Get on the Night T-rian... MY T BUILD

Ol' Sugartits, that's classic! I like your rear crossmember idea, I'm stealin' that shit for my RPU. Keep the tech pics coming, it's great so far!

 

Lookin good man!!! Keep postin the pics!

I lived in Milwaukee til I was 18 when I left to join the Navy. That was '96 and Florida is much warmer!! Is Kopp's Custard still on 76th & Layton? Loved their food!!!!

 

that rear cross member is rad... it makes mine look like a pile of Puke!

Awesome work, Chris. Post some updates when you can. I can't believe this dropped all the way to page 11. Maybe not rocka-silly-riffic enough. If you don't use the "SugarTits" name- I might want to buy it from you. Oh, and wear earplugs/earmuffs, they work. Nice job, man!

Starting to take shape I love it. Great work so far, even for a cheesehead.

 

You HAVE to stick with "Ol' Sugartits" or you're out of the handsome man club.

Lil Chris is a ruler.

 

You don't have a choice in the matter, "Ol Sugar Tits" HAS to be the name! hahaahahaaaa

Sure looks sweet (tie-in) un-chopped though.....

 

Gawd what a great post, I learn so much stuff from things like this. Can't wait to see more of the "Ol Sugertits" build!

 

Ol Sugar Tits is bad ass,,,,hahahaa
I use to drink Night train and Thunderbird like a fish when I was your age,,
I was chasing tail tooo...but that got me no where fast...

evel

 

Cool work, cool engine choice. Got options stylistically... could go fifties or sixties style on the build with the parts there; or do something different. Hard to go wrong with what you've got together so far.

Thought about leaving it un-chopped? I've always been kinda' partial to a really lowered car with stock-height roof; seems to accentuate the lowness of the car's stance. But WTF, your money, your build - got to go your own way.

Except that I think the HAMB has spoken on the name: your car will forever be "Ol Sugartits". Just don't ask the HAMB to name your car... Tingler ended up with a Ford named "Cum Dumpster".

That thread was funnier than hell.

You can thank the Jean Jacket for the name. That Night Train really kicked my ass though. Stay tuned. I pulled the motor back out and should be tacking in the rear crossmember within the next day or two..

 

Cool Build Chris...

 

It may just be me but, is anyone else freaked out by the lil' face in the left corner of the cross member?! Tell me it just aint me!!
Love the build by the way. The frame and x member are dead sexy.

 

ricknroll - i saw that too!! ha ha!

hauntings aside, great build.

 

Yeah that is the face of OZZY. He shows up whenever things rule.


I still think it should be called NITE TRAIN...... hahaha chris has good stories.
"Nice Thigh" hahahahahaa

 

holy shit!

 

I saw that a few days ago too!!! holy shit!

 

Sweet, I'm not crazy.
Well, not for this reason anyway.

 

awesome work chris, here are some more "before pics"

 

I agree...think hard before you chop it...look at the before and "after" pictures that were posted...

 

Awesome Thanks Nick. I'm glad you found it again. The chop is going to be one of the last things i do, and might be done after the car moves under its own power. It is a defining operation that needs to be done to the right degree.

 

I got the crossmember tacked in today. Im going to add more gussetry and whatnot. I kept the face.






HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

Your work looks great!!
When you're done you will love it because you did it all yourself.

 

Thats Rad, Dig the rear crossmember.
Drew

 

Nice! Ozzy is your co-pilot!
Again, nice work man.

 

can u post a closer pic of how u made brackets on the rear to use the big arch spring? It looks like its like 3 inches in front of the rear.

 

nevermind they are on the front page must have skipped it. Cool build hope my T coupe starts looking that good.

 

Awesome write up on the build, and thanks for keeping me updated via AIM on the progress Chris. Your talent was easy to see, hell back when you were 15 welding up the step notches on my s10 your beads had everyones jaws dropping to the floor. This build doesn't surprise me at all, fucking A1 quality man.


I can't wait to see this car on the road.

 

I don't know how I missed this but I like. Can't wait to see more..
