slantasaurus Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks guys but you might not like my Datsun very much when you find out who I'll be driving for, they happen to be the most feared company in Chicago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwdave92 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sixth annual?!?! Oh man. "I'm out of it for a while and everyone get's delusions of grander," said Han Solo. Well I toed the starting line the first two years. Was all set to make the first three then dropped out of sight as real life happened. I can't tell you how happy I am to see this thing is alive and kicking! And largely unchanged. nope… no way I'll get a car together by the deadline. I can only hope there will be a 2014 contest. Thanks for keeping things going. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftingRookie Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The impala is in the paint shop as we speak first color of the two tone is drying then going to mask off and spray 2nd color for two tone.

TFchronos Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Trust me, there will be another one next year, even if I have to run it. I wont let this fade away, not while I'm still breathing at least, I'm having way to much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Count me in for next year I finished my build back in May and she hasn't been on the road since.. better start her up to make sure she's running sweet ready for the race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftingRookie Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Did the wet sanding this morning and forgot to put it back on the stand to put over my heater to dry, well it got melted and warped so I'm a little pissed off right now. But the Dart will be ready for the start line, just haven't gotten around to taking pictures of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
