Default ketchup!'s slow ej1 build

well i figure id start a build thread of an ej1 i picked up a couple months ago. this is going to be my first true project car, so it should be fun. I plan on touching all aspects of the car, but with going to school full time well see how long it takes. anyways onto the pix.

installed some spoom mirrors




then i stripped the rear. plan on respraying it with some bed liner or someething


and heres a reference of my past two cars that i put together

Do you have Graeter's Ice Cream stores out there? I know they ship ice cream using dry ice. Cant wait to see the progress on it. Any plans for the motor yet? I am trying to decide which route to take...

I bought 5 pounds of ice and that was good enough for my EM1 I would get a little extra to be safe.To get the stuff off the rear shock towers just tape carboard up around the towers and fill the cardboard with the dry ice and let it sit for 15 minutes comes off real easy.
