My AV8 is on the road, it's video story...

As some of you know, both my brothers, Sam and John visited me recently, and we all did a little work on my car to try and get it down the road and had a blast doing it. We filmed the first "real" drive, but my wife couldn't let a second rate video be posted on the internet, so she spent countless hours with our 5 year old computer trying to make it look good. Long story short, we need a better computer. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures(it looks good on my end, just can figure how to post it in high res), enjoy.

 

You should be very proud...what a great thing to do with your bros.

 

Rad, congradulations

 

Nice car and interesting flick. You did a great job.

 

Great story, great video, and great car! You should be very proud of your accomplishments!

 

Thanks for the parts Max.

 

Hey do you have some still pics to post too?
Thanks

 

Sure, here's a few...some random shots from the archives.

 

Very cool - the best is you did it with your brothers!

 

Thanks man! Beautiful!

 

Excellent!

 

Excellent, great incentive for us who are in the process (somewhere)

 

well done

 

Good deal... The whole family was involved.

Looking at those pictures, your car is a traditional hot rod in every sense of the word. I'm even more impressed thatn I was after watching the video. I've said it once, but I'll say it again, you really should be proud of your accomplishment!

 

Nice job! Great to have a wife that suports the addiction(good video)

 

Congrats!.....I just "finished" my build after 4 years too. Your build is perfect, I've been watching this one from the start. Great job!

 

The video was kick ***! the only thing was my eys were over worked with the pan in on every picture. None the less I love the car and the video!

Nicely done.

 

Great story, good looking ride, and old computer or not, your wife did a great job on the video!

 

*****in video dude!!! That car looks absolutely amazing!!! and to build it with your family helping out and a wife that backs you the way yours clearly does... congratulations and way to go!!!

The resolution of the video has nothing to do with you or your computer. The video hosting site automatically compresses the video to make it more accessible on the world wide web.

 

Strube!!! Congrats man - the car is beautiful! Can't wait to see it...

 

Congrats and a big round of applause to your esteemed better half for a very nice video.

 

None of the current reality shows would have had **** on the two of us working on this thing in the garage.

The late Steve Hendrickson got it right when he did the article on us for Rodder's Digest...

It's been a great journey... time to start the next one.

I just noticed it's been four years to the day that we did the work on the frame.

Weird stuff there, Sam. I literally was just looking at the ch***is build-up threads because I remembered something about pedals that I had read in there!! Spooky.

 

I love that roadster!!! Makes me want to get out in the garage and get something done!!!

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Outstanding video and great music background to go with it, just fantastic.
The roadster is terrific and doing it with your brother is beyond words. Great Job!

 

Cool Ride, nice pics, good dog.

 

Awesome!!!!

Where did you buy the Spark Plug wires??
I can only find them for early engines...
