Elrod's 5.0 Revival

[lwarrior1016]

I still got my tattoo V card :/

Need to stop buying car parts and change that.

Time for you to pop your cherry. I got hooked right after the first one and was on a steady path to being sleeved until I started hardcore on the car. Then the artwork came to a screeching halt.

Damn, not death bat enough.

It wasnt intended to be a replica, but it was inspired by the death bat.

Bought a few things the other day.

Been putting off buying pedals for waaaaay too long.

Good call on the pedals.

Finally made a little progress on this thing. My buddy got his welder back and we were finally able to get the engine panels welded in Wednesday night. We had to trim about 1/4" off the front of the panels to get them to fit right. Cleaned everything up then sprayed the fenders down with some weldable primer. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

Next up is grinding down the welds and cleaning them up, and still have a patch panel to weld in on the firewall to cover up the a/c junk I'm getting rid of. Then a lot of filler and seam sealer and body work but atleast this part finally got done.

If you ever saw it in person you'd see that it's not all nice and shiny lol. And I thought you were putting the rivet in panels in your car? Amirite?

Yeah I'm gonna do the river in and keep the panels satin. It will help continue the menacing look the rest of the car has.

A/C is overrated :grin:

Right you are, Ken.

A/C is overrated :grin:

It is and isn't at the same time. It never worked since I've had the car and didn't feel like spending the money to fix or replace everything. Buuuut it gets hot as heeyyyuullllll down here during the summer so it may bite me in the ass. Oh well #noragrets
