      48 Hour build

      I've watched on and off the building of the 67. The interviews the Chad does are ok. I was SO hoping that when the welding was happening that one would get Chad in the foot!! BUT the live chat that you can follow just proves what todays society level is at today. Kind of like going to a car show and listening to everyone trash each car for this or that. Gets really old after awhile. I'm just saying.

      I also learned a ton!! Agreed that there were alot of trash talkers baggin on some of the workers, and other stuff, but it was way cool that I felt like I was part of a build! Even my wife would crack up listening to some of the stories that were being told...and Mike Copeland just flat out is awesome!!! That guy needs his own weekly online show, or tv show!
      Thanks!!!

      On top of that, Chad did an excellent job being the "host" of the build. Made it extremely (more) fun to watch. Unfortunately, he didn't get to play with any fire. But he managed to survive with all his toes!

      I thought it was okay.... to be honest my computer had trouble keeping up with the video and the chat was bad when I was watching yesterday afternoon and I really didn't care to see a 4-wheeler being driven around a parking lot, but it is a nice car. Is there somewhere on ridetech's site that has all the specs on the car and parts?? Like wheel/tire sizes including backspacing, brake specs, engine specs......is that ridetech's triangulater 4-link in the rear?? I didn't see a full listing on Ridetech's site.

      Thanks - David

      Did the cut the hood yet?

      It was ok. I guess I just didn't tune in at the right times for the aforementioned excitement and interesting stories. :/

      I did tune in for the engine start, and the Red Chevelle, which was nice to show off some other cars during the build.

      I was hoping to see more detail shots of what people were doing, not just a camera sitting back from the car while people were leaning against it. If there was any of this real close up detail video, I apologize, but there wasn't any in the several hours I was able to watch over the 3 days.

      I like the idea of viewers being able to get in on the next build.

      Who thinks there should have been a build thread that was updated every 20 minutes or so? lol There could be a couple of people dedicated to recording the info and taking pictures to update the thread as it's being built.

      It would have been nice to be able to read off what the status is easily, and maybe even go 'see' a chapter you may have 'missed'.
      Some of the on-camera antics were a riot, and I swear one of Ride_Tech's guys looked like Chuck Norris without a beard.

      I enjoyed watching it. That's much better and more interesting than the crap that is on TV. It would have been awesome if they kept a build thread going with the video. A lot of stuff I was begging for info on while in the chat. I basically had to keep asking until Chad noticed and answered.

      I had a great time watching the build progress and shooting the S with all of the guys in the chat. Some of the conversations where worth their weight in Mur!

      On a side note, I won the "when will it be done" contest . I had the first 10:42pm guess and nailed it, now I have to wait to see what is in my "care package"....

      Big thanks goes out the build crew, you guys did a great job!
