Wow Will, she sure came out sweet. You sir are a master craftsman.
I hear there are still a couple of P-38s stuck in a glacier up in Iceland. You game?

Many thanks Sir! Great to see ya. All I got is a book of matches and a plastic sand scoop, but I think we'd have those birds out of the ice in no time flat.
 
That is one sweet looking car propwash, I enjoyed reading your post and watching this build. Thx for the vid of your hunny running it was sweet, amazing what you can learn and watch on this furom, thx again
 
Hey Will, had the landlord stop over today and he was looking at my RR in the garage, He asked me if I had the 426 in it ( I WISH ), but I told him about your car and how many horse you were putting out and the first thing he said was nascar motor. He's an older guy that likes Richard Petty.
 
Freakin' awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will!!! I don't know what the hell I was doin on the 9th when you posted that vid. I just plain missed it. That, in a word is simply AWESOME!!!. The car looks and sounds amazing. You should be very proud of that accomplishment. Car looks three times better than new. Man, You have to post a driving vid soon!! Time to have some serious FUN!!. Carlisle and Nats next

I've been watching your thread for a while, but haven't had too much time to follow up on the last few months. I've been busy with some little parts on my 71 RR, and other things like work & life keep trying to intervene.

I have to agree with 68 chicken, the video you posted a little while ago was AWESOME!! Your car turned out better than fantastic even. I love the sound of a TTI system with Super Dyno Max mufflers.

Soon I will start digging into the body work on my Bird. I can keep going back to your thread as inspiration.

Thanks for the excellent postings !!!
 
Thank you air grabber! Best of luck on your own resto. Been watching your thread as well and the way things are going, you're in the works to have one fine Mopar indeed. Have a good weekend!

You do the same brother. I'm working a 24 on Sat. Thanks again.
Stay safe.

yeah there are 5 more P-38s, and a B-17 that haven't been seen since '42. Just fifnished the book on the recovery of the first Lighting that was brought up. Need pockets as deep as the ice those planes are in!
 
Cheese and Rice!!!!! you take a month off and you never know what might happen. My God Prop, what are we to do now? No Skeletor to check in on and know that she is in capable hands. BTW, great story on the smoking of said chebby truck. LOL

I hope your purchase of land endeavor goes well as I am currently in negotiations myself on a place in Eagle River just a bit to your north. The picture of the flowing water was a slice of Gods country. Easy to see why you would be taken with its beauty. I think I can speak for many here that we look forward to your next project whenever the urge may possess you. And I do mean Possess. You are a man possessed with perfection in results and you have achieved them with your beautiful black mean-*** Roadrunner. May the Chebby and Ferds bow to you. So I take my leave of this wonderful thread and look forward to the "kill" stories certain to follow in other threads on FBBO.
I will be in your area sometime this fall. If you are not in the woods, I would love to come by and see your work of art. and that yellow Coronet of yours.

Thanks a bunch Daryn. Like a lot of guys here, I take your words to heart and appreciate them. You're always welcome to swing by anytime and I would enjoy shooting the breeze with you. My wife has been pretty graceful in all the time she's allowed me to live out in the garage. I'm gonna grab hold to some of her priorities for a while before hunting for that next ride. It's the least I can do. In the mean time i'm gonna have to figure out how in the heck to keep myself out of trouble. From the get go I planned on building myself a pretty mean machine. Well........what I ended up having in the garage is a monster. On that same note, I seem to take on a "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" syndrome when I get in the car. Taking a cruise tonight I found myself not looking to terrorize anyone and strum up trouble, but what did occur was me hunting out those who were making it a point to mess with other people. The ones I made example of, I did so quickly and i'm sure lessons were taught, but at the same time I learned mine. I gonna have to learn to put a leash on myself and the throttle. Opening this car up on the street has much different repercussions than a run of the mill street car with a hopped up carb, swap tent intake and some chrome valve covers. Putting a majority of the pedal to the floor tonight, I know that now. I feel like the fat kid staring at the candy jar every time I get in, but somehow or another i'm gonna have to keep her rumbling instead of roaring at every given opportunity. Either that or one of you guys will be bailing me out of jail...lol Open Drags in a couple weeks at the local Drag Strip. Think i'm gonna head on down there, burn up a couple sets of tires and get some of this bottled up octane out of my system.

Thanks again Daryn and hope to see you sometime this fall.

I'll help with bail money too but sounds like the car is well sorted so let's see some more youtubes !!

Count me in! Should we just start a "Will's Bail Fund" then or what? I can see the commercials now. "For just a dollar a day, less than the price of your daily newspaper, you could help keep Will or another gearhead like him out on the streets laying rubber for all to enjoy."
 
Glad to see your enjoying it, not babying it or just sitting around waxing it "giver hell" and give them young guns something to ponder.
