Needs WWWs.....

 

you're tellin me! So does the hudson though. That is a 40's car. It can't go without them.

Workin on the hood right now. Had a few real bad dings in it and rather than chase it all around the hood and work harden the hell out of it, I chose to cut the **** out and replace it. Waiting for welds to cool sux.

 

Body work and welding on a flat hood sux I have decided.









Damn. I just realized how fuzzy those are. Sorry bout that. They looked fine on that little screen!

 

to cool!

 

so. The hood fell off of the table after I left the room. That ****ed. Screwed up everything I had just fixed. Now I need to get another one and redo all of the custom work I had done to it. The problem is, I am out of money and christmas is comin soon so she has to go! Check the cl***ifieds!

Now for some progress. I HATE wet sanding some times. When you get a piece of grit stuck in the wrong place and it gouges the **** out of your clear? Yeah. That is what I hate. So I spent the whole day trying to get the roof right. She is almost there now. A few more small scratchs and she will be there. Well, the roof anyway!

 

Looking good man. I feel for you on the hood. My hood wears it's shiner on the tip from doing the same thing. How bad could it be??

 

s**** pile bud. bad.

 

sweet car

 

thank you sir. Where at in CO?

 

im about a hr east of the springs

 

I know a few guys from out there. What do you have for a car?

 

nothing really cool right now just a pair of 75 fords pick ups a 65 galxie 4 door and im trying to get back my 61 unibody that i was the 2nd owner of

 

who do u know

 

That ride is soooo nice.Love the work !!!!!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

Thank you. It as been an experience for sure.

 

Check this out! This is exactly how I picked it up in Laramie Wyoming! Ugly huh? Hard to believe it got this far! Thanks to a good friend for the pic!

 

Damn! Do you have an identical quarter shot of the car as it is now? I think people would **** a brick if they saw a before and after like that. And you're right Shannon, if I hadn't followed the build I'd find it hard to believe it was the same car. Talk about making beauty out of a beast!

I am trying to get one now. The first few pix of the post have an OK shot of the quarter damage, but I am looking for a better shot. And thanks btw.

 

Hopefully this is sold. Got to get out from under it so I can build the next one.

 

I was wondering just yesterday how the Hudson project was coming.

 

car has come along way man ,,,,,

 

I have been to busy tryin to get this one sold to get he money for the hudson. I found a parts car local that has what I need to replace. Gettin ready to get on it. Hopefully after the 1st of the month. Fingers are crossed.

 

Cool! Looking forward to the Hudson build.

 

Stay tuned for some progress soon. Getting some taxes before to long. So then I can get the last few things this girl needs done. Still for sale though!!!!
