just an update to let the few that follow this thread. ive had a few health issues to get thru but everything is still going ok. i hope to get the car over to the fab shop in january to do the front spoiler. still saving the boat load of money its gonna take to send to get it dipped and all the welding an bodywork, paint. i should have it ready to start next fall if my health stays in check. i feel great. i love driving this thing. it will be at the nats next year. the evil scwl has come along way, but there is alot more to do.

Glad to hear your alright USA, you had me worried for a while with all the silence. You know I'm following along in anticipation and know it will be impressive when complete..... hell it's already badass!

Good to hear that you're still feeling great. Can't wait to see the car with paint on it!

Glad to hear you're doin ok, Gary. I was actually thinkin bout ya the other day.

 

[usaroadrunner]

well its official, next oct. the EVIL SCOWL is going to the dipper and the transformation will begin. buh ha ha ha.

 

[747mopar]

That is great news!!!!!! So your getting it dipped to remove paint, rust etc? I'm assuming by your wording "begin it's transformation" the bodywork will follow shortly after? You better get on the ball, don't want to waste any precious weather once it arrives again haha.

Let's see if I got this right...you got a badass 9sec HEMI ROADRUNNER....building a twin turbo HEMI SUPERBIRD...and you can't swing door handles. Sure.

 

[Hemirunner]

All my money goes into those hemis so when I get to the door handles it's gonna be a $5 can of Krylon.

Besides, I definitely want to do the tail lights like you did and need some coin for that!
