Projects TELSTAR: onward, forward, , ,

i've been making some pretty good progress on the car and just wanted to share a few recent pics with you guys. the "skeleton" for the rear sheetmetal is almost finished. i've still got some welding to do, and i need to fabricate a small floor section from the gas tank to the back of the car, but so far, so good, , , ,then, it's onto skinning the rear with sheetmetal....

 

I am glad to see this project still chugging along! I love this thing!
one of the best builds on the HAMB.
Will we see you at the round up? look for me next to The "Roswell Rod" stop and say "HI"

Man,you must have balls of steel,all that work.Gonna be sooooo kool.

I love the lines.

 

Sweet work man, you have some mad skills. Next build from scratch??

 

You're an animal! Keep going!

 

OH GOD, NO!, , , ,
next one will be much simpler, , , ,but that's what i said about this one

although i do have some pretty crazy ideas rattling around in my head for a future build,,,,,,

when i am finally done with this one, i plan to drive the wheels off it and enjoy it for a while,,

 

It is great to see some updated pics/progress on this. Glad your move went well, you've setttled in, AND GOT YOUR *** BACK TO WORK ON IT!!! CHEERS!!! I really hope that when this one is done, I can somehow see it in person. Can't wait. Thanks for the update.

 

Glad to see you back Jim.

 

So how will the trunk open? Regular with the hinge in front?
Or maybe with the hinge in the back? I think the hinge in the back would be interesting.
Maybe the truck could hinge down the middle like a Model A hood...

Lookin' Good...but I'm concerned about those 2" X 4"s in there...I know it's hard to weld on them ...but bondo sticks to wood real well ...I'm trusting that's your plan...

Like the way you've changed the door (again ). . .Any chance of close-up pics on that?

 

Glad to see some updates on this build, the trunk skeleton looks good... I think

 

Is this a different car? When you left here you had a car that was almost together!!!!!

 

Very cool.

 

I continue to be amazed at the skills of HAMB members

 

You are a crazy man!!!

Keep it up MAD MAN!!

 

Lookin gooder! Love the build and updates make me drool

damn man... this just keeps AMAZING me... every new step is dead on

i for one am ready to chip in some money if you ever hit hard times and tihnk about sellin it, i think we should all get together then and help you through your issue.. i personally never ever wanna see this car leave your hands :0)

 

Looking good Jim, need to stop by when I'm down at the shop...

 

Wow, I want to see it in person looks like its gonna be way out there! so cool

 

What happened, you forget the trunk back in Jersey and had to build a new one????

Lookin awesome, Jim!!

 

Glad to see you're making progress. The sweep of that deck lid works much better than the Chevy hood did. Wish I could still check the updates "in person", but you missed a ****py Winter up here.

 

hi Jim! you have balls of steel! ha ha....looking better by the way!

Like the new lines.

 

I don't think that roll cage will p*** NHRA tech.......

 

That thing is really ****in crazy! Is it going to have an operable trunk lid or ???
Dave Hitch

 

still playing around with that idea, but at this point i'm planning on no trunk lid to keep the lines as streamlined and smooth as possible

 

I know you just love a big round *** Jim!!

 

man, i miss that car,,,,,
have you gotten any work done on her yet?
