I could see the pics.
NickJ
yup they work now...

its pretty nice for a car that you bought that was already raced, and spent 2 years staring at it and welding in a few bars and patches... lol, just teasin'

cant wait to see it painted on the outside!
MaddMike
Lookin good. Don't forget the fuzzy dice and crown air freshener...

Nice piece. Of course I expect no less out of your camp.

I love clean!
stinkfist
Thanks alot guys. Its taken forever, but it feels pretty good to get paint on it!
stinkfist
Yeah Gavin you can certainly see the camps "influence" on some of the bars. The outside of the cage was already there. We installed the X, seat brackets, replaced the upper half of the cage and kick down bars through the fire wall. We used all chromolly to replce all of the bars. The car was really rusty so we had to patch, patch, and repatch. Making progress now guages are in ect. Thanks for putting those guages in yesterday Nick. You did a good job it looks good. A small sponsor would really help to get the motor, but were trying to make opening day.

You might consider cutting off part of the brake pedal so that it is not so wide. It was designed for one foot drivers.

Nate if we have nice weather next weekend bring your car down to the shop. We have a pad out front and I will help you. Its gotta be warm though otherwise we'll freeze outside, but we have good facilities for doing assembly work. You would know that if you and grandpa ever made it down. Tell Traft he's a bum for never coming down to shoot the breeze with me. jk If you can bring your car down there's always a few people here including myself who would be willing to lend you a hand.

this is true, just cause its painted doesnt mean its done mr. decker.... youve got a ton of work to do still, like putting a motor in it and making it run and drive! new deadline... april 5th... lol

Ive decided, im not starting on mine, till im done helping you with yours, so if i miss opening night, its gonna be your fault.

thanks again cam, awesome work,

Inspector Nick (I was a total pain in the a** through the entire painting process, yes i know im picky)

Thas BS dude were getting yours out this weekend. Well still get mine there. Im going to be there tonight. At least a couple of hours any way lets see if we can get the motor and tranny in. I'm going to watch a movie with the kids later, but we could hammer a bit out after work.
