Projects Kustom From Outer Space..France calling.

Merry Christmas, Rat! Thanks for keeping us all entertained and demonstrating to us that our excuses for a lack of progress may be just that, excuses. You have persevered with your custom in spite of some significant challenges. Very well done!

 

Again, I love this thread and all your posts. Entertaining and educative, stay safe down there in these new times!

 

Looks Great!
Joyeaux Noel! Did I get it close? If not Merry Christmas and Much Progress in the New Year!

Almost KoolKat-57, French is very hard to learn, is you say "Joyaux" in French, you mean "Jewels".....the correct word is "Joyeux" means "Happy".....So, "Joyeux Noel" to you too
But sometimes words are useless

 

And a happy,safe,healthy and prosperous New Year to you from me and mine to you and yours.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Wishing you and yours a healthy,happy,safe and prosperous New Year.

Let's go for 2018....Originaly, the floor was flat, but now there is a drive shaft tunnel, the 1966 Plymouth console doesn't fit anymore.....too high, too long.....


It's always a risk to modify nice part (and rare for me like this Baraccuda part), but custom is a life style, so....console chop party time


I have reduce everything, it need adjust, but it's gonna be alright....test in car before finishing the work, cool, I can engage all gearbox speeds, shifter is ok.

Next step, assembly the console, and bolt everything on tunnel, remove again, and new carpet.

 

Looking good!

 

Thank's, it's not finish, I must assembly the polyester, mastic, paint.....but the part looks like the original, but smaller now ;-).

 

Its fearlessness and creativity like this that keeps me looking forward to your progress reports. This has to be one of the coolest threads on the HAMB.

 

Hey! Give us an update!

 

Hello Ratatouille,
Are you still looking for suspension springs : 4 here : http://fregate.forumactif.org/t472-recherche-2-ressorts-de-suspension-avant

 

Rata was not here for more than a month. I hope he is fine.

 

Rat we're jones'n for an update.

 

Hello guys, no news, because I have no money to buy the rest of missing parts (no job and France is like the Titanic!!!), but the real problem is with my car park outside and about 1 month, it's too cold, and no possibility to work on the car.....I don't know if I can finish my car this year, I need to work on a lot of things, the paint is hurt by other car and bad weather with no protection...well, it's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'n' Roll.

 

Thanks Ricky for your propose, I have already find my springs and mount them, check page 42 .

 

Hi Mr Rat.Looks like"Old Man Winter"has dealt you a JOKER in the card game of life.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Come on Ratty!, give us some news

 

Thanks for the update. I bet you could land a fabrication job.

Hang in there champ.

 

Dear Santa, can I have a garage one day?

 

Warm thoughts sent your way. I can only imagine what you could accomplish if you lived in San Diego, California!!

Thanks Lowcoe,
I do not know if one day I'll get a foot on the American soil, but this day will be for me like Amstrong walking on the moon! My dream.
My Fregate is for me a way to communicate with cool guys, and share with you my story. I try to do my best to finish the car....in 15 days in San Diego?...no, 15 years in south of France.

After that, i paint the car in red, and i build my own rocket with packing carton boxes

 

Trouve toi vite un abris! un custom qui dort dehors se degrade rapidement!

 

What he said...I think!

 

How is the weather over there now? Looking forward to some more updates, hope all is well, mes ami.
