Tim, the lettering is the icing on the cake. Great looking race car!

 

Agreed!

 

Thanks Tom and Justin, the iceing on the cake for me will be when I make my first pass with this thing, Here's a couple more updates, got the windshield back in the car , and I didn't like the look of the weedburners ,so I cut a set of the zommies apart and changed the angle so they didn't burn the body, Tim Jones

Thanks Kjell , The blower motor will come next year still gathering parts for it, Tim Jones

 

Thanks Bob, Yeah the lines on the race car aren't quite as nice as the model T your helping me build , but it will do for an old race car, Tim Jones , BTW I'll look up your build

 

Brian Chollett Finished all the lettering today, got the side panels back on the chassis, Here's a couple more pics,,,Now just need it to stop raining for a day or so to push it outside for some pics,,, Tim Jones

 

Wow, Tim car looks awesome!

 

Those boys have been trying to get me to run the Flatcad down there-60 miles from the house! My car is way to heavy, so I'm trying to find a cheap roller gasser or FED!

If you come down this way, make sure to give me a heads up, and I'll make sure the spare bedroom is ready!

 

Patience buddy patience Tim your car looks great I'm a bit closer than buddy feel free to come down and run your car at the hamb drags its only 3 miles from my house

Damn Tim that is gettin better and better!!!

 

Thanks Rocky and Carl, building this thing has been more fun that I've had in alot of years John the HAMB drags is on my ever growing list of places to go with this car,, I'll make sure I stop by,, Buddy thanks for the offer, sounds like a plan, Even tho I was really looking forward to the good old days of sleeping in the truck or trailer, Staying in Flea bag motels, and living on beef jerky and beer, It was a blast when I was in my teens and twenties, I'm sure it would be just as fun now that I'm in my fifties ,,,,,, Tim Jones

 

It's just as much fun into your late sixties...NOT!! Must admit that as the years add up, "creature comforts" become more important.

Uh Tom creature comforts do become more important but sometimes its cool to just throw a sleeping bag in and damn the torpedoes move forward, however what they call a 2 person tent is a crock unless the two people are 8 years old, and I would only suggest to try this maybe once or twice as it sure is nice to sleep in a camper. Of course do not try this with your wife, I repeat DO NOT try this with your wife, do not even suggest it to her................<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

Been there, done that stuff Carl. The wife and I camped out of the back of our Aeronca Champ for many years. Even had one of those little tents, with a ceiling fan. Now the ground is too damn hard, the port-a-pots are too far away and out idea of "roughing it is a cheap motel. Done a few of those too and really prefer a slightly nicer motel when it fits the budget.

 

Got a chance after work to push it outside for a few pics, Tim Jones

 

Damm Jones looks great in the sun. I'm jealous you should drive it to work

 

that is just BAD ASSSSSSSS Tim..............

 

Kick Ass!!

 

Very cool! can't wait to see the finished work

 

Just caught up with this thread............you've been busy Tim, cars looking great.
Came out really nice, when you gonna burn some rubber???

 

Thanks Bob , how well do you think it would do on the gravel roads out here before I got to the highway,,, Tim Jones

 

Thanks , That makes two of us ,,, Tim Jones
