Honestly Brian, I wish I had the motivation that you have. Plus the skills and knowledge that made your car what it is now. If that would have been my project it would still have holes in the floor.

Not that you are taking to long we just don't want to see you loose time while you are away for work.

But anyways does look amazing and I don't think Chad and I together could build a car that came out like yours. We have a long way to go before we could build something on this level.

If you think youve got a long way to go, read back through the 52 pages and see how far you've come I definately wish I had your motivation too, you really have done a great job.

Year n a half for a total start to finish project of this caliber seems fast to me. Good job in everything and relax in Canada because we expect her to be done soon after

ack! I was 2 bends short of having enough aluminum tubing to finish the cold side...so I ordered some more. Also just dropped an additional $550 in miscellaneous fittings and supplies

I should have most everything I need to finish it up when I get back from the northern country

Mine hasn't run since June of 07 and my build isn't nearly as involved, expensive, or complicated as yours. My 93 will if ever probably hit the road about 10 years from now. The amount of time you've taken to get this thing together is seriously impressive for building it in your garage.

Mine has been down since 08 for various reasons. I wish there was somebody in the area to give me a hand. I only have two days of work left to do.

What a great thread! Thanks for taking the time to post. Your pics of your Moser 9" motivated me to go that route.
