Since TXDart was nice enough to start a happy birthday thread for me, I thought id post up some pics on what i was able get done with my day.

Since we have a 5 month old boy its hard for me to get time to go out there so I made the most of it.

Also test fit the aluminum bumper brackets that Ive been working on for a while.

First time on all 4 wheels since 2004!

Holy Schnikey's you got a lot done!!! Somehow I pictured you a little bigger, but hey, as long as you can reach the pedals!!!LOL!! I think that seat may have to be adjusted a little though!!!

Seriously though, I'm glad to hear you spent your day the way you wanted, and that the Mrs. gave you such a nice present!! The car looks great, and your young gun sure is a cutey!!! Hope you had a great day and got a nice present later too!!! Happy birthday RD, and many more to come!! Geof

What a great birthday! I got to spend two days on my car this weekend and considered it a great treat. The quality of your work makes me feel like I shouldn't post pictures when I finish. I'm working on a car that I ordered from the factory in '71 - but I'm settling for functional repairs with plans for a professional paint job after I take care of the hidden rust in the air vents and floor panels.

Car looks awesome and your boy looks right at home in that seat.

Im glad you guys like it. Its been a LONG process.

A friend of mine looked at the pic of my kid and told me it looks like he's saying "Real race cars have THREE peddles daddy, why do you only have 2"?

I modified a factory one with some Chrome-ally tubing left over from a roll cage job that I did. My oil pan is freaking huge...

[varlo]

looks great. I like the silver k frame to for some reason, it jumps out at you and shows the time you put into things a little more for some reason.

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Any new updates?

 

[Racingduster]

Any new updates?

No, to busy with the boy and keeping my daily drivers running so I can make it to work
