What's up Keele. I haven't been on here in forever. The dsm seems to be coming along nicely. What car did you wreck? It's been so long I don't even know what you drive anymore lol. The last time I was on here was just after you sold your accord I think. Is your brother still doing ok?

[KeeleDesign]

I'm driving the gsx,

My brother, didn't make it through. And yeah thats been a couple years back.

We're all good as a family though, it sucks that sometimes it takes something like that, to bring everyone back together.

Other than that, I'm spending time on so many projects for other people i barely have time to do anything of my own.

My son seems to be excited to start on our 68 impala though, i posted a video on that thread.

Damn bro sorry to hear about your car. Man it has been a long time since I have been on here regularly. Just want you to know I still have that sick valve cover you did for me and that piece of art will be the first thing to go on my new CB. I really need to post pics of it. Its a damn shame that I never did that sooner.

The beggining stages of my redesign'd hood. EYElids on the hood and a second double hump will be installed, while removing the bracing for weight compensation.
Don't mind my front bumper, when i totalled the car, it broke all my bumper bracing, so it's got to be repaired and replaced.

[Smokinspeeds]

So i dont understand, did you get it fixed or is it still wrecked?

That eyelid mod is pretty dope.

[KeeleDesign]

it's fixed'ish. cosmetically just some scrapes and a few dings.

The cost came in when i had to replace the oil pan, transmission pan, the exhaust undercarriege brackets, etc..I need to replace the FMIC as I think it's leaking, the first bottom 3 rows are crushed as well.

Basically the rocks damaged the underside of the car, Thats much more costly to repair than just visual cosmetic, Although considering my cars color that played a big roll in totalling it as the 3 stage and cost for special paint kicked my estimate over $8,000, we settled out, as i had a $500 deducable and baught the car back for $1300 I ended up getting $6,300 for it, I spent $430 to get it mechanically sound and driveable, and the rest will be fixed overtime. As now since i have to repaint in the future, I'm going ahead and doing some stuff I've dreamed of doing in the past.

[KeeleDesign]

the dreaded part I needed to do is done, now I can start body working it.

[Smokinspeeds]

What was the purpose of welding in that section? As long as you are comfortable with the stability of the chassis after wrecking it. That thing puts down too much.power to trust it with any iffy chassis or suspension issues.

Any news on your old cb? Go check out my thread, just did auto to 5speed and f22b dohc swap. Desperately need body work done myself...

[KeeleDesign]

that section is hard to tell from the photos. but it's a second hump. 2 humps are better than 1


.The car is structually sound. this is just cosmetic.

I love two humps! One is a tease, but two, that's the sh**! Its looking real good man!
