I got the pleasure of seeing this thing the other night. That color is bad ass. No other way to say it. I can't wait to see it hanging high and screaming down the 1/4

Good to see your back at it matt...cant wait to see it out:rockon:

Im kinda at a stand still till I can come up with some money to buy some Chassis Saver or POR 15 and a tube of seam sealer.

I keep forgetting my camera. I'll have to take some pics next time Im out there. :)

did you ever get some POR 15?

Hi! Im Matt Johnson and I will be thrashing on this once again.:D

Bout time!! :)

Is that a direct order Mr. Newport? :D


Your right, I need to get humping again. Its sitting out at the Ponymom stable, which is an uninsulated garage. The weather is too miserable to be out there working on it right now. Even with a 500,000BTU torpedo heater its brrrrr.

I did sit down for about 2 hours last night and plan out my fuel system, Spaghetti Menders electrical kit, all suspension parts, and brake system. I need about $6,000 to do all this the way I want. Thinking about taking out a loan to get this going in the near future.

well a real man in his quest for speed... would man up and say fuck the cold and work anyways... or do as my old boss use to tell me when the heaters broke.. put your coat on and work harder :lol:

Spaghetti Menders? I thought you were on a Budget? Serious, get Joe to wire that Sunkist Stang and all it cost you is a Captain Morgan, reserve.:)

Sorry about the lack of insulation in the cold weather. At least it's under roof! Anyone have heated garage space to donate to get this car done?

I'm truly grateful for everything you've done to help me. You have treated me like a second son this past year with racing and everything. If it weren't for you, I would have had to sell it because I have no place to keep it. :)

Have you seen any of the Spaghetti Menders stuff? They make some pimp ass race car wiring. Im still going to need Joe's help hacking down my engine harness though.

where there ya go Mr.Matt. No excuses now. Get to work http://www.fomfracing.com/forums/ima.../mechanic2.gif

You've got a truck and Ii've got a trailer. Get 'er down to the shop and Git-R-DOne. Or is Craig Newport gonna' won this thing w/o a fight? You've come too far to let that happen.

I've read every post on this thread and I have finally got to the end. The color is beautiful along with your work! I cant wait to see the final pics of it. I've always wanted mine painted in the Tangelo Pearl but I dont have the time or knowledge to do it. Or atleast I think. It just goes to show what reading and getting a little hands on or help from some buddies can do. Great thread and hope you finish it up soon. I love it!:bigthumb

ponymanfive0 get that thing ready i'm about ready to spray it

It can be as bad as Chassis Shops.:mad:

Rule #1. Dont drop your shit off and tell them your not in a hurry. Make them come to you. ;)
