Or maybe PTSD.....it's always takes the wind out of my sails when something is finally finished....although the trip down the road never seems to end...but then you just go out and drive the wheels off it and that feeling soon disappears and you drive all over trying to find someone to take for a ride so they can experience the thrill as well.....almost sounds like some sort of BB King song...LOL "thrill is gone, thrill has gone away"...ok.I'm done...

Yeah I never thought of it like that! I know I am gonna be pickin up anyone that wants to go for ride tho :) Told the yougest boy at home that I would take him to school a few times in the hot rod and he got all excited about that
 
Made some LED bolts today

Bought some of these and when I got them I realized I could make these cheaper than I paid for the other ones :) So I sat down today and made a few of these up :)

Well a little update since my last post - All the wiring is done!!! Just finished replacing the rear brakes with new wheel cylindars and springs along with new shoes. Gonna replace the rear axle U joint as soon as I can get to the parts store Then put the driveshaft in :)
 
pretty cool....I thought about putting fenders on mine front/back when done just to give it a different look.After seeing your back fenders may have to mock mine up to see what she would look like.I had the very same idea,trailer fenders from tractor supply/northern or ? Maybe fenders on the front wides supported by a hidden brace so you just see the fender? Hmmmmmmm.....cool rod bubba....

Yeah I got my fenders from northern tool :) I was originally just gonna use 2 and split them then widen them but when I laid the 2 of them on one side I really liked the way it looked :) plus I didn't wanna have to run big ugly mudflaps hangin off the back LOL


Thanx :)
