Why I'm not working on my hearse

[chestypuller]

give her a car with a brake problem

[Scary Guy]

Seems like a great position to use in court though. "She never loved me, she just wanted her green card and half my stuff as a bonus."

Let that urchin find some other guy to leech off of.

While I am now certain that it was sham marriage, she has her green card and it is unconditionally approved for the next 6-7 years. Before the three year mark, it is a conditional approval and what you propose would have had some merit.

Yeah, I've got the body mounted but I've been dealing with a divorce lately and it turned sour because the greedy bitch I'm married to got her green card and now she would like to own all of my assets too. This is after I bought her her own house free and clear so she would quit trashing mine. As it is, my hearse, blazer, vitara and motorcycle are up for grabs but so is the house I bought her so I'm not sure how things will shake out. I'm still kind of hopeful that she'll get caught outside during the day and simply burst into flames from the sun.

Tell the government it was a sham marriage and get her deported? I mean it could be worth it just to fuck her over.

Obviously an older thread, forgive me I've been absent for a bit, but man I'd love to see the body on the frame. Any updates?

[Dickey]

Funny you mention that; The color was the only thing swaying me to keep it before I started making some measurable progress.

I'll probably keep the pink/turquoise theme for a while if I start driving it regularly.

[chestypuller]

heck of a gocart you got there. man id sell it too if it was gonna stay that color! hehehe

Initially, just as a Nissan 720 pickup as that is what the VIN and title are. South Carolina has a provision for registering kit cars and there is always the Georgia route by way of titling it as an actual 57 corvette and then "selling" it to me to title in South Carolina.

Looking good.
If you do keep it how will you register it? as an S-10, or a Vette, or some type of kit car?

Tacked in the motor mount pads last night. I was able to keep the engine a touch lower than pictured above:







When I get another day without rain, I'll back the hearse out, pull the drivetrain, and weld them properly. I'm pretty stoked about the project at this point.

[Dickey]

Crappy cell phone pics but I made some progress that is actually noticeable:






I ended up using a driveshaft out of a C4 vette, and that put the engine well behind the front axle as you can see. I'm hoping to keep it at the height pictured or lower as well to add as much as I can in the handling department. Once I get it as low as I can, I'll weld in the new motor mounts and start work on the steering column and pedal assembly.

She's alright though I do fault her on her taste in men.

It is a neat looking car but it is still a corvette and I can't quite get past the marquee being something a man buys for his wife.

No way man, its something you trade in your high mileage wife for, so you can get one twice as young to ride with you. Granted, I never met the little lady, and am sure she is a charming young lady.
