Build Thread My 1986 T-top Build - Lasting Memories

[bird_dog0347]

Very cool man, how much progress have you made?

Check out my build thread, updated a few hours ago. I've got it torn down to the point I'm about ready to open it up, but have plans to go out with the family tonight so had to stop. Hopefully tomorrow I can pull the stock heads and cam and start prepping for doing a PTV check.

That color is outstanding Dave. Looks like glass.Great job. Your dealership is going to get flooded with fox bodies very soon lol

It's a dodge dealership, but I'm fine with that!

Holy sh*t Dave, that looks awesome! Now I am itching to see it assembled. You should find a way to ghost in a bunch of your favorite beer labels into the paint on the underside of the hood, lol. I mean, I feel it would be fitting.

You know Nick......you may have something there.......not a bad idea, you know.....

If they just still made beer cans out of steel, you could guess what my mini-tub would look like.

It's obvious you not only take pride in your work but your years of experience show in all your pictures . I'm always liking stuff and not always voicing my opinion but let me tell you - your work speaks for itself . This car is going to be killer .

Ok,. And last but not least, it's my turn. it is beautiful. A testimonial to why people who "can't" should pay somebody who "can". ( hell, even some of the people who can, should)

I'd call it perfect from the pics, a level that I'll never attain on anything I'm doing on the monster.

Good job Dave, you made it look easy.

I'm still here for the remainder of the hour. I don't know why they even have the show, all people wanna do is jump in, and out of the cars, and pose for a pic in front of the I-8

Smells like olives and beer farts in here.

Hate to lose this sticker, but I got to paint this. I'll document it here:

That brings up a good question: is there any good way to save all the door jamb stickers/plaques? Would love to be able to keep mine / put them back when I go to paint mine.

Might not be the greatest quality, but you could prob take a pictures of the stickers, do some computer magic and print it. I know that LMR sells some of the basic stickers.

Oh dear lord Mike! That looks pretty dang good.

If you're serving that at the BMW booth, I'll head out for Birmingham tomorrow!

 

[CarMichael Angelo]

That was a vanillaphant porter, and some really nasty apple flavored crown.

But that was then,....


This is now.
