Big Bertha is here.

That is the plan. Need to get some miles under her to make sure.

It's coming along!   

I think you and the family should try about a 950 mile trip, in a southenly direction.

I'm not much into all the bumper has going on so with Aryans help we changed it around a bit.
Before:



After:

We was sitting around and I had told Earl sometime this week we would yank the bumper to get rid of some of the bling, bling. Earl left and Aryan ask me about the guards. He said he could do it. I said I wonder what size bolt they are. He tells me they are 3/4". He didn't even look at the bolt. I grinned and told him if he wanted to take them off go ahead. He was right about it being 3/4 by the way. If he liked his school work as much as working on cars he would be working at NASA some day.

Aryan stripped the back down that night too.
Before:


After:

Still wanted to clean up more of the do dads. So I used the surround for the front plate and put it on the back. This let me get the tag and huge lights off the rear.

The plate stuck out and looked funny. I rolled it around a piece of 4" PVC to follow the bumper.


Later on the bumper guards will come off too. We moved them over for now to hide the splits for the 3 piece bumper. The splits will be welded up and ground smooth, someday.

All those old gaurds and stuff looked pretty neat. Some Lowrider would probably pay a fortune for all the iron.

Looking very good! Nice to see it's out and about. What are the remaining areas that need immediate attention? How are the brakes, wipers and blower motor?

Ton of stuff to do. Too much to list. I just keep hacking away at it little by little.

Today we lowered the rear.

She one color yet?

Still need a ton of bodywork but got it's all primered out for the run on the 9th. Just trying to get the bugs worked out of it so I can drive it down.

Yuck!



Aryan scrubbed up the hubcaps.





We drilled a couple holes and added some bullets.

Home made wide whites.


Little primer..


Little paint..

Today:

Really looks terrific, Steve! The black and purple makes for a striking combination.

Thanks Lee.

Looking good brother.

She looks good, the skirts look good on her too.  

She's looking cool. Great work on the skirts.
