Grape Ape Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Grape is home as of today and happy to be here. Few things to do but nothing serious. It was done on the 5th but had to many things going on that day to go get it since it was my 60th birthday. Had fun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Mini-Grape is done and running. Put new motors in it but sometimes it's best to just keep the old stuff if it's working. Might change those back out. Grandkids should be pretty happy I hope. Might have to start showing this one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well, couldn't leave it like it is....took the wheel covers and tail pipes off for a silvery/chrome finish and I also took the light lenses off to have them tinted. Why can't I leave this thing alone???? I need the real Grape back in my garage I think. Tomorrow or Thursday for him I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? Are you implying that Grape is now "done?" As in "complete" "finished" and "nothing more to add?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will take a few days I'm sure. He is back home and in the garage again too. Tim, that little V8 would fit right in where it needs to go. That is sooooo cool. 11 hours ago, aenigma said: That is so cool!

Grape Ape Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Yes I have. Not quite done yet either. Hopefully everything will be 100% after this week. We'll need to get a photo session going to have both there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 It starts out as grey, then something just happens. I can't explain it. It must be like the 12th wonder or something. Finally today I was able to get them together. Big and little in 1 place. They both look very good together and like they belong. Big Grape doesn't have any spoilers on him at the moment as the rear one is being a major pain. Wants to lift on the sides all the time. I'm working on a plan B for it and the front one isn't going on until the butt looks good again. But here they are together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
