Coming down to the wire! I'm so excited to see how this thing looks as a truck. I'll put contact info here as well as update the first post on the thread. Weather looks like it will be perfect, 70 and sunny!
I'll be starting at about 8 am and going till dusk, open house style, come when you want, leave when you want.

If you text me I will text back my address if that makes it easier for GPSing
Come one, come all! I'm throwing down a build party for a challenge car, and everyone is invited. My idea is that a bunch of the GRM (or other likeminded) folks in or near Chicago who want to come be part of a challenge build are invited to come out to my place for a day and basically build a challenge car. It won't be the same thing as the famed parking lot builds, but maybe this could be a similar experience for Chicago folks who cannot make the challenge in person. Here is the car - 1999 Saab 9-3: 
The plan is to make it into a pickup truck and compete in the pickup class. I'm thinking of emulating this kind of look for the paint scheme, maybe with red wheels and whitewall tires: 
Saturday September 9th will be the major build day with the 10th being on reserve. I will start early in the morning and go until dark. I'll supply tunes, doughnuts, coffee, water, hot-dogs/hamburgers, cold beers, and hot grill space. Come when you want, leave when you want. If you are coming from far away and want to stay the night I may be able to accommodate, let me know. I have a long list of stuff to achieve, and I'll write it on a big piece of cardboard for the roadkill fans. Any and all skill levels will be needed. I'll have all my planned parts/paint and tools here and ready, and parts stores are close by should we need anything else. I hope to take it to a shakedown autox after the build day and before the challenge, so all builders would be invited to the autox and we will get as many people who want to drive into the driver seat as possible. If you can make the challenge, we will raise a glass with you and if you cannot make the challenge we will raise a glass to you, I can promise that. Finally, the town I live in (Flossmoor) is hosting a festival that day as well, so if you would like to bring your SO and/or kids who aren't as enthralled with cheap cars as you are, that will be an activity that is literally a 5 minute walk from my house. Mark your calendars! Location is Flossmoor IL 60422. Southern suburbs of Chicago, about 5 minute drive south of I-80 near the IL/IN border. 3 minute walk from a metra electric stop if you are so inclined. I'll give more specifics to anyone who plans to come, PM me.
