    I lost my best friend last night. He opened a Texaco repair station in 1965. He was my mentor and my teacher. He has gone home to be with the lord. He was so proud of the car. I will see you again dad.

    Well it has taken a few weeks but I ventured out to a car show today. I decided to go to a show that I have always wanted to go to. The problem was that it was 4 hours away. So many packed up and left at 5:30am. Had a great time.

    Started to smooth out the body. My wife hates the smell of body work. I told her it smells like aftershave to men!

    Dave,
    Did you have any trouble fitting Eric's hitch with your 4 link?
    Reason I ask is Eric said he wasn't sure it would fit with the 4 link & I also have a 4 link & am planning on a Hitch.

    thanks,
    Nevin

    Hi Nevin
    If you look at the photo with the 2x4 you can see the saddle connection has a space of 3/4 inch. My plan is to cut off the saddle and put a 3/4 inch spacer that will run the full width of the hitch. My plan is i can bolt the saddle and use a carriage bolt to attach the hitch to the frame via the 3/4 spacer.i also made the receiver to long and it sticks out past the fiberglass. I hope to have it fixed by Friday. I will post more photos. Hope this helps.

    To bad you can not brace the hitch. With the twisting pull on frame i would keep an eye on it.

    Hello everyone the weather is getting better so I am sure you are all itching to get out. I had a problem with clearance of the engine to the hood. I have always admired the ZR1 Corvette. I have decided to cut the hood of the hot rod and insert the ZR1 hood window. This is the first step.

    This is what I want it to look like after.
