Hood opens just as I imagended! , power for the opening off next................................................

 

I love this so much! This is a full custom of the highest order. I love the mockup of the roof shape, can't wait to see this with all of it's skins on.

 

Power too ! Of course. Should have known.

 

Thanks Squablow means alot. I cant wait for its skins ether!...........

 

great fab skills there moon !
'been watching all along.

when this pic showed up, I thought that the "ribs" were going to be part of the final design, and only needed a little tweaking to blend in.

 

I did too

 

Can’t wait to see more on the hood!

 

Awesome work man, love it.

 

Guys like you are such an inspiration to me, what can go wrong with a flexible vision, I will have to stop procrastinating, get the chop saw out on one of the hulks in the shed and start cutting to see where it goes, love it

Need to slow it down a Bit low plus on fluid and sqeeky joint but it works!........................

 

Damn! You’re an engineer too! Fine job!

 

There is greatness in the room.

 

That hood is so cool! Really like how this is coming along.

 

To paraphrase an old line, son you’re gonna drive me to drinkin if don’t start driving that hot rod Lincoln.

Not that anyone but me will notice but Ive took 3/8ths more out on the front to rear taper of the rear qtrs, not gonna change them anymore! weld up time

 

I kinda thought so too, and I like the idea. Maybe '58 Cadillac Deville quarter spears or something leading into what I will assume is going to be scooped quarter panels, or on the doors would look cool too. I really like where this car is heading.

 

Look what Rot n Kustom did for me!.......

 

BTTT

 

You must be sykik just dusted it of to do a bit tomorrow..............................

 

...I just 'MOON' over this....

 

Got the hood opening much smoother and slowed down a bit also got the trunk hinges finished and powered..........................

 

After messing with the hood/trunk I played with the door / A pilliar area which will mean new hinges, I have a cunning plan for them that I hope will work, if not its only metal...................................

 

I don't know how you're going to hinge them, but I love the new shape of the door openings.

 

Fantastic skills !

 

I will have to check but I think I might have them Dagmars you are looking for..

 

Is there any way to put a dampener on the articulating hinges to reduce the shaking as it opens?

 

Looks to me like there may still be a little air in the hydraulics for the deck lid. that can cause some jerkyness.
