The inner rocker also needs some work. Lots of rot.
Another view of the swiss cheese.
I had a few hours free today, so I cut out the driver side rocker just below the door jamb. The top is solid. So im not going to use the full...
I did manage to snatch up a 7 gallon keg. Im going to fab up a filler neck and mounts and use it for a fuel cell inside the trunk. Slap a vintage...

If you look up "bitchin" in the dictionary, there is just a picture of this car. The "bad attitude" willys. I love the 8 Stromberg carb induction...
Gotta love greg porter's car. My wife bought me one of his posters. That should look nice, framed and hanging up in the man cave.
I love that blue Studebaker...one of my favorite cars for sure.
Haven't had much time to really work on the car lately. Work has been brutal. The trade off of that though is i have good cash flow at the moment....
Thats cool man. Feel free to post a link up if you have a build thread. Not much to show. I've been busy doing little mundane, stuff the past week...
"Stitches" or "patches" lol.
Man. That thing is gorgeous. I showed my wife pics of when you first got it vs now and she was amazed that it was the same car. Lol.
That thing is bitchin! Thanks for sharing!
Haha. Thats great! Thats a good story.
That makes alot of sense. My front fenders arent too heavy. I can probably cut some of the factory bracing out of them then just fit and weld some...
Ive been doing a little reading on www.fibreglast.com and am learning alot about making a mold and all that blah blah stuff. But in the mean time...
Might have to do that. I've done a little reading, some say you need to make a plaster mold of the fender, then fiberglass the inside of that to...
Got the door stripped today. Found one small spot that is gonna need a small patch. Nothing major. Going to fill all the trim holes too. But thats...
Man. I love the injected olds idea. Cant wait to see more pics!
Yeah man. On a vintage style race car, to me, i want the lettering to stand out. Even if that means sorta kinda going with a blandish factory...
Slow going over here in my neck of the woods. Ill be glad once the stripping is all done...at this point, I wish I had just sent it out to be...
Have any of you or know of anyone making fiberglass molds of factory body parts or have a good link to someone who has? I am wanting to mold the...
That thing dangles the tires nicely! Thanks for the video man.
I like the factory paint idea. I am going back to the factory mint-blue paint on my ford gasser too. I honestly am prob just going to spray some...
Got any more pics man? I am building a 53 myself. Good luck with it!
I use a phosphoric acid tile cleaner I get at home depot. Works great to neutralize rust. I dilute it with water and then use a scoth brite pad to...
I saw that last night! Its a low deck intake too. But I am probably 80% sure im going to use a tunnel ram at this point. Thats a good price on...
Haha. Yeah. Ive seen the gas monkey garage gasser. Love the graphics on the side and the name is perfect. Here is the car that I am using for...
Thanks man! And yes. We will be up there. We went to both of the ware shoals races recently, the rained out one and the rain check race. Had a...
Also finished stripping the rear quarters. Its all wet looking bc I wiped it down with metal prep and let it do its work. But slowly and surely...
