Hot Rods The Belly Button Bucket Build Thread

Good news on the job! I’m going to watch the video about 5 times…

 

That's great news on the new job Tim, should make your holidays happier.

 

Sorry the rain is holding you back, but living in the PNW it's like complaining about heat in Death Valley. Hope all the earth moving and upgrades to the yard are holding up to the weather. I'd hate to do all that and see entropy set in.

As for the job, I hope it is a great fit. From seeing your work, I know they hired someone who is all about doing what it takes to do things right.

 

Just a couple of pictures from around your place to show us how it’s holding up…

 

Really, you must have a wide angle lens. One picture? Maybe two? We’re all curious…

 

There’s a few pictures on the Garage Journal thread, those will have to do lol

 

Sure, make us all go over there to see what it looks like. I guess…

 

Drove the car today since the sun was out. Trying to burn up the majority of the fuel in the tank so I can pull the body off to address the rear suspension, a****st some other things. Cold drive, but an awesome drive. Initial hesitation if you stab it is still there, but it takes off a lot cleaner than previously. I only got on it a couple times, first time no hesitation, second time, in second gear from a roll with low airspeed in the carb(s), hesitated for a fraction of a second then ripped the tires loose for the entirety of 2nd gear, grabbed 3rd but only rolled into the throttle initially, got to the top of 3rd gear which is fast enough and let off. So I’ll pick back up on this after addressing some other glaring issues, but it drives great. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, folks!

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

 

I don't drink anymore, but I'm tilting one your way, Tim!
