Looksway more startrek than vagina on second thought....
And isn't Vagina a good thing?
That first layout was with no thought, just kind of sketching. I've been studying design and am starting to form a manifesto of good design...
Thanks! They were more work than bargained for, but we're pretty stoked with them!
Like what? in what sense?
It's been awhile since I've been on here, I'm still working on that 54 chevy which is getting real close to paint. [IMG] I've moved shops, and...
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Thanks for all the well wishes. I wish I could go quote by quote, but I go into custody in a few hours, If anyone feels...
I had a 250 6 catch fire on me in the Salton sea, at the slab city riot, Rigged the single carb up to limp it back to Phoenix, was short on money...
So the last update with pics was a little deceptive. It seems like everything on this car has been done twice. When we originally did the...
Thanks! BTW, I love your car. By far one of the best chops ever. Sincerely. Taking the time to quarter your roof makes it so distinct! Do you have...
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] That little arm with the cotter pin is keyed to slide into the latch, so when the solenoid is hit it turns the latch from the...
Why do Kustoms disappear between metal work and paint? haha. Fuck, It is so close to painting. Started mocking the trim up tonight to get an idea...
Updates soon. About to get about 90% in primer, with a few little surprises thrown in!
That's my buddy Fish's Buick. I'll let him know... Fish said, on the filming, it was far from "reality". Their prices are pretty nuts. It's fine...
That was a good listen. I'm glad to hear the 1/4 windows were a bitch. Going through that now with Roger's car, LOL.
Barney has rose from the dead. The semi- jank split manifold had broken off and it was down for a bit. We got his fenton headers installed, fixed...
moved some stuff around, got 1 side done. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] In the last pic you can compare the new left side to the old right side.
Plus body solder is 30% tin and 70% lead, so you can't just melt down tire weights and what not for filler! covered it! :)
Next, put your new lead chunks back into the pipe, and get your form ready to pour into, I set it on top of another piece of metal so I can move...
I am so stoked on this, and so will any of you who do lead work. In my opinion the biggest drawback to using lead is the cost of the material. A 4...
Stellar work! One of my favorite cars being built. Can't wait to see the lifts done!
I have low self esteem Nads. Actually, I dont give a fuck what 90% of people think, your one of the lucky few who I'd LOVE criticism from. Smooches.
Geez Nads, your so mysterio. Taking it your not digging the tail lights? Critique me wise one. :)
55 Chevy bezel. I'd bet grafting a 55 fender would be more work.
Thanks alot! Christ I wish I could've seen a sneek peak inside the quarters of moonglow cause this was more work than I expected.
Geez, we have been busy. The last couple of nights some of the local Rumblers guys have been down at the shop at nights to help with the 54. It's...
I just bend it through a little hole in the welding table, then smooth it out with a hammer over a dolly. Keep in mind this is just a super rough...
Got the tail lamp housing roughed in... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
