Cool, any more pics?
This Colt "thing" is spreading.
Just read the off line article in Mopar Muscle Mag. Mr Bolig is thinking about
to build a Colt or well........?
 
this paint had to be sanded off and re-sprayed....air pressure woes...no pics of the new paint,but its way slicker.not perfect,but it'll do.

painted it in the driveway....i'll keep ya'll posted of how this thing does.should be ok,but it still ain't gonna have nuthin for my ol' 70 !!!should be finished in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
 
cool! rattle cans or gun? please do keep us posted on her....did you ever take it for that test flight? or did paint get in the way of that?
 
ive ran it up and down the driveway a few times....the paint is ppg concept acrylic-urethane.its 1957 ch*vrol*t turquiose, lightened just a smidge.
 
Awesome :thumbup:
A question, what does the US authorities say about these "hot rods" on the streets?
I´m asking cause I know the Swedish DMV would just scream at the inspection, to get out of there with this car, LOL
 
Awesome job! I love it. If you really like it you could backhalf it later with ladder bars and wheel tubs 'cause you're gonna need more tire. :)

Every state has their own inspection laws for motor vehicle compliance. Some states are much looser than others. For instance here in Florida there is no state inspection system in place and just about anything goes. The only time you have to worry is if the police give you an inspection ticket to get something fixed.
 
its starting out as a strip only car.i've made sure to keep everything,for possible street use later. the only things id be fudging on would be the lexan windshield, and the lack of windshield wipers (holes got filled),defroster controls and heater box gone.going to the muffler shop this week,all the lights,and horn still work.i could probably sneak it around some though! if i get tired of bracket racing.....who knows what i'll do.

I hope to get the Cricket, haven´t heard from the guy since last week though.
I plan to try to get in contact with him tonight.
 
Great news, bet you can´t stop racing that Colt, lol.
Did you find a 360 engine?
Would love to see it race in person.
