First of all, I was very hesitant about putting these pics up. Honestly the more I hang out here, the more amazed I am by all the quality work. Frankly it's intimidating. I started building this thing when I was 21 (I'm 30 now) and there are some things I will consider doing over. Haha. Over all though, I'm happy with the stance and the proportions. I'M NOT GOING TO CHOP IT! LOL! Now that I have it in my own garage finally, I've been able to start making some real progress. I'm not even gonna attempt making a build thread cause I never remember to take pics while I'm working. I'll have it on the road next summer. I'm really looking forward to it. Just thought I'd share. Oh, and a big thanks to all the guys on here that have helped me with my questions and stuff. It wouldn't be this far along without the HAMB. Thanks!!
I love it! sometimes you can be the hardest critic on yourself, that being said your a damn tough critic!
Lookin' DAMN GOOD my friend,I also feel the same way about the quality of others works, so you ain't alone! Nick.
No reason to not post pics. I liked chopped cars but I have to say, I do have a real sweet spot for non chopped cars.
what are those front tires? they have the carc*** of a bias ply but the tread of something more modern. motorcycle?
They are indeed spares from an s10 pickup. I was actually gonna ask about that. Are the wheels safe to use? I know the tires aren't any good for over 45 but what about the wheels? I really like the way they look and I'd like to just mount a good tire on them.
and yes, the wheels will be fine... i have a set of mustang aluminum spares for the front of my HA/GR, and cowboy bob ran a pair just like mine on his for two seasons with no problems... just get DOT tires... those emergency tires will eat themselves up in about 100 miles
Thanks guys. I'm really happy everyone likes it. It means a lot coming from this board. I know it's not perfect and it probably never will be but I think I got the basic stance and proportions looking good. I'll never be as good a fabricator as Littleman/B***/Sibley but I sure do have fun working on this thing!!! I can't wait to drive the heck out of it!!!
Very nice A coupe ya got there! awesome and congrat's on the progress, that rocks good to see you made it here as well. it's a fun place to learn. best wishes and thanks once again for the amazing scuplture my friend. cheers, cab
Wow, can you say perfect! Usually not a fan of un-chopped A's but this one is *****in. I love the stance man it's killer. And those front S10 spares look bad ***. It is my dream to build an A like this someday and would be thrilled if mine turned out half as nice.
Ok who wants a sound clip of the 400" Pontiac with an Isky cam and drag headers??? Yeah I thought so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R1dYFBQX4c&feature=related
