    Well after over a year and a half of building, I'm almost completed with the building portion of my car.. I'm going to start the wiring layout next week. Blow it apart, Paint it. Dark Navy Blue, With silver running gear. I'm hoping to be at the next ANRA event with the car. And will have to be sure to do a burn out, So I can let Joe Hamby know.. I'll try to get some pictures and get ??????? to post them for me. As I do not have the necessary equiptment to do it. (Called Brains) Then I gotta start s****ing up some necessary driving gear.. I lost my original thread to the great garbage can in the sky Evadently, Cause I can't find it ....

    OK, Thingy invoked the magic enslavement chant of "ol' buddy, ol'pal" on me, so against my better judgement here're the latest pictures from Mosely's Speed Emporium. :D

    Randy,, I already have , A few times, for break in.. I don't think Im going to blow it apart for paint untill after my peepers are repaired.. I'll run it just as it is for time being.. First outing will be the Eagle field event on the 10th of next month.. BTW.. The nose art is by my 11yr old Grandson.. He wanted to paint this on Grampa's car...

  10. congrat's sir, appreciate the 'tired' perspective, but great to see the progress, and similarly the sense of 'finalisation' of a project, job well done.

    Cheers,

    Drewfus

    P.S. any chance of some photo's of that fiat sitting along side;):D:)

    Very nice! Everytime one of us "older guys" gets a car together, It makes me feel so good. Not as good as having a rootbeer float, but close.:D

    Car looks absolutely great.

    Couple of questions.

    What engine model is it?

    Where did you get that super neat radiator.

    Hi Butch.. The engine is a 62 model Chev 194. I know, I just s****ed under the wire. But it was FREE for the taking.. As for the radiator,, I'm not sure where that came from.. It kinda just showed up one day, and it has been lying around the place for about 5 yrs.. So I used it. BTW. It is aluminum.. And it keeps the engine cool....

    Way to go, ****! It will be a great experience at Eagle Field. Make sure someone takes lots of pictures so us stay at homes can enjoy the event.

    That's one fine looking car you built. Congratulations.

    Hi Mr Mosely! I am proud to say that you have been on the burnout list since Sept. 21, 2009. If you could wipe that smile off your face you might be able to see past it and see that list. Congratulation. Joe
