might get me a mile or two...





with minty-fresh breath

The exhaust has never smelled better!

i got to wondering just when the car was at this stage before...you know,fitting up body sections to the frame.

this was from a post on oct 17,'10.

here's today.just about exactly one year later.

i've started taking the rest of the body shell apart-note the rear fender laying on the floor.

while still hanging from the roof,there's getting to be less and less up there.

a bit more in place...but this time stuff is more solidly attached.

where possible everything is being held with sheet metal screws till i get everything lined up properly.then the screws can come out and everything gets welded permanently.

makes for easier adjustments.

That's so awesome. Hard to believe it's been a year since then...

yah,time's sure been whipping by.maybe i'll get this thing done before i end up in an old age home.

maybe.

Is it me or is there a bit of a camber issue in the back?

And at this rate it may be pretty close to finish welding after this winter. Looking good!

it's just the picture.i have to put the camera on wide angle to get it all in the pic in this small room(no standing way back)so there's some distortion.

your take on the timeline is about what i was thinking too.

Good. This thing is going to eat rear anyways, it doesn't need any help from the camber lol.

It seems like you're pretty much there with the running gear, right? just metalwork that needs to be done?

yup.i have to get the cooling system buttoned up,and run a fuel line,but that about gets it going.some wiring,too.

there's some interior panelling to do still,and the body mods to finish,then it's paint and upholstery.

time for a challenge.


i've done something with the car.can anyone tell what?

good luck!

Looks like its been on a bit of a diet. Should be faster!

you've upset a group of midgets and they stolen the body, and drive train of the GT-12?

while i was measuring everthing to get the body panels lined up,i found a couple of minor discrepancies in the frame.

it's damned near impossible to get decent measurements with everything in place,so i figured i'd just strip it down and build a simple frame table to recheck everything.

Given your talent for understatement I'm gonna say "minor discrepancy" means half of it's not there and the other half is off by a few inches.

Or half of it's on the mainland....
