I will keep updating here also so here is what I just got


Look at what I got for the ghia....





I am going to rebuild it and cut and turn it a 1/4 and run it stock for a while till I can save money and get good coil overs and then go long travel but for now here is were I am with it.











I want to clean it up and paint it, I dont know if I am going to use the beam adapters or just do a tube frame to mount it.

Here is some pics of the upgraded ventuires in my carbs I finally got working right.

Just watched the Silver Lake video in my office Zeeland MI wondering what the heck am I doing in doors. I recognized some of the tree's.

Can't wait to see it for real but probably won't get back in the Dunes before next summer.

A little update on what I have been doing with my car. I was planning on building a motor for it, but I was having a hard time with money and getting parts, so I threw in my stock motor so I can at least drive my car. I don't want to use the stock motor I have in the car to build a motor out of, due to I like to have a little back up. With starting a new job after a year of being out of work, I think what I plan on doing is setting money aside and just buying a motor. I can always build on later down the road. I really just want something I know is going to work. I am thinking something from a 1776 to a 1915 will get me to where I want to be, you know not to much power but enough to impress. The next step I have to take is getting my front end a little better. I have a king pin in the attic but I need to rebuild it and also I need to figure out the mounting of the axle and front hood. I also know I need to rethink the rear shock situation. So this winter I might just not touch anything and just save money. It is a little lame but that is the point I am at right now.
