Does it have rum or any kind of booze in it?

The lemon drink that is.

BTW....I love your skills at taking un-obvious items and modifying them for your application....your car will be sweet when done no doubt.

That's using your noodle.....and yes please more pics of the hottie (I hope) with the pink thong.

as I was alone, I put rear axle upside down to make work easier...

Now I have move it to right side... tomorrow I hope..

I'm having some problems with my parking garage. My building manager came to me to say that I have to move my car tomorrow due a repair in parking garage floor...

BUT it was suposed to be on 15th august.. mother FFFFFF ...

Let's make another caipirinha!

 

[PanGasket]

Good work alex, haha, if life doesnt work like that when u have a project, then when does it man? lol

 

[alex_borges_br]

I use 2 or 3 spoon of sugar (granulate) into a glass...

chop half lemon (just wash it) and knead it with sugar and 1/4 of glass with caxaça (ka tcha sa ) or vodka.. I prefer vodka..

.. you have a juice as result.. add some ice..

You may remove the lemon from glass...

now I chip the other half lemon ... use it as decoration (and while I drink, I knead it to)...

You may add more caxaça (or vodka) and water... try do mix some glasses... there is not a rule to make caipirinha..

 

[momoparman]

MMMMMMMMMMMmm that looks refreshing.

SInce I love Vodka I will have to try one tonight.

Thanks for posting your drink build.

not the way I planned, but it is on wheels.

I instaled rear axle to push it to a friend parking garage (something about 3 or 4 squares away)...

note the new scratch... while I was pushing it out of my parking garage..

 

[alex_borges_br]

Not exactly a great ride...

first shot.. my friends (crazy like me)

second.. to move the dart front end... an old pallet with a junk freezer wheel base =P~

3rd. time to dream.. I was dreaming at driver side

4th. We have a problem! lost one wheel... floor was crap for 50meters..

5th to 7th shot.. solution to problem... we put a new engine onto A-body

last shot.. resting in new temporally parking garage.. thanks to all friends that helped me a lot

How many horsepower is that new engine, Alex? :-D

 

[alex_borges_br]

My engine has about 3 horsesWithoutPower

but, instead gas, we use beer..

How many horsepower is that new engine, Alex? :-D

 

[alex_borges_br]

first time I use compressor

love it. I do have to learn a lot... but job is done

I painted K member and engine mounts.

As soon as I paint other front end suspension, I'll put all together..

K-member and engine mounts are black

all other parts are going to be dark gray.

 

[PanGasket]

You did an awesome job for your first time using a compressor! Looks great to me!

 

[alex_borges_br]

preparing vintage sound system to my dart. This tweeter is a classic...

last weekend I painted a frind's dodge dart. It is my second paintin job... about 2 or 3 problem (as drops in the paint).. but quiet nice to this place.

 

[PanGasket]

looks alot better than my engine bay does right now! well done!

 

[alex_borges_br]

I built a frame to help me while I paint...

I used some scrap wood and some scrap nails also


I painted some parts from front suspension and I took another shot of K member

 

[alex_borges_br]

I started to reinforce low arms

I cutted a piece of sheet metal.. about 3mm thin (1/8 in)

a friend welded... now I will drill it.. I also have to grind weld to make a good painting job later.

 

[66plyValiant]

looking good as always:thumbrig:

 

[alex_borges_br]

almost finished
I started to grind weld but my disks finished

I use a cheap dremel clone ... I use standard cut disk, break them and make them small circles... finally they are fine to use in small eletric rotary tools.

but be carefull with these tools... they have a very hight rotation speed. I use the lowest as possible

 

[alex_borges_br]

grinded some parts..

front disk brakes rebuild kit

engine mounts and sway bar brackets and bushing

 

[71ChallengerSE]

Where did you get those sway bar brackets?

 

[alex_borges_br]

i

Where did you get those sway bar brackets?

Hi, brackets came from a ford escort first generation just as the one from this link...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(North_America)#First_generation_.281981.E2.80.931990.29

Brackets and bushing fits quiet well dodge dart. I've made I minor modification.. I prefer to use screws in metric unit.. than I remade the hole to a 8mm screw.

If the distance of the holes is larger than the distance from the dodge plate, you can put the brackts into a vise and push it..

hope you understand.. make contact if necessary
