I finally made it, my roadster should be here next week. I received my rear axle Thursday now I just need the rest of the car :cool:. I've been planning this for 25 years and my grandkids are very excited about this also. This is a family project.
My granddaughters both have champagne test on beer budget all about the flashy things they are in charge of the appearance color etc this should be interesting.
Oldest grandson 12 years of age is like he'll on wheels on steroids probably knows more about cars and mathematics the any 12 year old I've ever come across.
Youngest Grandson is 11 very methodical everything's very planned out organized wants to be an engineer very good at solving problems puzzles building models etc. I can only hope this project will and will incourage there talents and spend time off there electronic devices:cool: looking forward to getting to know many of you through my build. Thank you in advance for your support.

No frills all business took advantage of sale to help get started. So here are my plans, let's start with business end 427 long block stroker from Prestige the rest I will acquire at summit racing including tkx 5-Speed. Engine bay all black red accents, all aluminum will get truck bed liner coated both sides this sho help keep things looking cleaner no polishing aluminum. Paint K136 Midnight is brandywine kandy mixed with a blue pearl, creating a purple-red color where the blue pearl will come out in the light and the color flops to almost black in the shadow. With black metallic roll hoop and accents sidepipes black ceramic coated.
