Fire Water
-
Looking to hear what people think.
This car was pretty destroyed when I got her, and still needs a lot of TLC.
The Flames I hammer out with a ballpein hammer.
I have already purchased a running Chevy Nailhead for her, and a servicable Jag IRS.
Uncertian what I am going to do about a Trans yet, I like system in the Veyron, but can't find tose in the Junk Yard yet.
And I like building me Hot Rods with a learning curve in Alt Fuel. I have already done the Moonshine and LP, this one I am out to try Water hence her Name Fire Water. Of course, as the Duality of that name sugests, I can also run her on Moonshine if I utterly fail converting her to Water.
Thoughts and comments on part or whole welcome, or even some polite criticism.

Sounds pretty ambitious. I wish you a lot of luck and please keep us posted. I would like to learn more about the process you use.

Absolutely, That's the point of doing it, to learn. Wish I had documented the Moonshine ride as well, especaily since we went through all the trouble of licensing the still. But I did the Artical on LPG, verry inexpencive, verry simple. But the LPG was more recent, with the internet and digital cameras, makes comunication much simpler. I do have a long ways to go before I'm ready for the Water, Lot of steel still left to straiten, cut, a frame to build. I have made myself a goal of finishing this one in a year this round, and not too far off schedule so far.

Wow, talk about loosing track of a page. A lot has happened since my last post, started working on a frame, added a 392 Hemi, and a Jaguar independent rear suspension. Picked up a Lincoln Mark IV for it's Air Ride, seats and many gadgets.
