Hot Rods 2022 Al Slonaker Award winner "The Gauntt Coupe"

I am still sitting here with my mouth hanging open . The pictures really give us a chance to appreciate the intense details. I don't have a medical condition , just drooling over the pictures. Someone posts a full picture of a cool car ,nice. But the devil is in the details right here.

 

I keep finding more great details every time I look. The 1/4 elliptic springs are awesome....
Well thought out and executed!

 

That is Top shelf workmanship and planning right there !!!!

can’t wait for the next batch of pics . I can look pics like these over and over again snd each time find something else that catches my eye .
Good stuff !

 

WOW !!!

 

"A thing of beauty is a joy to behold."

 

Beautiful!
Don't care for the windshield, but I'm not going to say it.

 

Nice!!!!!!!

 

I know you know how good you are, but you are really good.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What they said!
This answers the question in the thread "Where's the money".

 

Thank you everyone for the comments!. It is greatly appreciated. We put alot of work and thought into these cars, and it's great to hear from people who appreciate it.

Thank you! Making those caps work the way I wanted took way more work than I thought it would!

Haha! Don't tempt us!

Thank you! I'm going to tr to put together some more in under construction photos. I'm toying with the idea of possibly doing a youtube channel to show how I do stuff.

Thank you man. Always nice to hear from you. I hope you are well.

That's very kind, thank you.

Hey man, that's alright. I always say these are custom cars, so if we all liked the same things it would be boring. I'm glad you see some you like though.

I really appreciate that sentiment, but really I just think I'm someone who has spent the time and practiced what I do. I believe it takes problem solving skills, effort and time. But, sincerely, thank you man. I like the stuff you build, so I appreciate it.

 

These are some photos of the parking brake that I designed and fabricated. Lots of work in this! I should take this opportunity to mention, that nothing on this car is CNC'd. Everything that is custom on this car is either hand made, or modified by hand. The only thing I can think of done by automated machine, is the toothed pieces of this parking brake were waterjet cut.
I have photos of the process of this parking brake, I'll dig them up.

 

...Pure Cl***...

 

A quick jaunt in the Gauntt

 

I think that's most of what I have loaded at the moment. Sorry for any duplicates. I'll try to dig up some more. And I'll try to dig up some more in progress photos.

 

My God, the layers of detail in this thing. I do believe you were a Swiss watch maker in another lifetime. So, be honest, how many hours do you sleep at night?

 

The detail work is staggering, fabulous work, one of a kind, my hat's off to you and your craftsmanship.

 

Those little ****erfly shaped cotter pins look cool. Are they reusable? What are they called and where can we get them? They look like they may be aircraft sourced.

 

Damn. Just Damn......pure art!

 

My riding lawnmower has some of those clips holding the deck on. I think McMaster Carr would have them.....

 

Holy ****! The bar has been raised its up to somebody to top it any takers?

 

Thank You...
It's an Honor to get this view...
I'll say it again, Art.. At the highest level!
Outstanding!
An Your Guy's coffee mug's Rule!

 

I catch up on my sleep on the weekends! And luckily they are 3 day weekends!

@BamaMav is exactly right. I got them from Mcmaster Carr. They are reusable, and they call them bow tie cotter pins. They are cool, but kind of **** to polish. Haha!

 

AMAZING

 

X 2 !

 

INCREDIBLE!!! Wow!! Fantastic detail and craftsmanship. What are the 2 cylinders with what looks to be adjustment knobs on the transmission/driveshaft tunnel?
