Customs De-Roadsterizing Shainerman's Shoebox

I wouldve loved to blast it. Next time if someone wants to volunteer to do it for free I'd be more than happy. Untill then, Ill keep being a cheap ass

 

You're going to drive by the guy's house (who tried to chop the car in the first place) when you take it home, right? I hope so... And hang your camera out the window so you can get a shot of his face as he turns to look...

 

There it is! Turned out nice enough I think.

As far as blasting its was gonna be almost 200 bucks and a week or 2 wait to get it done, to spendy and to much time wasted.

 

Jay gets a gold star for the day,,,nice work

 

Came out nice Jay, good job.

 

What can I say?

 

Man, thanks again Jay, ive been tinkering with it all day now. I cant wait for the shitty weather to pass this weekend so I can get in some grinding time.

 

Jay does pretty good work; I might let him work on my car now

 

Looks good and some great looking work but I think I would have gone ahead and chopped it while I was at it. That way you would only have to have the glass cut once.

Thanks for sharing this with us Da Tinman. I learned and picked up a few things that will get used on the 48 in the upcoming months when I build the new cab and in the process fix all the hiccups that are in the old one.

 

So cool. Awesome job man!

 

Beautiful!

 

You're a friggin' stud! Great work.

 

Well, here's a few shots to give you guys and update. A lot of hours on the grinder, shot it in cheap primer to keep from rusting, and now on to putty and finish work.

 

Wow. Does that light colored primer ever make the top look TALL! Are you sure you didn't add any to the posts? Seriously, it looks great.

 

Wow! looks lots gooder man!

Its stock height, I cheated and measured mine!!

 

I just noticed the fiddy-seven wheelcovers! Now I know you're cool!

 

looks better already

 

Looks great! Much better than when Jay had it.

 

fucken sweet! looks fucken great! so when you chopping it???? just kidding!

 

Haha, you guys are all right though. I sat out in the yard for about 10 beers, i mean minutes, and thought about how tall it is. But I think its turning out good. I just need to drive it for the rest of the year. It needs a lot of little stuff, so Im not going to get serious about the body until winter. I like the paint, but it was already someones idea, so Ill have to make it my own. Im thinking suede blue??? Feel free to photoshop it all you want

 

My jealousy for your skills is incomprehensible.

 

Looooking goood, but....
When we gonna race?.....

 

Nice work, a good save!

 

Looks great,awesome job!!

 

Great work. Plus I learned a new trick. Thanks for sharing.

 

Well, all i can say is thanx! The 1/8" gap trick has a lot of applications i can think of other than unchopping a roof!
It sounds so easy but actually goin straight w/ the cuttin wheel aint that straight forward!

 

Top notch work.

 

Perfect!

Outstanding work from a very gifted craftsman.
