Bump! :D
That's always how it goes. When something goes together smoothly and without issue, I am instantly suspicious and begin looking for things to...
OK, I still have the chassis, and since some things have changed, I'm going to clarify what is available and what it costs. I have removed and...
Just gotta go at it easy. Pick away a little at a time. Go about it like Afghans fight their wars: Don't do much at any one time, but never...
The body is now SOLD. The tube chassis and suspension are still for sale.
VERY nicely done, sir.
Very nicely done. Little notchers came out of the toolbox like, "This is my time to shine!" :D
I dig that striping around the button & lock cover. Very slick.
How are you doing the forming over the MDF buck? I know it's a stretching operation, I'm just curious if you're doing the forming with a hand...
Incredible. Domo Arigato, Mr. Zagato.
Beautiful work, sir. It's really a treat to watch a skilled man work.
If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid.
High speed nuns. You're alright, man. :D
Very cool little tub there. Even fits two skinny people. :D I'd have to put that thing on like a pair of pants. EDIT: Is that your grandma...
That IS old school. I was thinking a Bridgeport with a rotary table. lol Having VMC's around has spoiled me on stuff like that. Easy two op...
That's solid work. You cut those end caps on a manual machine or CNC? Damned fine result either way.
Very well struck, sir.
Mine were gone too, rotted clean away. I didn't even have to remove any fasteners to pull the body off the frame, it just came off when lifted....
Purdy. Them last two black as well, or dark green? Hard to tell from here.
Wasn't complaining or critiquing, more like expressing wonderment at how such an ugly mess suddenly turns into perfection when properly massaged....
Exceptional work. I particularly like the way that your pictures of the inner fender wells progress from "bag of hammered assholes" directly to...
These little fiddly patches with huge amounts of shape in them are the ones that always amaze me the most. It's hard enough making something like...
How do you post a reply to these things? I've got a guy asking me questions, and I cannot for the life of me find any way to reply him. Help!...
Damned fine work on that tail, sir. Slick as hell. Us oval guys gotta make 'em flat like that, so we can "walk 'em straight" again after the...
Slick looking job. Don't feel too bad about the pie cuts, I doubt every tail panel that ever raced on a champ car was formed with a doming mallet...
They're waiting in line at Oswego to get pushed off (supers don't have starters), so he might actually BE asleep. I know I have fallen asleep in...
Hand formed alum body panels that get mistaken for gelcoated fiberglass? If that's not mad respect, I don't know what is. Very well struck...
VERY nicely done, sir. You've definitely got some hours in fabricating that beast. Excellent result.
