    Ron did you have a senior moment while welding?

    Nice project.

    Naw, that's Jeffrey. I'm the guy taking the pictures. Jeff Young was also over ambling about with Ed the Dog but didn't have pics of either of them.

    Not a senior moment, that was sparks burning the top of my head. The senior moment happen several years ago when I decide to build a Z car rather that by a built and running race car.

    All good stuff you guys. I am just jealous that you are outside working on race cars and although it was 50 today the weather supposed to turn into the teens at night this week.

    Keep the pics coming of the project.

    Thinking of painting it orange with either white stripes down the side like this or white racing strips running over the hood and roof.

    Any other ideas for color are welcome, I am talking to the painter tomorrow.

    Ohhh crap!!! This is giving me nasty flashbacks to our rebuild from this past summer! I just did get the scent of metal grindings and argon out of my system. That's looking good Jeff, and congrats. Doing a z won't feel like a senior moment once you're out on track. That cage looks good. Did you guys do it?? Has some similarities to our cage. I keep meaning to post some pics on here from our build, so I'll try to do that this week. I look forward to seeing more of yours on here. Good luck with the paintwork!

    I wouldn't call it born. More like the egg was taken out of the freezer and fertilized.

    I won't call it born until I fire it up and it moves under its own power.
