Default Me too...

I bought mine about a year ago. It's a piece of art!!! I haven't had time to start on the car just yet. But I have all my suspension parts, front and rear. I'm also doing the dana 44 IRS out back. I have my LS1 and 6 speed which I will be doing twin turbo's. Post pictures of your progress. It will be some inspiration to get me started on mine. Good luck with the build!

Thumbs up

Thanks Dave and Steve,
Yes it is a work of art.
I still have alot of goodies to get, but the big ticket items are out of the way.
I will be picking Tyler's brain and trying out some of his goodies for the build. He has been maxxed out gettin' ready for SEMA, but will quit bugging him on the phone and get my butt down there, hopefully to gaze at his 50/50.
Will keep posting/pics as things go forward.
Tom

Angry F#*K ME!!! This sucks

I'll try to get some pics of the frame, but it may be moot, I just moved out, my wife snapped and is threatening to sell all of my project. All because she couldn't get ahold of me for 1-1/2 hours, f*ck her!
I am half tempted to massage the car and LS1 with a sledge hammer, then nobody would want it, or maybe I should roll it out of the garage and burn it to the ground.
F#*%- it, F#*%- it all, I am pissed and hate life and every one in it!!!
May not be posting much more here, if things change I'll let you know.

If she's threatening to do that... and divorce is in the future(I hope its not though) seriously, sell the car to a buddy of yours for 10 bucks(hell a dollar works)....Actually, sell it to your dad, brother, mom, who ever you can seriously trust. My buddy had to sell his prostreet car to hide it from the wife!

Just a short story....My neighbor was in a dirtbike accident...He hit his best friend head on(after saying he wasn't going to ride without wearing a helmet, his buddy gave him his because he was "more experience") His best friend died from his skull being crushed(the one that gave up his helmet). My neighbor ended up with titanium mesh holding his eye socket together along with numerous plates/screws. His parents divorced 3 years prior... NOTHING except this has brought them closer together. Shows how pathetic divorce actually is in the scheme of things...Both of the parents even admitted how wrong they were with the divorce.
