Got down to making my temporary jig for the flip up lights. @tygaboy made me the brackets on the plasma table, and they installed right in! I then used my chance to finally remove the head gear off the front of the body. I gave the hood a test fit and i wont need much/if any bump in the hood to clear the strut towers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Things have honestly gone very good lately and im working to keep the gas pressed.

I am so happy to be back! i have been so busy lately almost everything in life has been on the back burner. In December i raced my dodge again with 24 hours of lemons at road atlanta and won the Heroic fix trophy. Ill link the video down below. Then i went home for christmas for 10 days, returned to work for one day before goin go to south texas to shoot a TV show for 6 weeks. Now im finally back! And im going to start with some house cleaning (literally and figuratively).
I bought a sheridan one ish piece front end for mark at 914 and wow is this a beautiful piece! Sheridan parts have been a dream of mine for a long time. I may be still a kid to most but when i was a kid i looked up to the sheridan race cars. I also recently picked up some rear wide body panels and a couple other goodies while i was in texas and they will be here soon. Tomorrow is a day of work ive looked forward to for a long time. This should get pretty good here soon. Lemons video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oJOKdhoDLME&t=992s |

rough weekend but it was awesome. i live for the repairs, the race wouldn’t be as interesting if i came back and said: “yup we all got 2 stints, no issues” Instead i can say HOLY CRAP! look what we did! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) not saying i mean for it to happen, chaos just follows me. |

You haven't done body work until you've used a phone book and a sledgehammer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Great tube frame build! Inspiring. |

Got to work cutting out some tubing i have began to hate the look of. The tubes that go from the main chassis rail to near the shock towers got removed. Instead i will be welding in a tube that will go from the front cross bar to the shock tower. It will probably make more sense when its in so trust me this is for the best.

Great video but more importantly a great build. I like the last profile shot when you are exclaiming "I really love it". You can clearly see the 914 outline in you're tubular -should I say tubular Dude?- build. Keep up the excellent build and looking forward to more pic's n video's.
