:fuckyou:

very nice!

hay""" great job on the rest of the car looks sweet hay did you do the axles yet let me know if not i might be able to help Ya!! CVCC-->Rocket.

I ordered custom length integra axles, they are $$$$, but should work nicely

nice.. ever figure out how you're gonna route the header

Ya, I'm gonna extend the runners and route it in front of the crossmember, since I don't want to chop up the stuctural integrity of the car any more than I already have.

BEAUTIFUL SLEEPER....

im loving this car and i cant wait till its complete...
so keep up the fucking fantastic work or everyone who has been eagerly awaiting will have to give u that haircut after all...

by the way beautiful cumstom work...if i decide to make my spare civic 4th gen sleeper (lol its in a backyard right now) ill draw inspiration from your beast of a sleeper

Haha! After seeing the extensive custom fabrication and welding and the fully stocked shop you've got there, I must say I assumed you were... Older.

You look like a baby, I probably should've just read the info under your av and seen you were 22...

Not that I have any room to talk at 19, but you know.

All that aside, I must say I'm extremely jealous, and I'm left wondering, do you weld/fabricate as a job, or is it just a hobby? Because if you can accomplish that much with the skills of a weekend hobbyist, I'm excited because there may be hope for me yet!

Yes, I'm 22.
Yes, I shave every other week
No, I don't weld or fabricate for a living. I had never welded before in my life before I started this project. Anyone with decent eye/hand coordination can weld. It's NOT that hard.

Bad news however:
During the recent cold spell we had up here (It's been -40F to -30F for a couple of weeks) the furnace in my garage quit working. Granted, the thing is a forced air mobile home furnace that is 36 years old, but it was my only source of heat. So until I get a heat source, the project is frozen til spring

And by the way, spring in Alaska means May

 

[eg6sir]

hell, by may i'll be getting almost triple digit weather

 

[klyph]

You got a garage I could borrow?

 

[ziggi20]

Living In Alaska Must Be Fken Awesome Though

 

[klyph]

Pros and Cons man, Pros and Cons.

awesome FISHING... best in the world for my opinion

 

[klyph]

I don't fish. I'd rather go to the store for 10 minutes than freeze my ass off or get eaten alive by mosquitos for hours.

[klyph]

Driving conditions are best in the winter when all the potholes/cracks are filled with snow and ice.

Looks good mang, I'll return in a few weeks to check it out again, I can't follow this every day. The suspense kills me.

 

[klyph]

ITS RUNNING!!!























(The furnace in my garage)
hehe, all it needed was a new fuel nozzle and she runs just like she did 30 years ago. For the next week, I'm gonna basically live out at the garage until I get the wiring sorted out. Update next weekend!

 

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats bro! great work....
great work i must say a true inspiration to those like me and other around....^_^

cant wait till the wiring done and driven her....im actually tempted to tax this idea and do the same here in australia.......

 

[ep3moschini]

[Andrew]

Sweet man!
Lets get some updates!

 

[Ryan55]

Sick car. You say you have no welding experience before doing this. I think i'll give it a try sometime.
