Default Here is what I did on Thanksgiving (pics)

My brother in law is building this car and needed some help. It took a good 4 days but it is coming along. You just kind of have to think about the final product.

I always look at the ads in the magazines for these frames. I think I would like to have this type of drive train under mine also. He is building a great ride. Make sure to keep us posted on his progress. It looks like you steered him in the right direction.

The frame is built like a tank. Very solid. Had to do some cutting on the body to get it to fit but there is going to be nothing on this car that is correct so who cares. It is just going to be a ride. He is probably going to put on a blower also for a little more power.

Default Come on Gordon you didn't help, you played on the tractor digging up my yard!

Always different to "carve up " your car instead of a turkey! Gordon and I have been wrenching cars together for over 20 years...from 69 and 70 Z/28's, 69 Indy Pace car Camaro to Corvettes. Gordon and I have developed a tag team production capability that really works. He is a blast to work with and contributes a great deal of help Rest up Gordon, the plane ticket will be coming as soon as the body comes back from body work!

The SRIII frame is all tubing. Not one thing original on it. Which one are you using?
