Starting my update for the build-off.....
This one has been going on too long - Looks like the last update was 6 years ago - Yikes! Here's a recent photo of me and the car.... And the original first image for this post on the bottom. I have been participating in 914 events and on the boards for more than a few years now, although only posting a few times a week... There are a few of the contingent from the Texas group and from the MUSR's that have accused me of not having a car at all.... Including Clay and James West.... So, just to make it clear that a car does actually exist, even though it be on jackstands... Here is Bullit in my driveway... Notice in one of the pics the Suburban that I auto crossed I will post additional photos of the progress as things move along, but keep in mind I have had this tub over This post has been edited by dakotaewing: Nov 1 2015, 01:21 PM Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

My alterations to the Brad Maurer kit...
The bottom long is how it came from Brad - The top long is after I got done with them - I added a signififcant number of holes for additional plug welds - Including at the top to attach the sill plate - I found that the zinc weld through primer did not do a very good job of letting me weld through - so I used a the little peel and stick dots to keep primer from the areas that were to receive the plug welds...
