whodeanie's 88 gt custom build (Page 13/79) Raydar SEP 21, 12:21 AM Holy sh!t!! You certainly don't play! whodeanie SEP 22, 08:03 AM not realy any new progress this weekend. I spent the whole weekend in classes. last night I was able to do a little welding before I ran out of wire. the out side is almost complete but I still have to do the whole inside. it is a lot of work I will not lie. I am having to jump around with the welding and re check everything as I go to make sure it does not move and it stays where I put it. so far so good. I hope to have the chassis done this week and start back on the body. I will keep everyone posted. GODFATHER SEP 22, 08:34 AM quote Originally posted by whodeanie: I will not be posting detailed pic's of the chop or any information on it. as part of the deal I made with Archie. the pic's above are as detailed as I will get on the chop. sorry! I'm glad you said that. I don't know if you or me spoke to Achie first but had talked to Archie at Daytona in 2007 about getting parts and instructions on doing a choptop. I have everything but didn't post pics or talk to much about it due to the agreement I had with Archie. No pics or details about the cuts and in NO WAY is Achie responsable for my mistakes or misunderstanding of the process. I've been gathering up body parts and will be starting on the body work. Great job whodeanie and its nice that people still can keep their word. Joe whodeanie SEP 22, 10:21 AM thanks for that. and yes when I say I will do things or in this case not do things I hold to it. people need to make a living. 85duke SEP 22, 05:54 PM Whodeanie you do awesome work adding this to my favorites good job. exoticse SEP 23, 12:22 AM Whodeanie, When do you plan to finalize the chop ? I am dying to see the chop with the body back on. What is the daily countdown on the wheels ? whodeanie SEP 23, 09:52 AM quote Originally posted by exoticse: Whodeanie, When do you plan to finalize the chop ?

I am not sure on the wheels BonSpeed will call me when they ship them they were making the 19's when I talked to them last. As far as the chop I have the outside welded now and I am working on the inside (the hard part!) it is taking a little time but I dont have a lot of time to work on it except after work. I am taking measurements as I go to make sure that nothing moves while I am welding so it does take a bit more time than you would think but it will be right when I am finished. I would like to finish the welding this week and get back to the body so I can get it in primer ASAP. I have not taken any new pictures yet because welding is not very intertaining and it does not look like much has been done even though a lot has been done. I do hope to be back on the body by this weekend. I will keep you all posted. whodeanie SEP 25, 08:06 AM I was able to work on the car last night and I just about have all the welding done. now it is a lot of grinding and metal finish before I can start on the body but I should have the chassis part done tonight. it other news I finaly found the plugs for the tail lights at an AC Delco distrabution center. this has been a tough week here in Atlanta. no gas to be had and yesterday alot of my friends lost their jobs when the largest Chevy dealer went bankrupt and closed 13 locations with about 2600 people. I am thankfull that my shop is still doing ok but it has been tough. no mater what I will continue to work on my car to get it done. I enjoy working on it and for me it helps me forget all the crap of the day. I will keep you all posted. I should have some pictures next time. D. 85LAMB SEP 25, 10:03 AM Please continue posting I look forward to seeing your progress and hope to see it completed one day. Maybe if you come to the Daytona show. Keep up the good work. ps I am sorry about your friends loosing their jobs, I know the feeling... whodeanie SEP 25, 11:00 AM I will finish it and I will be taking it to the shows. it may just take a little longer than I wanted. I always pay cash for everything on this car so I will owe no one when it is done. that way no one can take it when it all goes to s**t. but yess I will keep posting the progress here often.
