IT RUNS! Well is starts, shakes, and leaks a bit of oil. So if that is running then this thing is top notch

How's this? Now it is with a 2" body lift so drop the back down about 2" or so to see how it would fit in a stock Bradley. Thats a cool setup

Great Idea!, I'm in Boynton during the winter and would love to come. I'm hoping to have my twoie with me and the thought of a get-together is awesome! There are a few errors in the wording of your website, I know you just started it so at some point when you flesh it out more, you could use a proof-reader. I like your concept of having the broad base of categories, there are a lot of eccentrics living in FL with some great creations! Looking forward, count me in Mike Horen Hey Mike, I usually work on my personal sites late in the evening after doing 10-12 ours in the track office, so grammar is all over the place.

Ok so here is what I am thinking kitcarshows.com/ This is the site of the show. The date is Feb of 2012. Great time of the year for you northerners to head to Orlando I would love if some of you guys would go through the site and see if there is anything missing, or maybe something that would be a good addition.

After my 13th GT2, 1 Jaguar SS100, a Berry Mini T, a Mini T clone and a manx buggy, and a mini t 4...A Saturn Sky, Ford Expedition and a Harley Electra glide Classic...I have determined that there is no such thing as an addiction...only a strong desire to die with more toys than anyone else... ;D HAHAHAHA

Well I ran into something I did not expect tonight. Yellow Gelcoat? The front of the car is loaded with what appears to be a filler/bondo of some kind. Here is a photo... I am a little confused because everything to the rear is metal flake. Also on the hood the first spot I started sanding did not appear to have any hint of gelcoat. It just went right to fiberglass. You can see the spot above the yellow... I have the frame build to get the body in the air and I will do it tomorrow. I am curious to get underneath it because as someone pointed out maybe it is a bradley rear with a front of something else

The car I recently purchased has rims and tires from an 1984 corvette. Tires are a 255/50-16 . I have not taken them off yet to see if they have any spacers or anything. Unless someone has installed 4 wheel disk brakes {with the Chev pattern} or had blank drums drilled for the Chevy bolt pattern, you will have wheel adapters that will shift your wheels out about 1" on each side. I have not even bothered to look. It would be nice if it had disc brakes

More sanding going on ... As far as the color goes it looking like I am going to do the GM Synergy Green from the new Camaro. I think it will look insane

Do not go through the metal flake. Thats in the gelcoat which you want to preserve as long as it is stable. That is what I thought. Well it made painting the inside easier as they did not paint it when they painted the car. Still has all of the metal flake in it.

Well I did a little sanding today The car was painted sometime ago and while sanding I went through the top coat, some primer, and then got to some metal flake paint. Should there be something else under there, or is it even necessary to go past the metal flake paint?

I do remember someone had a tractor trailer full of molds at one time. They looked in pretty rough shape
