Hot Rods SNEAK PEEK: The LEGION SPECIAL Can See!!!!!! SPY SHOTS!!!

Matt Seret (Seret Speed & Custom) and I have been back on the Legion Special. I know, I haven't made any updates in a while, but there is one coming in the next couple days about making the ****-cast E&Js from eBay usable.

Thanks to Crafty-B for rushing the raw mounts out to us, and thanks to Steve's Auto Restoration for the killer service and top notch repro lenses!

I just had to post a couple shots from tonight because we are so stoked on how it looks with the headlights.

No they're not aimed yet. Yes all the front aluminum and grille insert are just sitting on there for our quick mock-up.

The new deadline is DRIVING down to Del Mar for Goodguys in April, which may even be fodder for a new TV show....ssshhhhhhhhhh...you didn't hear it from me.

We're also back to thinking about leaving all the polished aluminum exposed, silver painted "****pit", black frame and suspension, small tasty red numbers ala early Mercedes etc.

Oh, and you'll notice the windshield template's in place too.

Next week it gets blown apart and **** heads for nickel plating, sandblasting, paint booth etc.

Anyway, here it is...










I'll add these for those who haven't seen the whole car.




















Hmmm...wheel disks??

 

wow.........







I mean............WOW

 

Looking great! Best use of those headlights I've ever seen. I usually hate those headlights, this is the first time I've seen them on something and liked them. Keep up the good work.

 

Nice....really different. Was wondering how progress was going, thanks for the update Kirk

 

What a kick *** car. You sir and both a mover..........and a shaker.

 

excellent

 

VERY Nice........

I love it! everything looks awesome, and I like the idea for the overall finish too.


I know you're not an indoor show guy....but I'm just thinking out loud, that the Legion Special would look pretty sweet as part of a potential Inland Emperors' display at the 2011 G.N.R.S?

 

Nice work!

KIRK!

When you have finished with it I will take it off your hands to free up space in your garage.....

P.

 

I agree also, best use ever.
Most times they look like a second thought....
But here they flow with the car...

 

Many congrats on the project, well planned and executed

i didnt think this car could get any cooler than it already is, but damn those lights are magic.
if there was a top ten of hambers rides, this would be up there.
cant wait to see it when its done!

 

Kirk...you are cooler than Fonzie!!!

 

Now there are at least two cars that I like those lights on,
the Legion Special and the Frank Mack T'.

 

That's bad *** for sure. I agree with putting an arch in the windscreen.

 

everything he said!!

 

Very nice Kirk!!

 

That ****-pit looks snuggle-riffic .

In a word--- rad.

A supreme job, well done and it's nice and shiny.

 

nice!

 

Yikes!! In-frikin-credible!! Thanx for the update---~Sololobo~

 

Oh man, that's a really awesome!! Dig the way you have placed and used the e&j's..... are you going to paint it like the starliner....haha

 

Like it a lot. Looking forward to the installment on the E & J's but they look superb in my opinion.

 

She's beautiful yet menacing.

 

*****in car...one more vote for the bare aluminum finish, Kirk...kinda reminds me of the Zach Suhr roadster.

ps...what about dirt trackers on the back?

 

Looks like a blast!!!!

 

looks amazing!

the only thing thats killing me is the windshield i think the posts need to be angled. heres a very ****ty photo shop.

 

i love this build and im sure whatever you guys end up doing will look great. just my worthless .02

 

cool....see you at Del Mar
