Convertible Vehicles - My build thread

Well I thought I would update you all on my build. Its currently at a stand still, since I broke my hand a few weeks ago, I should be able to finish it in the next 2-3 weeks and get it all up and running. Here is a link to my local site of the build:

hand still in brace....cant do chit yet, and Kensil still has my intake..lol

nice, i cant wait to see the finished product

thanks, me too, my broken hand has put things on hold for a bit:(

I know all about unfinished builds... my has been in "almost ready" statues for, what, two years now?!

Good luck!

lol, mines going on a year now...it sucks..lol

Yeah, i now my friend.... if it wasn't the turbo kit that took 8 months it was the FLT 4l80e that took over 3 months! And the nexus gauges was even a better story... briefly, I have the actual FIRST tach/speedo Autometer had ever built in the nexus gauges series and being the first (only) and having no real world experience, we didn't know that they didn't work AT ALL. They were shells!!!!

Funny stuff!

I hear ya, know its become all the little things that are costing me. And building a car and saving for a wedding...well you know which one wins every time. And in the middle of this whole thing, I broke my hand again. Well its been 9 weeks since I did it, and I still cant hold a wrench. Going back to the doctor tomorrow! We'll see if they want to do sugury:(

DUDE?! Get the f..... out of here... I'm also getting married in Feb. 2010 and hell yeah I know what THAT is like!!

Seriously, she can spend "HOW MUCH?!" type of money on a freaking dress that or flowers or whatever for ONE day yet I cannot slip a 500.00 bill to cover for some tires that ordered.

All i can say is that she is lucky she is hot cuz, well, .... don't want to even go there... she might be watching! (she is catching on to my online board name)

hahahaha, my wedding is next month, we had the flowers fight, I settled for $500.00 to spend on them! Fish tank is on hold, car is on hold, everything is on hold..lol, its ok though, its worth it! Although I would love to trailer my car home with me for the wedding and do a nice fat smokey burnout after I get married, but beggers cant be choosers...lol

Well, you can always do a burnout in WHATEVER your riding in... all you need is for your homies to set you up with the driver and maybe a bucket of water!

my truck does a nice burnout:D

Well we fired it yesterday, but my new motor doesnt like the tune thats in it right now. So my buddy is is writing a tune for me. So hopefully here in a couple of days I will actually be able to drive it....have to bleed the clutch once if finally fires up. Other than that, I just have to finish putting the interior back together, and a tie up a few more loose ends.

Well its finally alive!!!! Its been a long time, going straight to the alignment shop tomorrow, and will be driving my car as long as the sun is shining!!! Heres a link to a thread with some vids:
