*Pics* Model A build-lookout Chopperman!!

Looking great Scott...hurry up and take a roadtrip out to sunny Kansas and visit the Starcraft!

Give me a call when you get a chance. I've been doing some more thinking about my shoebox...

 

That looks amazing.

How dose the air flow with the cut down fan blades?

 

This vehicle has amaizing detail and workmanship, every time I see the new pictures it just reminds me to get in the garage and finish my project. Looks like we all have to step it up a notch or two, this is quality work here.

 

Not really at all....Dont really know if its does anything...Thats a Walker 4 core radiator...should be okay. Its not a cut down fan either...I do need to send it out to the chromer though along with a few other things.

 

ow i thought it was cut down...

 

Very nice build. All I can say is WOW!

 

DUDE...its Starcraft!!!! Holy crap..thaught you were dead! TODDIE sais you found some new gal, so I assumed she had to tied up in the back of the car..

 

Evel,
So Mokato is coming to my shop in a few weeks...I decided on the name...Ill post pics after..Itll be a surprize!! That and the lines hes laying too...Ive also got him slapping me out a sign for GNRS...Poor guys gonna be sweating all day on one car!

 

Awesome!!!

Mokoto is a cool cat man,,he will do it up really nice i'm sure...


I hope to get Dan Barnett to do my show sign..

 

Took the pics for GNRS tonight...Got the padding in cause Im doing the carpet this Saturday. Finally figured out the brakes!!! and still working on clutch linkage and gas pedal....Riley is shipping out my insert as well!!! It might be done soon than....(knocking on wood)

 

Sorry no pics....but I decided not to do the carpet myself...I really sucked at it. But I did get an Offy coloumn drop and my aluminum column tube in. Looks great...Re-painted the windshield...came out great and re-painted the dash rail...came out very crappy. Pics maybe later...battery charging.

 

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of a pic I sent in for the GNRS and A pic of the carpet I did....Interior is getting there. Im taking my time...

 

I sat in it and It looks like Im gonna have to sit on the floor to drive this thing....I guess thats what you get when you take 12 inches out of the inside of the car...Still working through alot of frustrating mechanical problems.....Brakes, clutch linkage...Finished Heli-arcing the steering shaft, so I can now steer the thing! So It runs and steers, now It just needs to shift and Stop! Picsmight stop soon, sence Im sooo close and Its not gonna change much...Besides It might get more people to show up to the GNRS.

 

Looks great saw this tread back when You first started it. Lots of progress and hard work. nice job I'v been keeping up with this tread from time to time. I love the colors you used and the seats are cool the wood floor is realy cool. nice work I can see you take your time and do it right looks good keep up the good work.

 

Looks like you are getting to a finished product. Looking forward to seeing it at Pomona in Jan.

Thanks man....I actually went through 4 yards of carpet before I figured up what was going on, but I can write down I did the carpet too! All the rest of the material for the interior is saposta be in tom. So here a pic of your surprize....do you see anything different?

Mine were handmade too!!! In a foundry! hahaha..Interior is expensive...why didnt you worn me!!! This might be the end of me and my bank account!

 

Chaning some stuff...probably should be working on brakes and more mechinal items, but i just got back from the Early Ford Store and got some bolting on to do!!...So Ill have some pics up this afternnon or tom.

 

I've been watching this thread for awhile but this is my first reply. I love the fact that young people such as yourself are getting into this hobby on the traditional level. And your eye and obviously your skills are a cut above. The devil is in the details and you're obviously keeping him well at bay. I'm humbled. I love your car. It's truly a source of inspiration for this old fucker.

 

Got some stuff done this weekend...despite the rain. Heres a few pics...Got the kick panels done, shifter boot and chopped and shapped my fan...

 

uhhhhhhhhh..... This is me speechless, been following along the whole way. if this doesnt get people encouraged to work on their car nothing will. Great work!

 

Oh and before Evel flips out...Im changing the Philips screw in the shifter plate...Wouldnt dream of having anything other than Slot oval for my coupe! HAHA..Mazooma stoped in today..talked about the GNRS...only 4 months left! Crap

 

Hahaha I wouldn't flip out...that your choice to have funny looking screws..

Yes interior is expesive...I think my interior was more expensive than my
Body and Rolling chassis put together,,Thats the price you pay for excellence..

i'm waiting for the "I finally drove it!!" post with pictures of your car being all done.. Every Sunday I hope to see it..

Dammit 4 months till GNRS..that shit is coming fast...
