I know, however it won't come back painted, just the jambs will be, I am gonna assemble it and get it running first, I do not want scratches on it!!!

Very nice! I'm surprised you didn't paint the firewall body color. Or are you going for the resto rod type feel for it? Just curious. The car has a sweet stance for sure!

eastninemoto · 09-30-2010, 08:34 PM

Sorry I am not on much right now just trying to get some things done.

mcbassin · 11-25-2010, 02:40 PM

Where you at Nuke? You have an update for us on this project? come on now.

nuke1 · 01-05-2011, 12:37 AM

Hey, to be truthful, i hate to admit this, but, i have been absent for alittle while yes. the car stalled, in other words my Honey-do-list was very large, and i had to tend to that for a bit. I apologize Graham for not working on the car the last little bit, i surely have wanted to, but i needed to get my basement renovated, the little one needs a place to play and so the last couple months i have been working on this, gutted it to nothing, i have a little bit left and then next week hopefully i can start back on the car again. Sorry guys if i have not been around, but between long shifts at work, the list and a few other things, the computer has been put on the back burner, and i did not do this to make anyone mad nor was i mad at anyone. it juswt happened. I promise there will be updates very shortly!!!!!

Later James

Thanks for letting us know your still alive up in the frozen tundra. Hey, I know exactly what you're talking about. Life hits you hard some times and a week turns into a month etc. If you don't mind, one question.....any chance you have a drawing/sketch of your roticery? I sure would like to make one. thanks,

nuke1 · 01-05-2011, 01:01 AM

i will take some measurements and pics this weekend when i clean the jungle of a garage, assuming i can find it out here, lol. it is bad, everything went out there. but clean up is sunday.

hgs_notes · 01-05-2011, 10:43 AM

Sometimes a break from a project to do other things is exactly what's needed. It gives time to think about it and maybe see it from another perspective and allow for a somewhat fresh start.

Other times, you just have too much %^(& to do and not enough time or money to do it and it builds resentment towards the things that are taking you away from what you love to do the most.

Lets hope it's more of the former than it is the latter.

Looking forward to the future updates. Stay warm dude.
