have seen one of these things before. I'll see if I can remember. Oh yeah there called a cow catcher on the front of a Train!

Hey nothing wrong with that at all Greg. We're all car guys here. We all have that "disease".

The hot rod is looking great.
