Disassembled the beast over the past couple of weeks in Orange and then AJ (the guy building the tube chassis) did some minor cutting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I am getting pretty excited about the project though, should be cool if every crazy idea I have works out... never really know until you start piecing the puzzle together.
All things work on paper, only some things work in reality (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) If anyone really cares I will continue to post pics as the progress moves along... here is some starting pics. BTW, more pics are on my website in the chassis link I have started. Here is a shot of week1 Attached image(s)

you hit it right on the head! That is exactly how I described it to AJ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) When I was about 13-14yrs old, my uncle who was into Hot Rods (kinda where I got it from) thought I was nuts and told me "you're the kinda kid that would bolt a Big Block to a skateboard" and it sorta stuck with me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Andy - I have tried flash and tend to get "wash" in my pix (it that makes any sense) - it is too bright. Then I would have to learn how to use my camera to actually mess with the shutter timing and such. The shots you are seeing are actually at night in an "OK" lit shop - so you can see the camera will flood a lot of light into the photos already. I think it is the batteries since the last two times are the only times I have had this blurry issue, and the batteries were starting to flash that first time and was flashing the whole time Wed night. I will get new batteries today to have for tomorrow's update at the shop and the CFOS. Brett - I will google those uprights and sheck 'em out. Thanks for the tip. (EDIT) actually do you have a good link to check them out a bit online? I googled and didn't know what a ZR2 was - apparently I get ads for a bizillion (not just a million billion, a bizillion!) Blazers. |
