Hey Flop did you ever consider using a camaro windshield or something similar and just cutting it down to fit your opening. Seems like it would work then you wound have safety glass all around tha BIG car. Just trying to think out side the box my friend. Joe

Amazing work as usual Flop.....I love following your builds

 

you are very talented

 

OMG ! this is unbelievable ! fuckin skills and ingenuity ! you kill me each time Bro !

 

thanks alot everyone !!!


here ya go rockable just like i said weld grind hammer file repeat.

a pretty damn boring 16 minutes except for bruce springsteen in the back . hopefully you like him atleast.

i did all the hammer and dolly work after because its a pain in the ass to climb in and out of the car.

 

bruce springsteen is awesome!!!!

nice video by the way. keep up the good work man. its good to see people taking the time to do correct metal work.

 

thanks johnny g!!!

takes more time but def worth it in the end!

 

Ok, Flop. I get the weld, hammer, grind, file, hammer grind bit but here is my other question. Do you have a helper? There are lots of places that you cannot hold your own dolly and hammer on the weld. If so, how do you make sure he/she is placing the dolly in the same place as you are hammering?

Thanks, Man!

 

heres the help rockable .atleast she makes you feel like your not talking to yourself all day . but i usually just play contortionist and alot of the places i did welding you cant hammer and dolly any way .ie lower quarters alot of the scoops etc.




noone else at my shop except for the first day i had help lifting the roof off and on .

 

heres the back window finished up .probably close to 50 or 60 feet of welding in teds car .that was the last of the major welding!!!

 

Looks great. I´d love to see some overall shots, if you have time.

 

once the starter goes back in there will be plenty mr james d!!

 

Flop that is perfect

 

I just got a chubby

 

C'mon Ted. It's hard to get the effect of the top with the car sitting so damn high... I know, I know, in due time.

Great work flop

 

Tell me about it nowaxn5.
I'll be installing the lowering blocks before Flop can unload it off the trailer next week!

 

Hey Ted, what, no C 4 suspension underneath it ? Are you doing a static drop or putting it on air ? You're gonna have a bitchin car when its done. Who's doing the interior ? hehehehe

 

glad you like it ted!!!

thanks everyone

should start on the stainless welding today and minor touch ups on the body all week .

 

Now this is top notch work..The skill level is out there.. Great work and I enjoyed ever big of this post..Ill be watching this close!! Man what a job!!

 

Very cool video Flop!! You are a craftsman.

Cool shop dog!! They are good company and dont give as much attitude as most people do!!
