  1. I have to agree, and I've had guys walk away from it saying it's too much work. I tell them they really aren't qualified to to build anything. it's never about the price. Nuff Said move on.

    The amount of people that could finish a car like this is a small group. Seems that back in the day throw it together has lost it's trend when we have gotten older and better at are skills to build something.

    It’s a special thing to find something you love doing and even more so to find someone you love doing it with, who loves doing it with you. It looks like you are living the dream. I can’t recall how many times a relationship didn’t work out when they claimed to be all for my hobbies (horses, camping, cars, boats or even flying) and come to find out their definition of camping was a hotel, or being into cars meant one that was 100% completely finished ext…. Keep it up. Can’t wait to me you in person.

    No just hanging out. Too far from home to walk back if I break it. I'm hauling it to London drag strip next month. Then driving it to the tri five nationals in August :cool:

    Last 2 years I don't recall any rain here, but yeah it usually rains some. It rained for a while yesterday, couple of showers today. Just water. Can't post any of my pictures, mostly off topic drag racing. And the majority of cars in the show and some have polished torque thrust D wheels, not a fan lmao! The wheels on the front of my car make me nauseous as it is
