Thanks Sinister. I like the satin because it does have a bit of a shine to it, unlike primer, but I like the "vhat is dat, velvet?" texture a...
Thanks, Aman. I am not doing the wiring myself, but I will pass along as many pictures as I can.
Final assembly has begun! The head unit looks even cooler than I thought it was going to.... [IMG] [IMG]
This was my favorite car of the show:
[IMG] Does this help?
When do you expect it to be released and how will you be releasing it?
Well, here it is painted and with the body back on the chassis. We are now in the final stage. Hopefully everything will be buttoned up in the...
Well, apparently that non-metallic gray color you see there is referred to as "second coat of primer", lol. These guys sure are thorough. I'll...
Thanks. I am checking into the specifics on the paint, but it should be a "light satin black", so it will probably end up closer to black than...
Few pics of the body being painted. Getting so close I can taste it..... [IMG] [IMG]
Evil, that is really good to know. I really don't give a crap about whats on the title, but I was worried about whether or not this would affect...
Stony is a good man, thats for sure. They are having an open house at Oddball Sat Aug 23rd. I won't be able to be there, I will be in NYC for the...
Thanks for all the compliments guys, they are very much appreciated.
36Couper, I think you just named the car. Thank you very much. That is a very interesting post on the nine of spades. I never knew that so much...
Thanks Man. I actually got the seats from a dealer in the UK, Europa Specialist Spares and Motorsports. I couldn't find a dealer in the US which...
Thanks for the honest feedback. I used bags more for ride quality than the "laying frame" look, which I am not a fan of either. This is meant to...
The body just got primer'd yesterday, and painted yesterday night/today. Its easy to tell from the pre-primer pictures how much attention to...
Here's a couple of pictures of the body undergoing the finishing touches before final primer and paint. Sanding is a slow process and doesn't look...
I'll have some new pics soon of the painted body back on the frame, ready for final assembly. The shots of the sanded body don't look all that...
lookin good!
Splinter, Thanks for enlightening us on the head unit. I was always wondering how a pure tube unit would draw enough power and not put out too...
It's a Hot Heads adapter for Chevy to Hemi distributor [IMG] Distance is 4" above deck surface, hope this helps.
What he said, lol. Yeah, I mean, even If I were running an electric car, I assume all the jostling of being in a car would not be the ideal...
Well, I guess the technical answer is that the tube is the replacement for the transistor, which produces amplified power for the stereo....
Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited and I think she looks pretty awesome as well. Scooter, I don't have any pics of the adapter on hand, but I'll...
Thanks, much appreciated. I'm bummed I missed the show in Wilmington last year, but hopefully when we're done with the build I can cruise out and...
Thanks guys, appreciate all the compliments. Here's some new pics of the rolling chassis, some with the engine/tranny mounted. Soon the underside...
And finally catching us up to date, the body with some of the weld seams getting a bit of a smoothing over. The trunk and graphics. Thanks for the...
The body went to the body shop for primer and a little touch up work. The frame and the chassis parts have been painted with black urethane, so...
Needless to say, I was pretty stoked when we found those old hemis in Ohio. I was also pretty excited when I found a pair of "Chrysler Industrial"...
