Hey Flop, ya think the Poncho might be done for The Rumblers show in NYC in August? I'd love to meet you and see your car.

 

Flop, man you nailed the look on the car! A few ?s though. Whats up with the yard art, future projects? Also the flags, memorial day is'nt for a couple of weeks, JK.

 

very doubtful nads probably next year, i plan on taken it a bunch of places then . i think to round up , hunnert car, rumblers etc.

i still gotta ton of work to do and dont want to take it places not finished. still needs air bags all the way around all the frame work bumpers need put on and shortened . quarters need extended in the rear. needs re wired. gotta figure out what im gonna do with the front end and hood. 55 olds dash needs put in new column interior i could go on forever.

you bring up some good questions strike.
our land lord has a flag biz. so that explains that and my buddys seem to be obsessed with 59 and 60 cadillacs.

 

Flop, car looks great. It should have came that way.

 

easiest way to lower you car find you 2 fattest friends .
a few more pounds andthe would have gotten it where i want it haha ....

more and more i look at it im not diggin the hood so some serious work is in store for that.

 

FINALLY we get to see the full profile,,,,,that looks absolutely perfect,,,,,,,,

 

Flop, awesome job. Thanks for all the interior stucture stuff. Anyone who's ever done this can appreciate the amount of work that goes into the inner as well as the outer. "The mags" never show the time consuming and just as important inside work. And credit for going the extra mile on making it all stock as possible. Great job.

 

eh, i think it could have turned out better.....



just kiddin ya pal. The profile looks great. looking forward to seeing it up close in a few weeks. with any luck i'll cruise out that '48 tudor work in progress....if i'm not picking up a certain '36 ford that weekend haha.

looks awesome.

Flop, this really is the best thread (IMHO) thats been on in a long time.
I'm gearing up to chop my '49 chev, and I have just about filled my laptop's memory with nearly every picture you've posted!!
Keep up the good work, it's a real inspiration

 

Hey flop looks great. you had said you ordered the windsheild cut down, how much was it cut?

 

I'd like to see how its done
