Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

Great update Jim. Nice to see your still racing and building electric cars! I'm still working on the 48Ford F1. I just mostly start it and run the engine to make sure the carb doesn't clog. I've been stewing for years whether to keep front suspension stock and get new leafsprings about 1K by time you get new connecting parts or if I try and find some smart fellow who works at a wage I can afford to get a mustang 2 setup front, which opens a big can of worms for steering ect! Or I could just do what a friend suggested and put the inner and outer fenders back on the front and put rest of body back together, finish wiring and lights and just use it! I have, all the parts to do the last part! So just time.

I consider us friends, even tho' we've never even met!

I'll echo your other friend, don't get bogged down in the details and deny yourself any time in that truck. Bolt it together and do the things in life that can make you smile! Paint what you can / while you can and enjoy it for what it is. Life is to short and very imperfect.. We all cannot be MP&C... We don't have Cosmo to back us up.. I can only offer you some advice. That and 2 bucks will maybe get you a coffee.. You are still in California right?

Bolt it back together and drive it! Now you've got 2 friends tellin' you that!

Sorry to derail the thread!
