Well I am in what I call the final stages of my build up of my PT 69 Camaro. Body work is done, subframe is in, subframe connectors welded in, Mini tubs installed, and ready for paint. So I ahd to get busy getting the remaining parts on order and after its all said and done as I sit here getting ready to send out all these Money orders, I realized "I'm crazy"!! I haev spent a huge amount of cash today. But when everything gets here I'll have everything needed to finish the car. Here is overview of what all was done

It's best to just put those thoughts out of your head.. If you start to think about how much this hobby costs you will soon be needing counseling..

Ten G's goes pretty fast.. almost scary fast..

[Hot Rod]

Addes up real FAST!! Don't it?

BUT, you will have a BAD RIDE!!

I know the feeling man. I spend that much on drugs and women a year , j/k. I had to get my own bank account, My wife would trip over the amount of cash I was spending. Glad to hear the project is coming along
