maichor Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Unless you have had the experience, it is hard to imagine the excitement of those few moments when the beast comes alive! Congrats man. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustrocket Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 I wasnt able to get it on video, but i took my dad for a ride around the block today. He's the whole reason i built this car, and today was his last day before back home to peru (he called this his farewell tour). I had no radiator, just a ghetto return pipe from water pump back into itself. My dad was holding the gauges, and i had no seat belts or gear shift knob, and we were sorting out electrical gremlins between starts Regardless, took it down the street, gave it a little gas and the whole thing threw us back in our seats. Drove around the block, and on the way back, at 2nd gear and probably about 15-20 mph (no speedo) i punched it. The whole car pitched sideways and moved over half a lane before i eased off and turned back onto my street. My dad said he was looking for the rear of the car to come in front of him. It needs a few things, but it's pretty much there! All this work is finally paying off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I just keep looking at your build with shear delight, and absolutely can not wait for a proper video of this beast. I instantly associate your project with the rat fink logo, smoke billowing out the back and all. Looking forward to finally of this build....
