Thanks its more of a art doing it by hand then just gettgin a air hammer to do it, Plus it gives you the satisfaction of seeing all ur work pay off.
I know these are more prone to bending in front of the a arm but thats mostly the passenger side is the drivers side less prone to do this thanks.

Im not to sure about franks show his rules blow something else i called and had a little talk with him about a different car i ran awhile back he said no hardnosing no cage and some other stuff which is stupid to me, makes me not want to even run this show but its only 30 miles up the road and this would be the 4th derby and last derby of the year in florida total and 3 of the shows are his rules and the other one was just a fair tryign to get a derby. Now last year there was about 12-16 with weld rules well they pretty much went out the window becasue of the same 5 guys showing up and teaming everyone else and splitting the money. So right now im highly irritated at this show, he needs to make a good set fo rules for across the country nto let someone do this shi t at this show but wont allow it at the next. And stoney needs cars but there rules suck there hurting for cars to show up they sent my brother a free registration and entry fee for a car to run in bath or chemung ny. Sorry for the rant guys but this is what makes derbies not even fun anymore.

Well derby kid is going back to school so im gonna take over the build form here. took the body bolts out and seen what looked liek a little frame rust not bad honestly its so little i shouldnt worry about pulling the body but i did any way. I talked to frank since then sent him an email about another car i have ran before he has yet to get back to me yet but anyways go the body pulled off and i do all this with a little science and leverage. Back to the frank thing i told him what was going on he said i cant hard nose but i said the guy i bougth the car from messed his shocks up he hit a tree and all it did was compress the shocks so he needed these ones he said dotn go over board. Another thing the header rule is quite dumb he said to me guys make homeade ones and they break if there tall and not everyone can afford high dollar ones. I said i have a high dollar pair so i can run them he said no i said so i gotta buy new ones he said yup. Well what irritate sme why do you play the were trygin to save guys money but i got to buy a new set of headers. Now why dont i just cut them well a new pair of short ones are 135 or whatever a new pair of my custom ones was 180+. So done more talkgin then building but here is the pics. and this is the car im trying to let me run so i have another car i can give derby kid to get rid of. keep in mind this car has been ran but its about a hour away at a friends house in his garage to keep the motor stored in the car.

if your car survives tally maybe you could bring it over to the dothan show about a week later. heres an idea for the bumper shocks. gut the shock out and collaps it in and bolt it in place threw the frame and the collasped shockthey probably wont catch it or even say if they did. its not realy welded in place but serves the same purpose. i will be in dothan this year i was there last year and have videos on youtube under my same name i have on here. dont worry i wont be in your heat if you come i have a v6 t-bird im running this year

If all goes well didn't realize Alabama wasn't but 2 hours from where i live that is a definite possibility. Theres alot of things to still do on this car. But worst case scenario go to tally get loaded fix it for Dothan. And 2 hours is a hell of alot closer then the 4 hour one way i drove in April to Orlando FL.

any update on this car any day time pics that car looks pretty nasty is it tilted? The car thats built isnt the same car its a grand prix it was tilted. No my last one was tilted but i got crafty with the pontiac shocks i wouldnt tilt one without plating the a arms forward or doing something preventative. Ill go get some picks today i go tthe body back on and patched the floors dimpled the frame nothign to extra ordinary im going to work on it tonight get the bumper mounted hopefully. Ive lately been working on something that i came up with that ive never seen before and and gonna test it out on this car if im happy with the final product. This is the car above that was tilted
