Great work as usual Mr. Shifter. All the work you're doing now is great stuff but I still can't get over the chop and that stance. All killer no filler.....well maybe just the tiniest about of filler haha!!!
Thanks JJ...the painter came by and he also commented how a very small amount of filler is needed...so that made me feel good. I can't wait until he gets the car I need a break.
Me too damn it. I hope to be driving my '35 there next year. I'm not going to set deadlines on the rest of my shit. It'll get there when it get's there.
I'm already planning on coming back. I've got more places to eat since I couldn't make it to half of them... the hotrods will be a bonus.
I will put a better picture of the color divider at the rear of the side trim to rear bumper. I made from steel to be chromed it is ribbed (for pleasure) and somewhat goes with the factory ribbed pieces already on the car.
Skip, The shoebox sure has a traditional Kustom profile. Sits just right and looks great ! Looking forward to seeing it in paint ! Dave
"...the color divider at the rear of the side trim to rear bumper. I made from steel to be chromed..." Cool! I was wondering how you were gonna seperate the color break, since the trim doesn't rap around the back anymore. I knew you wouldn't skip a detail like that, and that you must have something in mind.
godamn son!! im blown away by this car.. its hard to make an exceptional shoebox, with all that has been done already.. but you sure managed anyway! looks so so f'ng good!..
It is funny you say that Mark because my wife asked me where my Kustom roots went? That is what I was into before the Hot Rods.
I replaced the wraparound rear window in my shoebox Merc with an F-1 unit because I happen to have an extra cab that was free.

Grille mock up with the bumper....I also fabricated a 3/4 inch column drop to position the steering wheel slightly lower.
