    Thought I show you guys what I'm building here in the Netherlands.
    Its something like a Speedster and/or Hot Rod on a A-Ford chassis and driveline.
    With a basic idea in my head but the detailes will change during the build........

    That's .063" aluminum...here... Nice to work with, real nice yield with the smooth curves, and rivets galore!
    This is an exciting project!
    (recall the new poster began the project with 'No specific plan, but an idea in my head, and the details may change'. This is the stuff experts are made of...)

    @De Konjel I have edited this post as you are in process of downsizing/compressing the images and that will make a marked improvement in loading of this Thread for all involved...Thank You

    @De Konjel this latest pic I believe is great. A re-edit on images in your previous posts it will improve the experience for all of us.

    There are several Threads that suffer load issues to the reader unknown of course and Huge MB images are the culprit...We thank you for that on top of your unique build...;)
