Ross, I am blown away by the speed with which you are working on this car! can't wait to come hang out with you and Adam & see this beast in person! And I WILL want you to make a rotisserie for me!!

Great work, man, and I can't wait to see more. Luckily for me, at the rate you work, I won't have to wait long!

Thanks for the kind words man! Let me know when you want that rotisserie, after making one and getting all the measurements figured out, doing another one would be cake!

A little update. spent more time in the garage stripping the bottom. I have removed all brake lines, and fuel lines. took off any studs that were not going to be used. Took out the e-brake lines, and got the under coating stripped from the firewall back to the rear seat area. I'll need to flip it up right next to strip the glue on the spare tire carrier so I can drop that. Then finish the stripping and stitch welding.

Once the bottom is stripped/stitched it'll go horizontal again so I can strip the engine bay, make some modifications and get it all welded up. By March 2nd I'd really like to be fitting the roll cage up if all goes well.

I will totally take you up on that!! So, is the car finished yet? At the pace you're going, it wouldn't surprise me!!

[IronFreak]

I have a braking question that maybe some of you can help me with. See the attached thread!

Also for your viewing pleasure......"The PS blocking plate!"

While the rack was being stripped the two banjo bolts were just chillin, minding there own business when a small block of aluminum came up behind them....



Little did the Aluminum know the banjo bolts were evil conniving animals that saw a use for the unsuspecting little block......



Holding the block hostage they took there measurements to verify their little plan.....



"Perfect" they screamed!!! and proceeded to mark him up for their devious plan!!



Then they locked him into the mechanical hold mechanism....



TO BE CONTINUED

DUN DUN DUN!!!

On our next episode - Will the poor aluminum block escape the deathly clutches of the drill press, or will the evil little banjo bolts have their way!!

Stay tuned!

Nice progress, Ross! Keep it coming!

[IronFreak]

[IronFreak]

Because I have big biceps ;).....and less weight, and more room for other more important items in the engine bay.
