    just drove it to the gas station and back! the power brakes rules and the rack is no nice. the thing drives like a brand new car! Had a guy at the gas station pull up and start taking pictures of it and ****. that was funny. it was real loud on open headers so i better get the lakes pipes on it.just a few issues to ****on up and ill be golden for autorama. but the main part is done it can make it to detroit and back now! i can breath a sigh of relief after 6 weeks of non stop thrashing!:D :D :D

    i smell like exhuast and i need a nap! i wanted to drive it to work tommrow but im content with it right now so im going to take today off and relax a little then do the exuahst tommrow after work once i get more fire wood for my stove cause its to damn cold out side.

    Thanks to every one who helped me out and guided me thru it and pushed me to get it done. Viva La HAMB!

    heres some pics! big ones thanks to Brandy;) :D

    Looks so much nicer with paint on it. Any plans for a front bumper? And where did the name "space herpie" come from anyway? I must have missed that one. Now go take a nap.

    it will get a stock front bumper tucked in. and a new gravel pan for the front. prob not by autorama.

    And you can thank fathack for the name. its named after some weird critter in the movie ice pirates. o and you want to get nostalgic on the pic how bout one from when i got the car:D

    dont go thinking the car is done done. i still has plenty more then can be done to it. but im done till next winter as far as major changes go. its time to start on my new project soon.

    Damn, between your car, DeathsDoorstep, and the lander.... I'm gonna be a picture-taking fool!
