Drove it? !!!! That's killer news to hear after watchin' all that blood, sweat and tearin' from my couch and computer.
Some updated PICs.. I spent tonight prepping for the exhaust shop tomorrow. Since I rebuilt the engine. I really want to be able to cruise with the wife and i know she isn't down with the noise or the fumes... Honestly, both bother me... err... guess I'm getting old It's all good...
YES - I Know the plate is off center Also, i will be ditching the expanded metal rear window.. Towards the end of this summer i will be pulling it apart and going with hot rod black, candy apple red metal flake red top and scallops for paint and red plexi gl*** rear and side windows..... Ya all cool with that ?
R. J...Awesome build. I appreciate your creativity and direction..How does it run. What do you think of the intake performance wise.. Duane.
Way to get the little on in there as a helper! My dad did that with me building his A, hooked me for life
Can't believe I am just chiming in now on this RJ... Looking great, and the updates and improvements really add to the overall look...definitely deserves paint, I like the scheme you described above... Also, having seen your car, I can say first hand that I was too distracted with the hemi' and '97s to even look at your brakes Car's looking ***s man. BRT
Thanks for taking the time to share with us I got a couple of good ideas, like you want to finish mine for me?
great looking coupe...one of my favorite build threads....deff gives some inspiration especially having a son and seeing that yours helps with the work!!!!
Been too busy driving it... Plus i have a new project I've been working on ( not HAMB material though ). I'm throwing a 4 linked coilover D60 under my D-max In regards to the coupe, i have no complaints, except the exhaust is TOO quiet now... I think I'm going to reverse the GP's and see how that works... I went with 2" pipe which also keeps it a bit quieter... Went with 2 due to ground clearnace issues... Thanks for the comments guys
Found a weakness with my lower links. I've been noticing my rear end was drifting on the highway. I had almost 3/4 of an inch of slop in the rear end links. Seems the built 727 combined with the super light wheight car eats poly bushings. I went to WFO today to upgrade to some BEEF. I also decided to get some L/R tube adapters so I can acytually adjust it. The lame lowrider stuff was pretty cheapo.. ALSO - I'm now running all three 97's together ( no progressive ) . runs much better EDIT : On a side note: - after wrecking my D-max this year, I drove this car the ENTIRE summer from June through Sept. No issues other than the mentioned above
Good to see an update...well even if not an update a current picture of the car! Toss some more on when you get a chance!
[QUOTE="Whitey Ford" 62 Uni;4701110]you need to put a video up...first time seeing this as well, congrtas. very cool.[/QUOTE] Looks great. How about a video. That would be a great Christmas present.
Here is a quik vid I did early this year. My paint and window plans have changed a bit since this vid was take. Now leaving or going with a brown. I've also straigh piped the exhaust ( it was too quiet ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJzJAQ3c96E
