Blowers are nice but I like the injector look even better.
Thanks...I know what you mean about cutting them up......I'm still cutting them up.... It's all in what we love to do.....I believe in living your dreams to the fullest..I can't wait to finish this one.... I have a few more builds in my head to do... Some a little on the wild side...:DQuote:

Well that should rotate the rear tires
or skin them off! :)
Thanks... It should do that for sure... But it will be more show then go....:) Here's a few new pictures...:)
The BBC and the T-Ram makes it look like an altered C-Cab, I like it!
Make that two of us!
I took the car to get it weigh today.. It weighed in at 2240.lbs...:)
Looking good! Looks like you have no trouble at the burn-out competitions.
that looks sweet.......nice panel work....impressive.
Randy - I'm waiting to see a clip with smoke rollin' off the tires http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...ansport017.gif
Thanks Guy's... Not sure how soon y'all will be able to see the smoke... Beed down and the dumps with this crazy world we live in... No funds to do S***...So today I was just sitting around doing NOTHING... So I made some head light stands that should look very nice when I'm done... Here's a few shot's of how I spent my Thanksgiving day... Hope everyone had a blessed day...
Few shots of the four bar installed..:)
Randy - looking good!
Question - how come no adjusters on the rear four bar? You end up trapping yourself with pinion angle and axle location
The C cab is looking really great, Randy. Your fabrication and eye for the right line is impressive, and I look forward to your updates. I have to agree with Dave on the rear 4 bar, if for nothing else than chassis alignment once done and put on the machine.
Thanks guy's...As for the four bar adjusters.. I had them on my 41 willys,, And I never had to change them after installing them..I will have to set it dead on, to not have any thing out of line,, I have it very close now..If something was to go wrong... It's a easy fix..I can add in adjusters if i ever needed to..This car may not see a lot of street use ,,, I'm building it hoping to tour the big show's with..
Oh Man, I just find it hard to believe that you have come so far on this machine! And such great workmanship! You may call it determination, but I call it talent and vision (engineering?) Great vehicle. perley
Thanks.. I try..Quote:

Also made a couple of changes to the frame..
A few more..
I will be smoothing all the weld's and painting the frame and motor soon... I have to let the money pick up for now...
That thing's going to be crazy with a tunnel rammed big block. Hang on for dear life when you hit the gas! Looks fantastic, great work.
Yea !!! It should be fun for sure...Quote:

Keep plugging away Randy.
She's looking good.
Good work, the frame and engine look great! Lots of really good detail work on the interior structuring as well!
I'm trying.... The money isn't there right now... But I keep pushing a little everyday...Thanks..;)Quote:

I'm still thinking on the white..I seen a cool custom big flake green rod with the white interior and it really looked good together... I'm not one that really like's white... So its still up in the air for now...The dash and over head console will be green with all the white around it... What you think ???Quote:

I remember one that was on the show circuit in the late 60's that was done in an outlandish purple with huge gold flake in it, wish I could find a picture of it--think it was out of St. Louis area????
A Trick C-Cab like you are building Screams 60's show rod. White at a minium for accents, piping ect., is almost a must. I could see white with some contrasting piping, maybe matching your body color. If I had it to do, and could afford it, White button tuffed................................... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe green metal flake buttons and piping. Or accents in pannels. Ok thats my 2 cents. I am sure whatever you do it will be Slick..........
Wood steering wheel coming up straight at a 90 degree angle from the floor boards, and Herman Munster somewhere nearbye!;)
Thanks Guy's..All the idea's sure help's out...I can see this think done way before I even started building it.....
I'm shooting for a old 60's style show rod for sure... I'm sick of going to the world of wheels see these new cars with big wheels... Really make's me sick.... That's not what made the world of wheels and other big show's the show's they use to be..... The really Custom cars are a thing of the past... Few people are really gone after that type of build today.... I would love to bring that back... And will try to do at least one a year if I can... This car should have be done by now... But it will come.... I hope to tour with it... If it come's out like I'm hoping.... Thanks again guy's.. It means a lot to hear all the different idea's..;)
