rat muscle "daisy" build

[Kern Dog]

Sorry for the bad news, Chris.
That is a bad thing to deal with. I've lost most of my family to various Cancers.....to the point where my lack of smoking-drinking-drugs are proving their worth.
I appreciate the effort you are making, changing it up to spend time with your Dad. It hurts like hell to live with the regret that you did not spend more time with a sick loved one before they go. Guilt is one thing I have a very hard time dealing with. Do what you can, while you can. With that, you'll know from now on that you made the best use of the time that you could.

Man that sucks Chris. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

It's good that you're turning your focus towards your dad's pride and joy.

Sorry to hear.....

   Feel free to post the camaro and elco pics, i'd like to see them...

[JB400]

Feel for you buddy.   You're doing the right thing though. 

[Charger-Bodie]

Family is more important. Take care of your Dad. Sorry to hear about this.

i already primed the interior metal parts before i left so i wanted to finish them. spent awhile at the mixing station coming up with a flashier version of t3 copper which is what daisy had for interior metal color. i wanted the same but with just a lil more kick and it came out nice. sprayed with light satin clear. looking forward to seeing it in the morning. sun was already down and was cloudy when i finished spraying. wanna see how it looks in sunlight. will look nice with my tan interior

[Kern Dog]

Hey... where is the VIN tag ??   

[cbrestorations]

daisy is a right hand drive, the vin tag is on the other side, those are just accessory holes lol. i sold a roadrunner about 9 months ago and knocked $500 off the cost of the car because the guy had a spray chrome setup at his shop. i wanted all the chrome redone in daisy including the dash bezels. well 9 months later he still hasnt done them and has no plans to do them he said. so now i have to go get my shit and tell him he owes me $500 which i know im not gonna get back.

Well...daisy has to get put on the back burner, not gonna make Mopar show in Vegas or this year probably...sucks but I've gotta work on my dad's cars. He just got hit with cancer and hard. Wants to drive his camaro and elco before he dies. I'm sure I can still put some hrs in on it here and there. I really want my car done too but I still have time on my side. Sucks to see a tough guy get put to his knees in a matters of weeks

awww no sorry to hear this CBR .......

Best wishes man! Seriously the best medicine is POSITIVITY! Surround him with laughter and love. This coming from a guy who has been in remission since 2013. It changes your outlook on life for sure. I would not be here had it not been for the family closest to me that was there for every chemo, and friends that kept me laughing.

Good job on that color match. 

Looks good in the pictures. Bet it looks better in person.

so i finally got a bellhousing to mount the jerico behind the 6.1, i was up till 4am getting that thing in the car, i was not going to bed untill i could sit in the seat and grab the shifter. im gonna have to cut the whole tunnel out of the car because of the 2.5" ride height and i wanted the engine and trans level otherwise with the conversion motor mounts it sits in the car at a down hill 3.5 degree slope. had to take one of the new pistol grips and cut it down to the height i liked. i also striped the interior parts so i could start cericoating the roll bars. then i could get the stock interior back in it. it will have a headliner, carpet, stock door panels, stock dash, console and kick panels

[cbrestorations]

had fun at the woodley park mopar show on saturday, i left that afternoon to come home and try to knock out a trans tunnel. its all mocked up being screw'd together. just gotta weld it together now

[Kern Dog]

I sure wish I had sheet metal skills like that. Nice work. Did you take classes to learn or work with a seasoned metal fabricator?

[67Charger440]

Hey, it was good meeting you Saturday.  Here's a better pic of the Challenger I was showing you on my phone...

[Kern Dog]

Wow, you are really tall. Judging by the angle of that shot, you must be 9'11" at least.

[Lighthorseman]

Wow, you are really tall. Judging by the angle of that sot, you must be 9'11" at least.

...or only 8'7" if wearing those cool "Kiss" boots.   

[Kern Dog]

Ha ha...Those were cool, huh ?
