Take the money.. buy the wife somthin shiny for her silence and patience for the next project build.
I think we all do what we do for the love of building it ourselves so why not do it again???

I Agree!

Keep it... at least until I have a chance to see it in person!

[Damn True]

After all the trials and tribulations of building that car I could not let it go without first driving the pi$$ out of it at every auto-x and track event I was able to get to.

Just my $0.02 but I am building mine so I can drive it, not so I can start again on building another.

Hey Steve, What are the dimensions of the fuel cell? Thanks!

[skatinjay27]

it will be like your blue one then. sold it before you could trully enjoy it.

No, I would have far more green in my pocket. lol


Hey, I don't plan on selling the car. I have zero plans to put it "for sale"... I have all sorts of plans to drive the hell out of it.

But...

In the end it's a car and if an amount was offered that was a "one time" deal then I would be foolish to dismiss it. I have a family and a mortgage.

I really don't forsee selling the car. I sold the blue car because it wasn't what I wanted, Penny is exactly what I want.

So lets all think happy thoughts of apexs and off track excursions (resulting in no damage of course ;) )

I will get that for you.. It's an 18 gallon Sportsman cell. I would have gone 22gal but my rear frame rails are narrowed.

Same here, I'm tired of building, ready to drive.


But, if someone offered you enough you would sell, and you know it. ;)

In other news I guess I'm commited to having my car in Wilwood's booth!



I didn't know they were doing this until this flyer show up at work. The pressure!!! :willy:

Eric Thornson (does all the interiors for Steve Strope) has been busy on my interior. I wanted something that looked simple and OEM.

He is doing the carpet in a "small loop" that just a tighter version of the factory carpet and the door panels are in a black leather that has a grain pattern to match the dash pad. The main reason was to delete the arm rest areas since my door bars are my arm rests. He is also covering some of the cage bars in the same leather.

Here's the door panel he fabbed out of aluminum. He likes it better than cardboad since it keeps his shape and wont tear if removed. He should be done by this Saturday.

I agree with you Steve.
It is just a car (albiet a VERY nice car).
However, if someone wants to step up with the right number it would be IMHO foolish to pass on a great offer..
And to be honest your car is hot right now. You will more than likely have people breathing down your neck at SEMA.
Obviously it is best to sell when the car is at its peak in terms of exposure and interest.
The hot rod car industry reminds my of my single days.
The fun was in the chase. Once you are successfull in reaching your "goal". You start wanting to go onto the next dream.
Please do not interpret this to mean that I don't LOVE driving my cars because I do. But I like the adventure as well.

make sure he sticks some Dynomat on the back of that panel or the rattle is going to drive you nuts!

Yea, he knows. The leather deadens it as well.

[jknight16]

Hmmmm....those door panels have my mental wheels turning now...that might be something for this fool to venture into trying. By the third try I might just get it close to right

[Steve1968LS2]

The interior is almost done.. Eric Thornson did the carpet, the back seat blockoff and he covered many of the cage bars in leather.

I also installed the G2X Rackpak GPS track computer. It's coming along nicely. All he has to do now if finish the door panels. They will have an OEM retro look. He does very good work, in fact the other car he's working on for SEMA is Steve Strope's Torino.



Here are the panels. They will incorporate the factory CAMARO emblem and won't have arm rests due to my door bar. There will be a pull tap to close the door (you can see it in the first picture).

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

man that interior is serious lookin.. i like the door leaches..

[Code Red]

I think I just creamed my keyboard

[monza]

I think the right "sold" number would be more like 200G, then your about at the same cost Dale Jr. had to pay at DSE for his ride. At that price, you could sell it and be happy. Anything less your selling it short. If you don't get that... drive it! It is really one of the nicest examples of a PT car out there, you had better drive it no matter what, sale or no sale.
Looking forward to seeing it in SEMA.

SWEEETT!!!!
