my ws6 build (MANY pics)

[FiFdYnUtZ]

was just browsing on here and realized i never got a chance to post up my build thread on my TA....story goes, i sold my GTP on ebay soon after sending a wire transfer to georgia for my 2000 ws6. I originally had planned to have it shipped but got antsy and ended up driving down there to pick it up (900 miles to get there)...got there, brought it home, and started right away, i had it finished in about three weeks even while still working full time...

anyway, here are the pics somewhat step by step..

right when i got it home

Nice job!

[JustinS]

Nice lookin' car, I especially like the back of it.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Nice job!
Was that front horn bent?

no it actually wasnt! i lucked out on a lot of it, it was hit hard enough to total it but soft enough it didnt need any MAJOR pulling work..

[TbTalon94]

Quite the turn around, car looks fantastic man. Keep up the good work!

[fbodyguy]

Did you take the kirkwood course to get the booth and everything or did you rent one out?

[DustinsDuster]

i believe his family owns a bodyshop that he works in, or he is close with someone who owns one. something along those lines anyway....

[FiFdYnUtZ]

^ yeah, my uncle owns the family business in belle plaine "eastside body shop"...i never went to school for any of this except for various airbrush/custom paint courses....just self taught myself from being around the shop for so long...i did everything but the major frame machine work where i had my other uncle who works there help me out...dont have enough experience with it to feel comfortable yet...i prefer finish work anyway..

[fbodyguy]

Do you know Josh Leib that lives out there with the 2001 red ss?

[FiFdYnUtZ]

in belle plaine?

[fbodyguy]

yeah somewhere around that area, He grew up over there. drives it though the summer to CR everyday.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

cant say i know him or have seen it around...

[Domestic Disturbance]

is that the one D&R built? Chromed 10 spokes, AFR heads, ported fast 78, cammed n purday?

[fbodyguy]

No that is a state trooper from Anamosa

[FiFdYnUtZ]

you know a lot of people with fbodys dont ya? lol

[Domestic Disturbance]

He did run the eastern iowa fbody association site. ever get that server issue figured out?

[fbodyguy]

No and school has taken over and getting busier. CThe next 21 weeks are econimics and business classes with a large reading load. This is my only week off I will have to talk to a friend tonight to see if he has room on one of his servers for the database.
