The roof is all done. Trimmed the front off and shaped up the sides. It will get covered with vinyl in the end so don't mind the 200+ exposed...
Thank you for your insight. I think I may hold onto it for a while and put some time into re attaching the letters and cleaning it. I'll enjoy it...
Wow, that a little more than i expected you to say! do you think it would be worth it to restore and sell or should i just sell as is? It does...
It is double sided and I have most of the letters, there are a couple missing. It's also illuminated, although the wiring is currently unusable....
Howdy folks, I saved this old sign from getting tossed into a dumpster this morning. It's big and heavy. Most of the letters had fallen into the...
It has a roof! I had originally planned on using plywood, but after studying real woodies and hucksters I thought plywood might look to flat and...
[IMG] I was looking through some pictures and found a picture of the day I picked this thing up. It's been 10 years I think. Time flys. I guess...
Unfortunately I don't have much time to practice striping anymore, but maybe once a year or so I like to do some striping or lettering just to...
Thanks I'm doing the best I can for a guy that didn't take wood shop. I thought about making a tail gate, but I decided against it. Because the...
I've only seen it happen a few times. It can happen if the bodywork is done in extreme humidity. The panel was stripped to bare metal and sat for...
Filler can shrink, but a lot of times what is shrinking is the primer. Some guys will not sand up to a fine enough grit, and they rely on the...
I'll throw my hat in the ring on this one. I am a bodyman, I work at a shop that does both production work and restoration work. On all production...
Today I was able to get wood on the back of the body and the rear gate. I just have to make two strips for the edges (next to the rear gate), but...
Well let's see... I've been back at work again so the progress has slowed a little, but I'm still picking away when I get a chance. I didn't like...

damn you're cool.
Man I wish it was that easy! I still have so much to do.
I made a little more progress this week. I decided to add a faux wheel arch to fill up some space. I realized I need to invest in some carpentry...
I just couldn't help myself, I had to put some wood on. I have to say I prefer grinding dust to saw dust though.[IMG] Sent from my iPad using...
Isn't Fluid film a corrosion protection / cavity wax type product? I would assume it it's already applied, you will need to thoroughly clean and...
It can be used both inside and out. Some hold their shape, and some flow more. Also when buying it, consider if it can go over bare metal, some...
I would want to build an original style Batmobile, but as a straight axle gasser. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It's not going to be a true woody. It's is just going to be skinned in wood. I bought a couple books on automotive wood working, and it made me...

It did sit lower in the rear, but now the spring is over the rear and that raised it up a few inches. Plus my driveway has a weird slope to it, so...
What a great build. Nice work. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I finished up the other door, and even had enough time to make a rear hatch. I found some nice looking hinges at Home Depot that will do the job...
I like that car, I have pictures of it from when it was for sale at some point. It looks like the wood was redone since them. Sent from my iPad...
