That is pretty cool Chad. Thanks for that. I have own this car for almost 8 years. I've fell in love with this car and have know desire of changing the color scheme of it. Hopefully maybe one day i could have touched up by gould himself.
SR. is no longer with us and Bruce just moved down to Florida a while back. Probably be rough to get him to take care of it.Quote:

I have them on layaway plan for the next five years.
Just get Shayne to come off of some of his moldy money!!! Him and Tony are pretty tight so maybe he'll cut you a deal! Im ready to see you get it done!
Me to. Once the engine is done I got to get tranny tourqe converter then suspension done. It will be awhile longer but well worth it.
Finally got my head's done. They will be hand delivered to me at my work. Can't wait to see them in person. Till tomorrow.
You have the short block all together now?
Not yet. Engine builder didn't know if Bes was going to make it a 50 or 60cc head. Now he can order the pistons for it. Plus I told him know hurry. It takes time to make the money for all these expensive parts but I think I almost have enough to get it finished.
Pistons getting ordered now since I got my little heads back. Also went with the cid 2 piece intake. It sucks about everything being custom order because it just takes to long to get.
Getting closer then!!
Yes sir.i get excited for everytime I buy a new part. Just wish the car was done but in time it will.
When you think it will be completed?
I cant wait to see it back out! That was a cool car!
Hopefully some time this year.lol. Still saving money to finish it. Costing me more than I wanted to spend but almost done.
A set of aluminum jewel rockers got ordered. Had to sell the left nut to buy them. I'm glad I'm almost done. This is stressful
You have to be getting close!
Hopefully you are ready to bring it out come spring. Im ready to see it done!
I'm hoping. Everything just cost so much building a big engine. I'm thinking another 5k and sometime this year it should be done. I wasn't expecting paying 2400 for rockers. But this thing is going to be a high rpm engine. I still need a good tranny and tourqe converter. That's another 5gs then another 5 to 6 gs to finish suspension. I would love to have it rolling next year but money doesn't come that quick. So I'm looking for another year plus and it will be done.
More like 5+ years the way his luck is... Hahaha
That's for real.. I was trying to see if someone would lend me everything besides the engine so I could run next year. Lol
I heard Shayne has some nice spare parts laying around that would work just fine in there for a while!

Not sure on color yet, but it is getting Powder Coated for sure. Rob did it, he always does a great job.

I was wondering if Rob did it. Turned out awesome! He is an artist for sure!
Strange axles and spool are on order, should be here this time next week to do some pre-assembly.
Sounds like he is making good progress! Bet he will be glad when its done. Been a long time coming.
Yup, he's going to do it some justice, so I believe.
Maybe you'll have to paint a hood here soon?
Cant wait to see it back out!
Yah, I actually already have a hood painted, I just need to fit it. Maybe I'll do that along with the other 1,000 things that I need to get finished over the winter, we'll see.Quote:

Motivation has been on low supply these days, simple steps at this time. Axles and spool showed up today, one step closer.
He helps me out more than he worry's about his car lately. I don't mind. Lol
Finally got my cid intake. It only took 5 months but worth the wait. This thing is huge. Was told I wouldn't be able to run the car to much do to all the fuel its going to drink. Lol. Hopefully I will have pictures uploaded soon.
Wont be able to run the car too much????
