Two40MuscleZ Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 When I returned home this afternoon I had found an E-mail from Owen, telling me that my car was published in this months issue of Super Street. Apparently, they were at the Queen Mary/JCCS last October and snapped a shot of my ride. Although, this is not the first time the “Orange Crate†has been published, it was the first “American Publication†in a major magazine. I was very flattered. BUILD UPDATE: One week following the JCCS, I managed to shear off a set of springs on the clutch and lunched my throw-out bearing into the fingers of the pressure plate. So, now was the time to upgrade to a Weir Hydralic Throw-out bearing, and race bellhousing. Along with this a CenterForce Dual Friction Racing Clutch, Pressure plate and Flywheel. With the engine out it opened up other challenges, so I smoothed out the inner fenders of all lap joints and spot welds. Primed and painted the engine bay. Renovated the old wiring and made a new one piece firewall. Last but not least, I had my headers Jet Hot coated to finish off the last detail on my engine. Hopefully, next week I will reinstall the engine and tranny, button things up, finish detailing a few last exterior body areas, and finally finish the paint. All this weather permitting. I will post PICS once I finish the paint. Thanks Owen for the heads up…good looking out! VAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two40MuscleZ Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Naviathan: I didn't know you were a Kinesthetic person...one who needs pictures to visually understand! I know it's nice to have accompaning PICS, and it does make for a better presentation...but, most of the "original" Hybrid guys know me and the quality work I produce. "In progress" shots are all good and fine and buffer towards a finished piece. However, most Artists, Builders and the like don't reveal their project unit it is completed. Currently, I have 3 builds underway. All are Old School Hybrid MuscleZ cars. So, when the time is right, you'll see the unvailing. Until then, visualize and be patient.
