The Coffee Glider Status update

Well the progress has been slow but I’m slowly getting there.

When i bought it, i didn’t have any plans to get it done this year. But then i tought maybe i can throw it
together and drive, but why? It´s more fun to do the things i wanna do to it and THEN take it out.

It’s now September and in a month or 2 it’s gonna be snow outside. So this little project is now gonna be
my little winter project.

But i had the car in my buddy Jesper’s garage and i thought he would like it back 🙂 (thanks for the hospitality Jesper). but it was a 20minute drive there
every time i wanted to do something do the car, and as the unemployed sucker that i am, money is thight.
SO! i have a pretty big cage in a big ass underground garage where i live, but i had a friend’s car there and hadn’t clean that place in 5 years or more.
So this is where i’m at right now, 2 weekends of cleaning and stuff.

The Street King Larry Larson

I wish the king all the luck on this years drag week

“HOT ROD Drag Week is the world’s most brutal test of a real street/strip car, requiring the cars to drive 1,200-plus miles in one week while racing five days in a row at four different tracks. Larry Larson has done the impossible, winning five times in a row in his ’66 Chevy Nova that has been as quick as 6.94 seconds in the quarter mile at 200-plus mph. This ranks as one of the most impressive feats in all of motorsports, and has earned the Nova the title of HOT ROD Magazine’s Fastest Street Car in America. In this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, meet the humble chassis builder from Oak Grove, Missouri, who makes it happen.”

HOT ROD Unlimited appears every other Friday on the Motor Trend channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend

The 911’s Appeal Is a German Thing

I woke up with a little bit of Porsche fever today, so this helped me a lot 🙂

“Everybody has their “thing.” For John Willhoit, it’s certainly a German thing. For the past 37 years, he and his custom 1971 Porsche 911T have been Stuttgart’s outpost in Los Angeles County. Whether in his shop restoring classic 356s and 911s or on the road thrashing his own rear-engined machine, Wilholt’s German thing is a good thing indeed.”
