    I always get that El Camino above and Cushenberry’s car mixed up. Every time I see that Elky in primer I think to myself “I sure liked that red fade paint job it had” which of course is the Exodus’ paint job. LOL

    @rudestude do you have a pic of the cover of that book? I can’t believe there is a custom book I don’t have. LOL. I’ll be hunting that one down. [emoji16]

    I'm allover that!
    Were you aware of his idea to open up the gun-sights (and flipping them, for a concave entry)?
    Antennae were also mentioned.
    Personally, I think a rearward lean to the leading edge would bring this off nicely.

I get to his place with my car and two hangers he tells me to pull the ornaments off and go down to the barn and get some bailing wire....what.. I did and finally ask what the deal is with the hangers and wire....he says you want me to show how to nose and deck your car right....yes...well I'm going to learn you how the way I was learnt....that's the way he talked...so I welded all the holes up with oxy and hangers and bailing wire for rod ...he says thats the way I did it on the Merc ,he got a really Kool chopped Merc I used to Barrow it years back he still owns it hasn't had it out in 20 years ,it all turned out great as I was finishing up a buddy of his rides up on nice Harley chopper he checking out the car See's my hood ornament laying there say's hey dude how much for the bird...what...your bird...Roger says your hood ornament...biker say's give you ten bucks then says hey kid you smoke...what...no..OK cool dude...then he grabbed a drill put some holes in his front fender and mounted the "bird" what you think kid....kooool....then he says man you welded that all up using coat hangers.....yep...then he says hey Roger what's up you couldn't even let the kid use your new wire feed welder....WHAT.....that's the way I learnt to nose and deck a car....a couple weekends later I took it to a guy and had a couple hundred louvers punched in the hood .....Kool...[​IMG][​IMG]
