Projects My 32 5 window build thread..now chopped.

nice build mate,
cant wait to keep checking the progress

 

My goodness! you'll have an arm like POPEYE by spring..

 

Andy, see what you started...... hambers punching holes all over good virgin tin, 'cause of you.


How the heck do you guys get the slits so perfect

 

Yeah no shit! hahaha
Patience kept the slits nice, straight and clean. And when that didn't work, the thought of replacing a 500.00 + deck lid worked.

Guess i should keep switching left to right then! haha

Thats hysterical! I always thought WNY ventilation was rot!

Thanks guys, and Andy, thanks for the idea!

I seriously think one of us (you )should do a tech thread on them for the next tech week..it's as home brewed as they come and works!!

Tony

 

Tony,
Ya know, it's really nice down here this time of year. You're way ahead on this project. You should take some time off and come down here for vacation.

My garage is warm. My car is waiting....

All jokes aside, you are FLYING on this build, and doing a KILLER job in the process.

 

Vacation would be nice...hmm

Thanks man.
This was tonight. on to rust repair on it now.

Tony

 

Nice....

 

Well sonofabitch, that just turned out awesome man, NICE job!!! Now wait until it's time to sand all those little bastards for paint!

 

Louvers are frickin COOL! Nice work!

 

I thought about that after i set it back on the car..i'm sure it'll be fun! lol
Again, great idea Andy, i never would have thought about doing them at home..very cool! thanks!

Tony

 

Talk about a cheese grader, holy moly man, bet it took a lot of nerve for that first cut. Can't wait to see this car in person Tony.

 

RULER

 

those louvers look great. Awesome car really coming out nice

 

..and the car has primer now..

 

Yessir it does. I didn't bother posting that. Kinda think my updates are getting boring to most..

I shot the etch primer right before xmas. Got the body, doors and all 4 pieces of the hood sealed up.

Tony

 

Tony, looks really great, diggin the louvers

 

As of tonight, the trunk lid is just about ready to go together. The inner structure is repaired, and por-15'd on the inside, and the skin is repaired and that too is coated with por-15 on the inside.still need to etch prime them.
I can't wait to mate the two back together..
I also combined some parts i had and made up my tail lights too. just have to polish the lenses and they are done

 

Damn Tony, that looks killer. I am really stoked for you!!!! That rear 3/4 view has me wanting to work on mine!!!

 

Tony... I am not bored yet! keep it coming!

 

Tony - Very CL!

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Tony

 

Tony,
Good call on painting the inside of the deck lid before welding them back together.
I didn't realize that until after it was painted, and could see the primer through the louvers. Back to square one.

 

Hear hear, if anyone thinks there a single thing about this car that's boring they're in the wrong place! Keep em comin Tony!

 

Thanks Andy!
I appreciate all the interest guys. Help's keeping me working on it..

So today i did a little mock up of the grill and hood. Nothing is lined up yet but i wanted to get an overall with the chop. Looks goofy as hell without axles under it...like a hover deuce..
I'm not used to owning something like this with a hood so this is REALLY different for me!!
I like it, but still like it a bit more without..good thing it's not hard to remove once it's done. I know it'll be on and off a lot.....if the motor clears to begin with. haha





How do you like my power plant?


I should be starting the chassis by the end of next week.

Tony

 

Lookin good Tony....like those tail lights.............!

 

Is that an early prototype of the Mr. Fusion fusion generator?

 

Looking good Tony keep it up.

 

Awsome Louvers.... Very Nice Attention to Detail......

 

Is that another version of "Mr Fusion" ? whoops someone else said it first!

looks good
