Windshield $79! - Not like I had the money this week, But I got it.. Next I would like to get the juices flowing on the brakes and connect the Vacuum line to the Booster.. then a $300 Driveshaft !! - Building a Car is not cheap.. Whew!
I think you've reached the point from an engineering standpoint where you can stop calling it a "rat rod" & maybe contemplate slapping a coat of paint on that baby.
@1212sman True it's not slapped together as some (not all) Rats are.. But some people build em with more safety features than your average Nascar racer..(roll-bars etc.) Paint wouldn't be til next year.. Limited funds and I only get about 2-3 days a week to work on a given area.. I do what I can.. when I can..
I bet the moment you get the prop shaft bolted in you'll be driving up and down the lane sat on a crate..lol... good going Rob, happy Father's day fellah. ..Del.
@Moonfleet41 - Thanks Moon.. Actually I have two Cavalier seats hanging in the rafters that are bolt-ins.. Just gotta have them covered in something cool to match like ODG Canvas.. :^P
Sweet! all you need is a driveshaft and you won't have to push it in and out of the garage anymore! First ride coming soon, up and down the driveway...I can feel it in my bones.
You cheated again on the first post...boo, hoo, hoo..................
She is really starting to look like a real car now, especially with the doors on. Nice!
@xaboo - Soooo much quieter with the long Cherry Bombs.. deep & smooth sounding.. Just gotta fix that exhaust leak and set the rocker arms now that I can hear them.. TY -Rob
NEXT VIDEO - THE WINDSHIELD IS INSTALLED - WHOOT !
