This is totally normal. :D
So a lot of people have been throwing the whole "a lot of talent" thing around lately. I'm pretty sure there is a bunch of old timers scoffing at...
I'm just going to run these for a while until I figure out what I want to run. The brakes I'm going with (maybe) will require a large wheel like...
You might be on to something... Most of the time I'm so tired that I'm lucky to just get the pics up. :)
I got a little carried away on this next part... I wanted to build a new sub frame for the front suspension because I totally cheated by using a...
I know it's been a while since any updates have been post. I'll give you the highlight reel of progress that has taken place!...
I'd gladly be a "poser" with a cool looking car like that.
This wasn't something I wanted to put in the classifieds but, I know people are interested in good deals on equipment and thought this would get...
Sounds like you got a smokin' deal on that machine! I'm on the prowl for tooling for mine. There are some things I can't make on my own right now...
Maybe for the guys in cali you can head to my shop one weekend and play with it once it I get it up and running. I've never used one before so we...
You are on pro touring aren't you? I'll give this a shot to explain it... So the piece that lower tool holder slips into has four bolts, a roll...
Quick update... I just dropped the lower piece of the pullmax off(what holds the lower tool holder) at the machinist to get a 25mm spacer made to...
Nope I don't mind at all.. I paid $4150 plus shipping (which was around $1300). The P9 is massive it still hasn't really set in that I finally...
I thought about that.. I made a few others that didn't work as well. I'll modify them by cutting off one end of the wrench to make it work I...
After searching out a good deal for a machine that I wanted I found one on eBay. I must say while this battle isn't over I am really impressed...
So I made this today, just another thing to add to the back of your minds. I got fed up with my tungsten getting messed up from the torch sliding...
I actually moved the build over to here. http://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?89377-53-Plymouth-Belvedere-Build

I spent the day doing the center console... It took me a while to just get this far. I had to clean and organize the shop today, it never seems to...
This week I received my steering column in the mail so I could press on with the pedal placement and the seating configuration. It's an...
Seat brackets I've designed.
Here is some pictures for my shop I made using this app called Photosynth.. it's pretty neat. It actually makes a 3D version you can view along...
Here's some pics I took. For whatever reason I'm having trouble uploading pics.
Just so you guys know I haven't given up on this build. I've only been back two weeks and I did get a chance to order a few things. I'm still...
That's a good point, I saw a bead roller "table" if that makes sense. It had an adjustable fence so you could make nice straight beads or angle...
I'm not sure what the tool holders look like on this one. I have yet to see one in real life so I can't begin to imagine how it all goes together...
With over a 1000 posts I'm sure of the DIY built bead roller thing is boring but here is mine anyways :)
I've found a few Nibblers for sale and I don't know much about the machines in general. After watching a bunch of videos on YouTube it seems like...
Are you going to try and vacuum form the tail lights? I'd be interested to see how you could do that... maybe a tech write up? :) I was thinking...
I'll give you guys a time lapse play by play if you will. I plan to make these through the rest of the project. I hope you find these entertaining...
