 Did those vents fit right in there like that? I have an A-10 dash as well. I bought the Hot Rod Air brushed aluminum directional vain vents and there is no way in hell they will fit the dash holes. Maybe I could machine some of the outer perimeter off to make them go, but I would hate to have them fall apart on me if I took too much aluminum away. -Michael |

Finally a day with some car work! I put her up on the lift and pulled the tranny, swapped the flexplate, put the tranny back in the car...Tomorrow I'll be installing the fuel system, pump, filter, lines etc. and hopefully get the radiator mounted... Ryan |

Well... good news and bad news. I warmed it up sat, ran the valves and pulled it out to wash it.  Well that's where the good news stops. I started it up to put back in the garage and it quit, no spark  So I tested the pickup, it seems to be working but the coil test's like it's shorted. I ordered a new one and it should be here tomorrow.  I still hope to beat the crap out of the car on fri for putting me though this   |

Working on my first ground up build. Finished my chop a while back.  Yep, thats an 8 3/4 Rear. Now its about finishing up the Chassis...  And being able to use my Pineapple Grenade as a shifter  Here are my Grill choices. I'm thinking the black and silver 32 one, whatcha' think?  Been a few months of work, but this will be one nasty hot rod pick up. I think she will weigh in around 1800lbs |

A chop is pretty daunting........all flat glass I suppose in that hot rod, makes it a little easier. Looks good

Thanks man, yeah the chop was a challenge, not because of the chop itself but because I raked the windshield back Bonneville style. A regular chop would have taken me a week, the raked windshield chop took 3 months. Its chopped 6.5", and yeah, the windshield will be 2 piece flat glass. The next one I do will be much faster. You learn so much building a vehicle from scratch. |
