Heist's Build Thread.

[davo1028]

Just read your entire thread and every post just reaches new levels of epicness. Can't wait to see it after paint, I'm sure it will be just as amazing as all of the rest of the build.

[Heist]

appreciate the kind words. Keeps me motivated!

Just got done for the night and almost had some man tears occur. I was stressed on the rear trailing arm cuts clearing the wheel.... even more so the bracket I wasted days on being at the right angle/far enough towards the center of the car. First setup touched the wheel, pretty quickly thought all hope was lost, but after some final touches everything lined up perfect and now I have a finger gap between the wheel and the coil.

This is it! all mounted up in its glory. Going out in the AM to get some final shots.

Just spent 2 hours reading this whole build. Massive props for having the patience to pull off a build such as this. Good luck with the rest!

Definitely keeping an eye out for the updates

Ah man I wish I had a hardcore project!

[Heist]

[softg]

dude

round of applause

[Heist]

thanks^

Now I'm so ready for color. Crazy how small this car is the fenders are at my waist

[softg]

so, I remember you talking about a set of skirts you had in mind, you ever get them?

you ever figure what you were going to do with the bumpers? exhaust exit?

[CubbyChowder]

That stance is fucking phenomenal. I really hope to see this in person one day maybe at a show or something.

Props to your parents too for letting you do all this in the driveway. I'm sure they're stoked to see you getting crafty, but I could also see certain parents being super anal about this kinda shit. You've really been delivering on updates too, It sucks seeing awesome build threads that just slowly deteriorate. I'm almost living vicariously through this thread because I wanna do something like this soo bad, only I have no convenient space for it. Checking this daily. I feel like I comment in this thread wayy too much haha

[Heist]

softg- I'm going to pick up skirts and rear bumper once the body is done. I have a little too much going on to handle right now. Exhaust is 99% going to be a rear center exit, but again not for awhile new engine will need a custom fabed exhaust.

CubbyChowder- Thank you very much. I really hope its show worthy one day so you can see it! haha

I'm so thankful to have an understanding father. As much as he hates the mess and my shit all over the house I think he appreciates my passion for it and that I'm paying for it and still going to school. Anyways happy to know you're enjoying it and keep the comments coming need the motivation.

hahaha love this^

I have a long ways out and to make it worse I keep changing my mind on things. Great example... I spent hours and hours on the fenders and personally don't even like them. I always ***** the look without a fender flat edge and now I have it. SO I might be cutting them off and starting over, but its a project!

Would be really cool to get a feature on something though. I have never had anything close to a feature haha.

[Volvosome]

in my opinion i think this deserves a feature without a doubt. i have seen few people on here who put so much time, effort, heart, and work into a car. mike burroughs hook this guy up.
