I would think they could slip on and off with velcro or something{At least thats what I would have done,but what do I know "0"}
Impressive,hat off the the Jersey gang....is amazing how many details on this thing....and the vision too...cool shit!
well done guys the truck looks fantastic, one of my all time favs!! Just wish I was'nt sitting here in the UK looking at pic's ..... wish I was there to see it in real life!!!
your not much of a fan of poles or any kind of roof holding apparatus hey peddro. the truck looks tits can believe just how bitchen it really is. great job fellas.
does this one have a 6 cylinder like the original ?? if not, what does it have for an engine ? this thing came out awesome. here's a link to the original kopper kart. http://www.barris.com/gallery_cars/Kustoms_HotRods/gallery_kopperkart.html
Great work guys the last time i saw the truck it was ''in progress'' at last years Lead East....back in '66 I put a phone receiver and holder under the dash of our new Riviera Red Rivi that had thin whitewalls with chrome reverse wheels purchased from Duffy's in Red Bank ,the car was also fogged in a Cadillac gold by my friend Terry Browning and yeah many thought the phone was real but like t.v.'s and record players thats what you did back then....if you are back in Jersey dont forget us at the 14th annual Fathers Day Cruise to Jersey Shore Car Show at the Long Branch oceanfront.

So, is Chopolds walking around the show in big furry slippers like Barris at the Coachman Show??? Great work, guys. Another reason to be bummed about not making Autorama this year.
Man that sure looks sweet in Cobo ! Guys you should be PROUD!Mark, Vic Ron and the rest ( You know who you are)Congrats! Mike
You guys sure as hell pulled off your goal.All I can say is it looks great,congrats,and bring home some gold back to Jersey.LETS SHOW THEM GUYS OUT WEST HOW WE DO IT IN THE EAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Excellant job. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person tomorrow..if it ever stops snowing up here. It really would have been a blast to be standing beside Barris when he first saw it....
This was my first stop when I entered the hall. Got to meet and talk with all the guys involved in this incredible undertaking. After looking at the photos of construction activity, one gets a good sense of what an achievement this is. Congratulations to all involved.
I just got home from cobo and was shocked to see it behind a pole it deserved better! great job and one of the reasons I went this year.
Wow, the truck looks amazing. I was really looking forward to seeing it in person but could not make it. Great job guys!
Pictures of this truck are not nearly as incredible as seeing it in person. It definitley should have been placed up front. One of my favorites of the show!
I think unimpressive is what you meant and there is nothing unimpressive about the truck. These guys put a hell of a lot of work into making the truck. It would take you days to find all the "kustom" work.
It sure looks good. How close is it to the original? What source material did the builders work from? It's like seeing someone who you had heard had died long ago.
It is just like it was in '58.The entire truck was built using the small magazines as a reference.Plus pics from various sources.
Sadly this truck is just kind of tuck away at the show, near the back and away from where it can be really appreciated. Very cool indeed. Pictures must have been from thursday night as there are no people walking around. What a flash back!
It turned out really nice guys! Be proud! I wish I had a nickel for everyone that thinks/thought its real.
Just a gorgeous truck! I got a few nice shots of myself. What a talented bunch that put that together.... Joel
I think they could put it in the parking lot, and it would still be exemplary. The team that worked on that master piece should be very proud!-MIKE
