Just so everyone knows, I haven't stopped working on the Square. I've been busy with travel for work, side jobs and home improvement projects.

I recently invested in a TIG welder, which well help on a few custom things I've got in mind.

I've also started putting together some kits for air management for other people putting together a bag setup for their Type III. I'm hoping to be able to fab up some bracket kits eventually, but that won't be until further down the road.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to make a bracket for your engine without building it in the car. My square is so modified in the engine bay/floor area that I have no clue if an EDC would even fit in a stock space.

I should have my name changed to Dr. Frankenstein, because I just love bringing stuff back from the dead! Laughing

I started back on the square a little bit last night. Hoping to having the whole body stripped and in etching primer by the weekend. Pics to come.

No, hell hasn't frozen over (although it feels like it up here in the northeast with the temperatures we've been having).


As many of you know, the Square has been stored up in Maine for the last 6 months or so. I finally got the opportunity to get up north to get some work done on it. While I wasn't able to find enough time to work on the bodydrop, I did get it closer to being one color and prevented any future rust in a few major areas.

I will likely be able to get the Square down to Mass before too long. Motorcycle projects have quieted down a bit and I've changed up the layout at the shop quite a bit in order to fit more. Hopefully this will lead to better progress on the car.

Unfortunately no Sad I haven't worked on any ACVW stuff in a few months. A million other projects have stolen my time, but I'm hoping to get back to things by the fall. I'm two motorcycle builds away from having a clean shop.
