I first went in 2013 and finally am going back again this year. I'm taking my dad and son with me, because it's something they both need to...
I'm in Daytona for work every December and January. The Ocean Deck Bar on the beach is a place I always try to visit.
Phil Cool! I have been to Clermont Ferrand to the Michelin facility. That is a beautiful area. I am in charge of the Ford GT racing team, so I...
Nice hot rod Phil. Where in France do you live? I have come to LeMans for the past several years for the 24 hour race.
I'm with you Uncle Bob. It appears from pretty much every photo that the maroon on the doors is a different color than the rest of the car. I...
I don't know about lacquer because we don't shoot that, but it is my understanding that all of the DuPont automotive paint will eventually be...
We shoot DuPont Chroma System single stage, and we are very happy with how it lays down. The only tricky part is that it dries extremely hard, so...
I guess I'll chime in although I'm a little late to the discussion. I own a paint shop that has been applying the spray on chrome process for...
I can't believe I haven't seen this thread until now. I'm building a Graham also. I think mines a '27 but I'm not really sure. It's chopped 6" on...
I thought those were enormous clecos...until I relaized that the sheet metal work was for a tiny car!
Hey hotrod 49, do you have any more details on the plastic you used for the interior? Thickness? The trade name for it? I have a couple of...
Ha! Plowboy, we were trying to figure out what part of that orange P.O.S. was pre '72. The owner was certainly proud of it.
Cool. I've been trying to make it by your shop for a couple years now, but never find the time. I'm a friend of Bill Carters and live just a few...
I'll be at Indy Goodguys. No Japan for me.
Love the truck...but the picture of Cuz, not so much!
I'm planning on being there. I hope it brings flashbacks of the many swap meets that I attended there with my dad when I was a kid.
Ha! I didn't even think of a camera. I was just enjoying the moment!
I work for an Indycar team, and today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I got to meet the great hot rod artist Robert Williams. I was walking...
Last batch... Mercedes [IMG] [IMG] '40 Nash [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] First time using the iPhone app...it rules!
More... It's deceiving how big the Stutzes, Duzenbergs, Cadillacs, etc are. Even though they have the same basic shape as a Model A or Deuce,...
I believe this is a Talbot Lago, but not sure what year or exact model. It was rolling out to take a lap on the track, so I couldn't get real...
Yep. They're definitely out of my price range too. Interesting the amount of parts on these cars that our kind deisre...Woodlite headlights (and...
I snuck away from my paying job to go check out some cars that were invited to IMS as part of the Centennial Celebration. I'll load a few pics and...
I've known Bubba my whole life, and he never ceases to impress me. He's like Wolfgang Puck with a can of SPAM too. He can do it all!
Dykem. I get it at the local machine tool supplier. I'm sure its available online.
The Spring meet is usually not as big as the Fall meet, but still worth going to. The key, as with any swap meet, is to get there early on the...
Very cool, Rooman. Nice to see a real hot rod getting driven. It's truly a testament to Joe's build quality.
I've got one just about like it that I'm getting close to firing up. I'm anxious to hear it since I bought it without hearing it run. I was told...
Separate names with a comma.
