    ...and a bare driveway!!
    It snowed again last night here on the east coast, but only a couple of inches. I'm so frikin sick of this ****. It warmed up to 40 today and we had some good melting going on. The driveway was clear and it was about time to sweep the garage out, so it was time to push the sedan project out. I'm hopin to have it ready to pull down and do th efinish in a couple of weeks, but it was great to see the project out in the sunlight and get a few pics.

  7. Hey LeadSled...love it! How about some details on how much you channeled it and what is the kickup on the rear end?

    Cool car, too bad about that stuff you call snow. It was 80 here today while I was mowing the lawn. I also had to put on sun block working outside on 53 F-100 tailgate. Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in, a few more months it will be 110!

    Thanks guys. I was great to see it outside. The next time it sees the light of day, I hope I'm driving it!

    WildWilly68 - I've put up 4 or 5 threads on the build of the sedan from the frame up. There's a drawing with dimensions of the frame in one of them. Just do a search using "LeadSledMerc".
     
  12. I like it. Looks like it has some power there too.

    That first ride is gonna be fun, trust me.

    Looks great....I'm looking forward to seeing it out this summer.
    You remember summer right?

    Oh...what a nice piece of iron you found there.

    That's just what I would want.

    I love the "suicide" front end.

    Gotta' get you a "Moon" tank and some outboard headders with plugs.

    I'd drill holes in the visor.

    Did you make your own ch***is...? Tell me about the ch***is.

    I wanna' see when it's done.

    what a great ride. Such a nice car.


    As for the visor. No holes. I hate holes. But that's just me. I'm **** when it comes to lines. Think it's the graphic designer in me.haaa.

    I did a search on Google... It didn't produce anything. I'd like to see your drawings. I work with AutoCAD and I'm doing some drawings for a Model-A frame myself.

    Ummm...

    I tried that too...didn't work either. I copied and Pasted "LeadSledMerc"...nothing.

    I can understand not wanting to drill holes. If they're detachable...I would get two and drill one...and have it both ways.

    Keith,

    That is coming along impressively well. Can't wait to see it in person. Better yet, ride in it.


    Maso,

    Click on Leadsledmerc's name under one of his posts and choose the 'see more posts from...' option to see his previous posts on this car. voila, there it'll be.
