Projects '36DD - (My Double Duty 3-window build.)

Couldn't agree more; amazing talent!
Thx for bringing this back up, guys; I had forgotten about it.

Best, and most complicated chop, I've seen on a 36 3w coupe!
RIP, Bear...

 

Thinking of Bear (aka SurfCity) , taken form this world , 4 years today.
Hope he’s smiling down , seeing the progress on the 36DD
I got these pics , where it was on display , at the recent Surf City biannual Rod Run.
Keep up the great progress Sue , Charley. Thinking of you all .

 

WOW, Thanks for the update and pic's! Keep the progress coming please. Sure miss the guy! Stance is Everything!

 

That is awesome. I had often wondered what was happening with the coupe.

 

So glad this car has been taken on & progressed. It was one of the threads I looked forward too.
RIP Bear.
@Shrapnel thanks for keeping us in the loop!

 

An incredible build and very sad to hear of the builder passing. Please someone keep the updates coming on this build and hope to see it finished.

 

Another couple of pics for you all .
Exterior body is about 90% done.
All the small stuff still to be done .
Shrappy

 

Really nice work Looks awesome!

 

Thankyou, it's a beautiful car! Is the owner on here?

 

So is it a hot rod or a custom?

 

You took the words right out of my mouth.

 

He did a lot of work to that chassis to get the stance he wanted only to find out the bottom of that grill is the limiting factor without some surgery in that area!

 

Sue & Charley (Bears wife & daughter) have chosen to continue and finish the build for Wayne.

 

My understanding is , at this stage , it will still be capable of doing both .

 

Rear spring rates /air bags , on the rear are in the ball-park To cover both duties.
Overall , car sits 3/4 inch (top leaf to crossmember packers) higher than intended , with the option to bring back down once Sue is more familiar with the driving car .
Bottom of Grille is stock (currently) and are looking to add a chin guard to protect its lowest face etc.

 

I was sick when I heard of his untimely passing BUT thankful his wife and daughter want to finish it. Hope they are both healing as well as could be expected from this preventable tragedy.

 

So glad they are carrying on the dream. Say's alot about who Bear was & who Sue & Charley are!

 

This update is a welcome bright spot in an otherwise tragic story. Thanks.
