I'm out
Because this thread is much the same as many of the other threads about customs in which custom enthusiats can't talk about customs without a...
Threads like this make me wish I never got interested in customs, or cars in general, or people
I took my 40 chevy body off the frame by myself. Putting it back on, I of course didn't want to scratch anything, so it took 5 friends.
I usually would air up the back of the car to start with so I can get the jack under to something solid and centered, jack it up, put in your...
With as much hassle as it sounds like you have to go thru anyway ... it may be quicker/easier in the long-run to just unbolt the bottom of the...
You might also try deflating the tire on the side you want to remove. Also ... I think it is good idea to have a schrader inline somewhere in the...
I realize this crappy photo doesn't show it that great, but I can't get out and take a better photo right now since I am recovering from a broken...
It sure looks like the door frames were also welded into the roof on Buster's car. It just looks a bit skinnier with the chrome trim covering part...
When I made my hardtop window frames, I started with square tube so that I could bend it without it kinking. Then once I had them shaped right, I...
You really did a nice job redesigning the front end - looks great, really compliments the rest of the car
If that aint a gorgeous shape, then I don't know what is.
I just can't get the image of that bobber from your initial post out of my head - such a cool bike!
Glad you're on the mend. How did you end up with a plate with the same numbers as Jesse's original car? If it is custom-made, can you register it...
I believe it is no longer owned by D'Agostino, right? And the new owner decided on a refresh (which I do prefer the new interior, and of course...
Looks like great work being done there, hope you post more of it
I think that if the part is well designed enough that it compliments the design of the car, then heck yes, let it stay. Shaving everything off is...
The Stardust Merc is THE most influential car of my life. When I saw it at the Sacramento Autorama back in the early 90s it completely changed my...
I've been told that only Sikkens brand primer/sealer should be custom tinted to create your own color. If you add tint to other brands of...
I gotta think those are 1-off custom made, both the lens and bezel But I was wrong once before
Hey bruce, did you receive the spears I sent?
As far as the 'continental kit' look goes, at least he attempted to integrate it into the car rather than just bolt the whole thing off the back...
Could be that, due to the layout, one of the pulleys does not get enough belt wrap-around, so that the belt does not grip the pully fully enough...
Getting a sail panel to look graceful has to be about the toughest thing to do Yours are tits
I have these spears that you can have, if you will use them on this wonderful car. I only have 4 though, and you need 6.
This version looks perfect to me...now the bulge under the scoop makes sense.
And we certainly appreciate what you guys invented. Not that I don't marvel in the level of perfection that today's painters are capable of,...
Those guys may have considered the paint "amateurish" and nothing special, but it would be hard to improve on that layout. I've always been drawn...
Interesting that they went with a GM style grill. I know it is not really a GM grill, but a custom one done in the style of an early 40s...
Not bad for an Eskimo
