:lol:Funny you should mention that, Thomas. Today was a day of reflection, of sorts, for me. I have really been taking my time (due to money) on this build and I realised today that I was REALLY starting to pour a lot of stress and pressure on myself all of a sudden. Yea, having what I have now, I was getting the "itch". The sudden need to "Hurry up and get her done!!!". In my past, this has lead to failure and disappointment. Not wanting to do either, I'm going to get back on the path that I started. I'll get the things I need, that will make the body go in smooth and easy, first. The shifter, gas tank stuff and the steering column. I may not put them on, I just want to have them ready. In the meantime, I'll be stting aside the bucks for the body. I may even take up Brian on Totals layaway plan to keep on track and secure the price. I feel a price increase coming. In a nut shell, I may not have my body until about March:sad: or even April
. And that is if Total has one ready to ship immediately, which I kinda doubt.
I'm a lot futher on my build than I anticipated and that is a great feeling. I've done a lot of planning and research all the while. My gut is telling me to slow down and go back to what got me where I am now. It will come, when it comes.
Of course, I have a date tomorrow with my "well to do" girlfriend. I may wear my pouty face and begging pads. Hey, I have plenty of pride to spare.
On a tech note, I did decide on the '28/'29 chrome grill shell. My main problem was with the hieght of it. It seems to run about 29" length. It will fit, but the clearance to the ground was not to my liking. So, I'm going to cut it to fit and fab a nice metal plate to go between the shell and the front spring plate. I'll paint it to match my chassis and secure it with chrome button head bolts. This will do 3 things:
1. It will hide where I cut the shell at and make it look more finished.
2. I can run the wires for my lights under that panel.
3. I can attach my signal lights to that panel.
4. I could pin stripe it and paint the name of my car on it.
I also found a new logo for my car today!:lol: Meet the new........
