NEWBIE

Post by lar4400 »

Hey all, new to the site. :smt006 As a registered user anyway. I'll get my profile set up soon with location, cars etc. anyway I'm located in Grants Pass Oregon, Daily driver is a 68. I horse traded for this car and a parts rig filled with all kinds of parts and trash. took two weeks to go through it all and sort it all out and three months to get her up and going, including bodywork and paint. Yes, there is some obssesive disorders involved. (If I wouldnt hear about it later, I'd probly sleep in the shop to cut travel time, It's 50 feet of waisted time) :shock: Thanks to Ebay and this site, she runs, with very few gremlins. Awsome little cars. Can't go anywere without getting stopped by someone trying to figure out what the hell it is though. I'll update with project pics later. Thank you all for being here and thanks to the site people for creating this relm of roadsterism.. Lee (lar4400)

OK, thanks for the pics, but I think you need some description or timeline with them - The silver (end result?) looks good.
Love the frame support in your body-off shot. :-)

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the hospitality when I came by. I called and talked to your Dad on my way back through. He said you were out. It was a very good score. Now I don't know which on to fix.

Hey Steve, It was good talking with you. I Emailed you a little while after that, but didn't hear back. Good to here it was a score.. heeehaaaaw!!! I decided to start working on the other body.. louvering the hood, shaving everything clean.. still up on saw horses, but now infront of the shop.lol... been driving mine, had to change out and mod the needles in the carbs.. running like a cat on fire now.. I'm amazed how these little 1600's pull.. of couse the car doesn't weigh much. nice to hear from you. If ya hear of anymore scores up my way, let me know. I'm kind of obsessed now....Lee.
