Duke Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm glad to see that car go to a good home. I had been watching it on CL for a while, and if I wasn't knee deep in my own project, I would have totally snatched it up. The progress looks awesome, and PLEASE don't flare the car, the lines are great. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 How did you get it ALL to bare metal? How many hours did it take? Nice work, what motor? Quote Link to comment
mrpvmoore Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 it's not so bad... couple of air tools, a couple of guys rotating in and out , i'd say it's a days work... the customer has opted for an ermish 1800 [13:1, dual 50's] this is our first ermish motor so looking forward to floggin it ! we opted for the 'option 2' ultra close 5'r....

Icehouse Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 So this car is going to be a "real" race car? T/C rods are from Troy Ermish Great price too Does he have a parts page on the "web" :D Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hey Icehouse check it out: http://www.ermish-racing.com/510/tcrods.html Quote Link to comment
mrpvmoore Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 not sure what you mean by real...i thought there was only one kind !! oh yea, the t/c rods are troy's, as well as the coil overs, rear spherical bushings and a few other little bits... there are also parts from several other suppliers , ie. corbeau, fuel safe, moroso, nismo,ect... my philosophy is simple: if troy [or anybody else] takes the time and spends the dough to produce parts to upgrade our beloved little cars, then i want to support that..without these guys we would have no choice but to make these parts ourselves. it's not that these are complicated pieces to make but you i both know that if we HAD to make all this stuff ourselves, the cost alone of having to "one-off" all these parts would be tremendous. i bet alot of project would fall into the "never got completed" pit. so cheers to the guys that save us time and alow us to build bitchin cars in a reasonable amount of time. at least there getting built !! :fu: Quote Link to comment
mrpvmoore Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 hey icehouse, i just spent like an hour catching up on your buildup [im new 2 ratsun] , totally awsome man! it's also cool to see alot of people rally around it .. parts page? we're thinkin about it. we're all racers to the core. 1 of my dudes is a drag racer, the other is a vintage race freak like me but into bmm'rs...and yes , we all have our own opinions about things..
