Run!!!!!!!!!! Take your time. A straight car is worth the money and will save you money in the end. Promise.

Dude. Your going to have to track it down, while it is smoking, for any one to give you a diffinative answer. Wheel bearing? Ask your self stuff like..does it smoke while sitting? Or after its driven? Start eliminating. Jack it, check it, look around.

Pick up some flat magnets at the hobbie store. They are great for holding your patches flush with the existing sheet metal. Go with gas (MIG). Flux core is for fences!

I purchased a "how to" paint book so that my prep work would be compatable with modern techniques. The first twenty five pages was on the history of paint finishes! A layman needs the what, why, and how to. Perhaps a "system" book would be in order. A book that explains a certain paint philosophy from prep to finish. The book that I have did get me to where I needed to be but, I had to fish around quite a bit. Vids would be great. One could get a feel for the "motion" of the art. How bout a book that also contains a DVD? hmmmm

Nice shot. Glad to see you might have a crack at getting to normal. What ever that is. Have a great Friday!

Hey just curious. Not familiar with the term "splash off of a plug". Is that a one off mold made from a donor auto. Or a mold of an auto used for one offs? And, I get the impression from their so called "inventory", that the later (vendor use) would be my pick. Pardon my knuckle dragging ways...

Because of the camp that it is comming out of.....TT SBC!

I purchased all of the majors in advance. New trans, coil overs, eng swap kit, radiator, seals and such. Still spending on the drive train. Clutch kit is next. Letting her go to paint as we speak. And I expect that quote to rise. I had a budget of 6k and have kept the receipts. Dead positive that I will bust the budget with the purchase of new glass. Rods....arn't they fun!

Thanks Keep us posted. At least keep me posted!

Excellent. Sounds like a good way to go. As I had interjected earlier, with respect to racing teams, There is always a program, and a head of program. Thoes that wish to participate do so. I personally have not heard of a "democratic" race team. Doc. Are you going to start a race build thread/forum for thoes that wish to join? With help, do you think that next summer is a possibility?

Lets put it this way. Is anyone going to be upset if a group of members is supporting a Hybrid Z car in a positive fashion? Would it detract or enhance the content of Hybrid Z?

First off, let me say that I have been through this like you did. I did as you did, so dont think I am being an ass. You certainly seem like a decent person so I can assume that you arent an ass either. Yes, when you passed the "gater" on the right, harmlessly, it was the "trigger". He was so intent on making the person in the left lane, which is the fast lane so it must have belonged to him, move over,teach a lesson about riding in "his" lane. He was pissed that you had snuck pass him in his intent to teach the other guy. Then it was your turn. Simply that. It is natural to be pissed. Hitting your brakes, downshifting so as not to trigger your brake lights. Yea, that will calm him down!! The second you started the brake check is where you stepped into the wrong zone. Put it this way, every one knows that pedestrians have the right of way right? Basic traffic law. Step out infront of a speeding maniac as a pedestrian...your dead right of way or not. Yes? You would be in the right, but you would be dead. You may have had the right to be pissed, but not the right to elevate the situation. If you dont want to play that way, bring a gun, soon you will need it. Promise.
