72 Scamp and 440 Work in Progress

I agree with the below responses, your car is baddass and you should be very proud!! My Valiant was built using parts that I got on sale, ebay, or used parts, nothing big $, just did what I wanted and I am proud of my work so far. When I started talking to you in chat more Josh, you told me you never built a car before, or never had even driven a V8 car, after hearing this, I went through your entire build and was blown away by your skills and the work you have done!!! You accomplished alot and when it's done you will have a big grin on your face!!! I enjoy reading your new updates, and was excited to hear your car run, keep up the good work buddy!!!

Your right Louis! I guess I missed the part about building a BB car and it had to be a racer. Most the parts that came my way were used and just happen to fit the bill so i built the car around those! I'm damn proud of what ive got. Tearing it up to race isnt economical for me. Sure someday it would be fun to have a drag car but money and time wont allow for that.

Hearing stuff like this really irks me... I just can't understand why some people feel the need to be jerks. I never got the impression you were building a race car here. I figured it was your intention to build something cool, fun, with bad *** and attitude written all over it. And in my opinion your succeeding nicely! You should be proud of what you've accomplished. Don't let a few bad apples sour the experience for you. A poser you are not. Someone following their vision and building what makes them happy, you are!
