"Bout (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) time. JK ya, Doug. I know you been drug thru the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) these past 2 years. I believe that all of us Suby converts wanted to help you. Some of us just live too far away. The experienced eye can see that there is still an awful lot of work to be done but your with an experienced person now so things will move right along. Keep in mind what Chris said. Everything he rushed he's had to redo. Good to see you back at it. Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks for the encouraging words guys. Going over the car with Scott, I realized how far I've really come with this thing. And also how far I have to go. Like he said though: "all the right parts are here." So I guess I did something right after all!

Having a proper engineer finish off the important bits is going to be key. The last thing I want is a shoddily built 350hp go-kart!

Good to see you back! We are both in the same place. Need experts to finish/tidy up bits. Keep the faith and you will have a rocket soon!

One wheel burn outs = not cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Scott has an LSD in the Porsti, and he roasts his tires on a regular basis. One of your tires is almost equal to two if his.

Of course this now goes the other way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Scott you need flares or slicks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Ill bring up my DVD on 914 flare shaping, my palm nailer, a buffed carriage bolt and we can make our ears ring worse than a Spinal Tap Concert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) my palm nailer goes to 12 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Stephen...the day I can't blow up the rear tires from a 40mph roll is also the day I start yearning for a really spendy engine/turbo upgrade. I'll get to see how Doug's car is with proper rear tires and then do flares on the Porsti this winter.

Leave your palm nailer at home, we'll just need the epoxy gun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

Cheers,
Scott

Getting ready for a big move tomorrow, so I put tires on her and dropped her to the ground for the first time in 3 years!

More pics and info tomorrow after I get her in the sunlight and on a trailer.

The A-pillar/firewall of the old rusty cab. I left all of the parts on the old cab while I was shortening the frame and installing the new cab. Now I need to swap everything over.

No idea where it is going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) But can't wait to see it tomorrow. Unfortunately it involves work.

Grey Matter made it safe and sound to its new home for the next few months.

Spent a couple of hours clearing out he loose parts and random other stuff while putting a plan together.

So much better!

Also ,sorting out some of the parts I am likely to use.

Lots of good parts to work with, so much cutting and welding to get them to work together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
