I've had a pile of family stuff to do,just about caught up,its funny tonight was the first time of even looked at the car in a while.The one rear door post was rotted beyond repair,I just replaced it tonight with one off a doner car.Its funny before RTTH,none of this little stuff was important,I just wanted to make it mobile.But since I didn't make it,I figured I might as well fix all this stupid crap that will make it a much nicer car.This weekend I should do the final welding on the rear flares{I'll post some pics then}Ron

Finally got the rear flares made,but I can't attach them until I get the exhaust exits figured out.I'm having a hell of a time building something that is as large as I want it to be,but not look stupid,because I usually don't like side exhaust.I think I've desided on 4" pipe split down the middle with a 1" peice of flat bar welded in making it an oval,with a 3" pipe inside it,with the same treatment,I'm going to have to look at it some before I weld it all in.What do you think?

Ok,figured how I'm doing the exhaust,dummying up the flares I built,I'm not really sure I'm in love with them either,I'm finding its kind of hard to cover up 5 inches of tire.Truefully,what do you think?You won't hurt my feelings,I hate to back to the drawing board,but I will if they don't grow on me.Ron

The budget got busted on my mad dash to get to RTTH.I'm floating around $5900.00.Everything is here except the windsheild and a gallon of paint.Thought about functioal vents,but thats more time and money.I NEED TO DRIVE SOMETHING!!Ron
Trying the IMSA Monza look,what do you think?Ron
I'm down to the 2 of them,either with possible vents.Walk around it a couple more times tomorrow then flip a coin.LOL.I've got to keep reminding myself of what this project is.Grunge,lack of perfection touring.Its not supposed to be perfect,originally I told myself I'd attach the quarters with zip screws,for easy replacement{I may still}Ron
Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!
