I've been planning, scheming, surfing the web, talking and writing anyone that will listen, writing up my plan, buying Heidt's IFS, rebuilding a posi rear end, rear disc conversion, gas tank conversion, scrambling through swap meets for a steering column and waiting patiently by the door for the UPS guy to deliver all the goods. Well, I have most of what I need and unbridled ambition. So it is time.
I'll be on the business side of my tools and will periodically post pictures and my obligatory knot-headed questions seeking wisdom, opinions’ and humor.

Both happy and sad that you've reached this point...
If you get ta "Jonesin" real bad for a cruise in a "Bolt" this summer, give me a holler... I've got a "cure" that I'll let you take for a ride.
Otherwise, I guess I'll be seeing you at Car-guys "Church" on Sunday morning. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 424 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 424 | Chrome that front bumper and be done!!! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 | wow...congratulations and have fun!
