I like the way it turned out, J. Very nice.

[diymirage]

Two more weeks have passed.

i will put ti back on my to do list
hopefully i can get the wifey to help me by giving me some time to work on it

right after i change the oil
cut the lawn
fix the weedwhatcker
whack the weeds
fix the drain
and im sure she can come up with a few more ideas

[diymirage]

well, i was tinkering with her a little bit today and i just couldnt get the hood to close
after a carefull investigation it turned out that the airfilter sits too high...the same airfilter/carb combination i snatched from the partsbox
(see what happens when you cut corners?)

so i guess i will paint up the kit supplied pieces and then see if that hood wants to close properly

Really thought it would be a hot idea, guess I was wrong.

13 days left. I don't think anyone else will be finishing one... Jairus sad.

[Michigan Madman]

Never even got mine started, and I'm not too confident about any eleventh hour saves on my part.

[CorvairJim]

With the end date less than 2 weeks away (My birthday too, Eelco!), I really don't think I'll be able to get anything started, let alone finshed. I mght just toss together one from memory of one of my boyhood favorites when we get home from vacation on Saturday - 9-day builds are possible, right? I just won't have the actual Hot Whels car available to compare it to, since I never got around to digging them up. They got lost in the shuffle several moves ago. I still have them... I think... I hope! I'm thinking along the lines of the 1973 issue Olds 442 in purple or the even earlier issue of the "Custom Nomad" in gold.

(Hey, Eelco: Any possibility of a deadline extension? )

[Jairus]

I hope not Jim. This idea has sat for two months with no updates. I see no reason to even wait till Monday, might as well just pull the plug now as the patient is dead.

[Michigan Madman]

Not even this guy can save the patient-

[Jairus]

DONE!

And last community build I will take part in.

[diymirage]

well, that was kind of an anticlimax
