Tim Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Just wanted to see what you all think of my new "baby". Lots of work polishing that stuff up, but well worth it. I had it rebuilt from top to bottom, started on it in January. I am trying to get this cramp out of my cheeks from smiling all the time.

lbeaver087 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 very nice tim , but do you plain on driving it or driving it on a trailer . that is alot of work you have done good luck keeping it that way while driving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I will drive it, weather permitting of course. I don't want to trailer it really. When I started working on it, I wanted to be able to drive it as much as I want and not have a trailer queen. I just wont drive it in the rain. I still have to finish up the engine bay (welding new panels, hiding all the wires etc...), which I will hopefully be painting this weekend. Thanks for the compliments. Tim I plan on showing it as much as possible, I will send it in the some magazines a little bit later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I finally finished welding the engine bay up a few days ago and today I had it sprayed. Sorry for the quality of the pics, but my camera flash was just bouncing off of the black and the picutures did not come out that great. I will take some more of the it in the sun soon. You get the idea... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 tim ,looks real good . im supriesed base housing didnt get on you for painting in housing . I don't live in base housing, I own my house in Niceville. The engine bay was painted in a "home made" spray booth at my buddies house. Took about 1 hour to seal, 2 base coats and 3 coats of clear. Now the easy work or putting it back together. More pics to come... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 thats cool it just looked like base where the car was sitting at Although, they are building some really nice houses on the base with 1 and 2 car garages, but yes, they would freak out if you even thought about changing your oil in the driveway. We have a really nice auto-hobby shop on base, but it would have costed me loads of money to do it there. Nice place though... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
