Projects mini UPDATE #19: The LEGION SPECIAL Is a ROLLER and is out for UPHOLSTERY!

Here's a quickie! Matt and I got the Legion Special back on four wheels. They're not the wheels or tires it will end up with (look for black 17" wires and Excelsior Comp Vs), but it needed to roll onto the trailer to head to the upholstery shop TODAY! The rake is correct, but the actual wheels and tires will be another 2" taller. We wanted to have the nose and belly pan last more than the first mile.

It should be leather-clad when I get back from Scottsdale on Monday!!!!

CHECK BELOW FOR A SEAT SNEAK PEEK!

 

Coming together and looking sharp guys! A lot of hard work to get to this point.

 

Awesome! looking forward to seeing it completed.

 

Its guna put a horn on a jelly fish !

 

cool ****

 

Damn that was quick. Just yesterday you guys were doing jazz hands and the car was in a million pieces. Maybe there is somthing to all that snuggly stuff afterall. Car looks great. Keep it up.

 

Lookin' good.

 

Kirk hate to say it but I loved looking at it in metal
Although its gunna look killer when done
Dave Hitch

 

I know, I always like stuff in bare metal, there just seems to be more potential, but it had to get painted.

 

Hey Billy, got any neat '40 Tudor parts around?

 

Not even half done and its got a killer look to it, I think once again you nailed a build firmly in the perfection end of the spectrum.
Awesome dude, keep up the great work.

Doc.

 

Seret is da man builds killer ****! Did you see P dogs front engine dragster I herd he built some nice panels on it?? I havent seen it yet need pics. Sorry to jack the thread consider it a bump
Dave Hitch

 

I didn't see the latest panels, but I saw the top one he did earlier. Always quality stuff!

 

Sweet! Looks great! Trying to be patient here... hurry up!!

 

Next week should be really productive. Matt got the car to the upholstery shop yesterday and it will be back on Friday. I get back from Scottsdale on Monday and should be picking up the powdercoated 17" wires and the Excelsiors should be in. So, TLS should be rolling on its real setup.

Then it's mostly just wiring, plumbing and re***embly!

 

So are you changing up the Wide-fives out front, then? Wires will be very cool!

 

This has been one of the best build threads ever - thanks Kirk.

 

Oooohhhh, the upholstery is underway! It's kind of funny that Matt had to explain to the upholstery guy that we were fine with the parts of the leather hide that had "character". The funkier the better. As long as there's not a hole....run it! The back of the seat is vinyl to make sure we don't run out of leather.







I'm not sure if this means that Ralph likes it or is looking to kill his lunch.

 

That brown leather is perfect! I hope to have something very similar in my '32 one day.

 

Thats gunna be cool. thumbs up!

 

thats cool,,

 

looking good!!

 

thats a cute dune buggy!

 

That thing's gettin' so killer, you gonna need to take a he**** out with ya when ya run it.

 

***y!
