[Lygdman]

love it!

Coming down to the end on the back half of the car.just won these brake ducts for the rear.Really cool because they just hose clamp on to the 3" axle tube and are carbon fiber,they weigh nothing.$34{old nascar parts.}Ron

[ill steez]

those are really cool! where would we be able to find something like that?

[Ron S]

I think, new these things are like $275.I got these off ebay,they are used nascar parts.I was going to use a peice of 3" exhaust tubing for fabbing up brake vents,but for $34,I figured what the hell.Ron

[dropit69]

hey Ron got an idea of how much you have in it so far?..and take a week off to come help me with mine ..you kick some major ass on things..wow

[Ron S]

I really haven't spent any money on the car{other then the brake ducts}in quite a while.I should be some where around $6300.00.I just can't get any time to work on the thing,just 15 minutes here and 30 minutes there.I will post a list of what was spent when the car is done,there has been a little cheating here and there,but other then a few trades,its all been frugal shopping,and lots of labor.WAY TOO MUCH LABOR.Ron

[PARKERRS]

Now, now Ron, it's supposed to be a labor of love LOL.

I hope you are doing well and can make it back down to RTTH. Not planning on breaking next time and you need to take my car for a few laps around the track.

It appears that you have a set of Speedlines on that thing. I missed a set with a GM spacing a few months ago and have been looking for a set since then. Where did you get them?

[Ron S]

Hey Payton,I actually got the wheels off Ebay.The guy guy I got them from had 10 sets left at that time,but I would amagine that they are all gone by now.I paid $900 for the set.I turned David Sloan on to them,I think he bought 2 or 3 sets of them,maybe he'd consider getting off a set.Did you get any bites on your car?real bad time to be selling!Ron

[Ron S]

Had to pull the belly pan and tail panel off one last time before final welding.Didn't think about the fact that with the belly pan installed and the cars low ride height,it would make it near to impossible to strap the car down on the trailer.So I had to fab some brackets that attach to the frame.The car won't run any bumpers.so it will have tow strap loops in place of the bumper brackets.Should be nice to strap down,I won't even have to crawl under the car.I will do the same in the front.Ron

[Ron S]

Tail panel back on and toe hooks fabbed and installed.Hope I never get rear ended,this thing is a truck.Ron

[dropit69]

plan on pulling cars out of the ditch with that tiedown..holy crap..lol...car is looking good..

[Ron S]

I don't want it to fall off.Gotta build out of whats laying around,I did have to go in and drill a bunch of holes in the inner brackets to lighten them up.Ron

[PARKERRS]

Now thats what I call heavy duty right there, I don't care who you are. ( In a Larry the cable guy voice) LOL

Nice Work, I have been watching this thread and then my brother got a 66 Mustang so now Im looking at what you have done to make it to where you can fit more then a 235 under the back of these cars.. :D

[Ron S]

Yeah big Tars are cool.Ron

[Young Gun]

such a badass build...

[Restomod]

You have inspired me to start my own $5000 budget build. I am collecting parts now....(incert EVIL haugh here!) Build thread coming soon.

[Ron S]

Cheap=Fun. LOL
I think I'm going to start some body work,and put a weekend scratch and squirt on it.Any ideas on color?The hood and tops of the fenders are going flat black.

[Young Gun]

since your doing the budget build you gotta do a budget paint... the 50 dollar roller job... or spray...
