More updates.
So I have gotten behind on my updates. so I am trying to catch to the present. Last week the wife and a friend of drove out from Tucson to catch the HB cruise in. We had an awesome time looking at beautiful cars and just a great time relating at the beach. When we rolled in to the shore break hotel they valet the Jeep and we went to check. Came down to the garage and they had put the Jeep in the reserve parking for the Factory Five guest. while getting our bag we ran into a few guys with there cars for the show. I was hoping to run into Ken Pike (AKA Streetrod painter) so we could talk about the progress on my body. and low and behold it was Ken his girlfriend and a few others from northern Cali. They had four beautiful cars that were painted by Ken and his team. One car had been in an accident just two weeks prior. and you could not tell looked beautiful. Ken brought down a freshly painted MK3 in a gorgeous 2007 Toyota Tacoma Blue. We stood around talking about cars and what not for an hour. Once again after seeing his work I cant wait till he is done panting the Rocket. Weekend was great except it made me want to get home and work on the car. We will definitely be out at Huntington Beach next year.
As you can see the panels came back from the powder coater and are starting on. Here is the firewall with the heater plenum attached.

Update on our progress
Hey Sailor,
I"m sorry for not keeping this thread updated. When photobucket pulled their crap it made keeping up this thread nearly impossible to keep up. We finished the car in Oct of 17. It took us 10 months to complete. And since that date we have put about 8000 miles on the Rocket and won multiple car show. Our biggest one was taking runner-up Best Cobra at Huntington Beach this year. I have also started a business for building car and repairing cars for people. We are also selling a few of the mods that we put on our car. Here are a few pics. If you want to see more let me know. So I still can't load pictures on here any more!!!! So please check out my Website. 520Speedworks.com, Facebook 520Speedworks, or Planecrazy1976. As for retirement I still have a couple of years left.
Thanks for checking in.
Greg
