Christmas cards with our cars

Ok It time to scratch our heads,and get creative for Our freinds all over

I still have not hammered out the ideas for my car cards But it went over well last year.

Heres your chance to show off.

Pretty plain, but I'll see what I can come up with in the next week or so. Barry, by the way - I ordered my Southern Supreme 3 pounder last week for the holiday. No better nut/fruit cake in the world!

I made one last year..... :)

I got by with 8 last year I made them all right here. I was hoping for snow last year to do something special ..NO such Luck.

I don't get out much. They keep me caged up at work. with a screwdirver in one hand and lose screws in the other. Of course Im kidding. but I do live about 9 miles east of Southern Supreme I like some of their stuff But my mom can easly beat them. She makes Choclate Covered Cherries to die for. and I helped her finish up 3 coconut cakes she made from scratch this week. Oh boy enough with the food.

Thats a very distingushed picture and a good lookin ride. Nice idea.

At the risk of blowing up my camera. I concidered a picture of me in the car with a Santa hat on. Uuerraa NO.. Not a good Idea! I need something snowy and that is remanicent of the the 1950s

My cards are done , But I did use a copy righed image to build it on. Ans it did change quite a bit.I would luv to post it.

BUT I don't dare. I dont want to risk my membership here

So I will simply wish Each and every one of you a safe a happy Christmas. or Honickia. if that be the case. Peace to all and the prayers for a Happy New Year.

Happy holidays

i spoke to a friend who runs a local server. He said I should be ok And sence mike poped his up,

What the heck if it is a problem . Theron can delete it.

Me and the Wrench.
He's the guy in the orange suit.

Merry Christmas Cory. and the pic is pretty good to.

I hope your ears haven't been burning to much.

Hooptie came up in conversation yesterday, at the VW repair shop, I was over helping Mr Vestal with a 78 converable with a fuel injection hicups Just a bad hot start injector.
A customer was checking out oldyeler and asked has anyone ever built a replica with a race frame.
I milked it for ALL its worth. and just told it like it is I had fun with it.

That is one mean puppy. I'm proud of you sir for doing it right.

Here's the card I'm sending this year. Perhaps I'll use a speedster next year......

Vince, can I be on your Christmas card list?

Vince...she looks naughty, just like you!! ~Esther

<< short hijack warning >>

Mike, I noticed your picture had a heading that read "Life in South Carolina". Whereabouts?

<< end hijack - we now return to your regularly scheduled thread >>

lane, he lives in your nieghbourhood. DOH!

Hello Lane. Dunes West in Mount Pleasant, which is just across the harbor from Charleston. You here too ?

Hey Lane, some of your photos are here in Dunes West in front of the clubhouse. I think I may have seen your car make a left onto the IOP connector one day in the past week or so ?

Background look familiar here ?

Sorry about the hijacking folks.

Your welcome Cory. I ment every word. I know how much work a tube frame can be.

I gave it, and you the reconition you earned.

I may soon be starting a EV-1 electric car from scratch. I recently had a break through in power unit concept. That even blew me a way.
I have a concept rendering of the car from that borrows a nissan stansa or a dodge neon cab Its still in the works but Im still not happy with the shape, it needs more work . I intend to base it on a 356 coupe but with a modern cab useing Satern door panel tricks and a custom fiber glass front and rear sectons, that I will have to make

I may need some insite in lighting the car but trying very hard to keep its frame strong. With a finish weight of not over 15,hundred pounds


some thing weard happen when i up loaded it theres is a mark on the wheel and some speckling. WEARD.

Its not inportant but as you can see the front is to short and the door and roof need to move rearward 8 inches and that should balance it out it will use recessed beehives rear. but geting in and out of it should be easyer.
AC Propulsion will supply most of the drive line parts and instrument kits for whatever I use. But I will have to get creative in reducing the Gross Vehicle Weight . to their requirements with my recent achevements I don't for see a problem. YEAT!!

I have not told them about my recent developments They do know I was working with turbines. But this is totally different.

<< Resume hijack >>

Mike, I'm also in Dunes West. I'm back in Dunes Mille (the cheap seats) over in Harbourside. Is that your Jag? Droooooooooool!!!

We need to get together. I'd love to see your wheels and how you make them. Email me at laneanderson2003 AT yahoo.com.

<< End hijack >>

Good luck Barry. You never seem to be daunted by a project.
ed

Inter High Jack stage right .

Thanks I try .
It can't be any harder than a 38 chevy with a big block.and a 86 corvette frame. Oouh boy.

I was told the EV-1 shares parts with 96 Satern and Grand AM
If this is true the job suddenly gets a bit easyer.

But do I bug pan it for rear wheel drive or go Grand Am front wheel drive .
If I go front drive It means less work on the cab live with a stock track and just shortin the wheel base a schose to a scaled lenth.

AC propulsions offers kits for both including the 914.

This thing looks a lot like a the Honda Civic prototype i just saw in a car mag.

It's funny, Barry, but if you added two more doors, you'd have the new Porsche Panamerica prototype I've been seeing in "spy" drawings!

Thats a sharp porsche concept.But i rather make it look as much like my 356 D as I can, but be a coupe.
I just hope,I have enough time and funds to take on one last custom,
I hope VS will sell me a the nose,the front and rear lids and the rear section. to build such a costom, even if I have to widen them a schose for the wider cab .

I need to build a full frame. with struts all around. If i can pick a production cab with winshield and doors and jams intact . and re work the floors and custom the cab from the doors rearward. i should be able to cut the weight seriouly down. everything from the winshild forward will be trimmed off. I will simply have a the door section of the cab like a cockpit
Even thou, it would be harder i like rear wheel drive. When i cut up the cab That will be it. I,ll be committed to rear wheel drive
