[Lt1_8U]

i don't participate in things like that

thanks guys, hopefully tomorrow i will be stripping the hood and driver fender.

i use wire nuts because its a lot easier to twist wires together with them, i just wanted to run the wires to the switch and made sure it worked before i connected it. i hate getting stabbed with that damn wire when twisting them together lol

[ar0ck]

Love it!

[Blackbirdws6]

Looking good so far. Any estimated date of completion?

[Lt1_8U]

Thanks! Well it should be running by February and I have to wait for warmer weather to strip the rest of the car and prime it. I need to finish fuel lines, bleed the brakes and put my EWP and carb on and properly mount the plug wires

[Jersey Mike]

My back hurt just reading that

[Kat]

looking good man.

BTW Plywood is your friend when laying down in that stuff.. :)

[Lt1_8U]

Thanks, it's like laying on a pillow compared to the stone hahah

[BonzoHansen]

Hardboard is even better to lay on. Lighter, smooth to slide on.

[Lt1_8U]

That's a great idea, ill get a sheet of that!

[Featherburner]

Even better is a lift...just saying.

[Lt1_8U]

Your more than welcome to purchase me a lift and a garage with the ceiling height :)

[Featherburner]

Your more than welcome to purchase me a lift and a garage with the ceiling height :)I already paid for that stuff for myself, sorry.:lol:

[The_Bishop]

So, move the build to Featherburner's shop?
:laugh:

[Lt1_8U]

I'm in! Should I rent a trailer? Or can you flatbed it?

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x94/69novaguy/image-3_zps32baeff6.jpg

[Featherburner]

I have a car trailer. Do you need my truck to pull it too? We can work on a package deal!

[LTb1ow]

While you are offering, come pick up my heap, you can add more LT1 shenz to your collection! :rofl:

[Lt1_8U]

Group builds! Can't pull the nova with hopes and dreams! ....We could push it faster

[BonzoHansen]

John, we are quite close to the delaware, this could be fun :)
