Thanks Rob! Has a few setbacks today. Had a steel brake line break off so gotta tackle new brake lines tomorrow. Should be sunny skies from there on. My timeline is CAR COMPLETED 9/14/11. We'll see. Stay tuned.

Is this one a keeper... or is it headed to eBay?
Just curious.
I know that you were disappointed for having to sell the last one.

It's funny how much these cars have meant to me over the years. Every one I have built has been the most fun I have ever had on 4 wheels. Pictures, memories and so on. Each time I have sold one, the guys I have sold them to have had the same crazed look in their eyes and have enjoyed that rush from the second I hand them the title. The flip side of that coin, I find no joy in letting the cars go. I let that last one go last year to a great guy in Indy. At EVERY single car show I have attended this year I have people I don't recognize approach me and say," So where did you park the Bluesmobile?" or "Did you drive the Bluesmobile?". It's like a knife lol. Well, 2011 now. These things ain't getting any younger and sure aren't any easier to find. This is going to stay with me for better or worse. Thanks TK.

Nice!
Glad to see that you now have a nice base car with a long list of fun times ahead.

Agreed, keep them coming! On a side note, how many have you built?

This will be #4. So far it has been the most solid. No floor damage and that was a big hurdle last time. Body is straight too. I put in a long day today (dusk 'til dawn) and got 90% of the car finished. Tomorrow will be the completion of this build. Even got the push bar done. Here is a pic at 8:00 this morning during prep prior to painting.
