Hot Rods Winter Project Modified build from scratch

I've been busy the last couple of weeks, I'll more pics later this week. Got the grill shell done, just need to trim it for the grill and do the metal finishing. The belly pan, for the most part, is done and needs to be trimmed underneath . Right now I'm about to finish the hood.

The hammer form for the winshield lip on the hard tonneau didn't work out to my liking, so I'm about to get back on that via a different approach.

I've been struggling with the finer points on the hard tonneau, but I should be able to post some pics in a few days.

 

I'm loving it...so much so I am immediately going to subscribe to this thread to keep up with your progress. It's going to be beautiful and I 'Tip My Cap' to you, Sir!!

Wow that's metalshaping.

 

amazing work rich.... this is one I do not think I would fit in

 

You can catch a flight to NC and I'll fit you for it and you can place a down payment!

 

That's sick! Thanks for sharing your project.

 

Got the grill made. I'm still fussing with the tonneau. Hopefully tommorow I'll roll, I mean carry, it outside for some better pics.

 

Looking real good, I love watching good metalshapers work.

Oh no, I'm not falling for that. It could lead to strange, emabr***ing and maybe even provocative pics posted on the web!
