Thanks 98...afraid I get chatty at times. More a BLOG and less a "how to" thread...cause I don't know all the "how to"!

It doesn't look like you need much help though.
I've built cars, trucks & bikes and I love them all. I wish I had more equipment though ...
Keep us posted.

The 99-r46 box is a pretty good idea.
Have to see if I can do it. Hear you on equipment. I love'em all too r46. Just want one of each.

Funny how things come full circle.

Now that is a good story 99! Good he is back in the game. This farmer friend of mine since we were 5 had a 1970 Demon (50,000 miles rust free) he was building in the real early 80's. Had Wayne County speed shop do the 340 engine (were dominant in NHRA pro stock then) and it was wicked. I did the 727 tranny....extra clutches, reverse pattern valve body...
He almost finished the car, got married and put it in a barn. Fast forward 20 years his 17 year old son (one who built the 30 x 40 shop) drug it out of the barn, got me, his dad and uncle involved and finished the car off. It was like the early 1980's again. And really good to see the young friend on the streets in the Demon. Yep, it still sounds wicked.
