Flop, after reading this whole thread, and after seeing the things you have done just on this ONE project, I'm pretty certain you could make any piece you wanted from scratch. Yeah, it's winter, big fucking deal.. Fuck 'em... you can do it.
well i believe i have a set of quarters on the way they are paid for so we shall see what happens this time!!! after dealin with a bunch of cadillac assholes( All Cads) that want 1000 a side for 4 doors quarters found a reasonable guy in cali for 100 a side so im happy well im back in the saddle after some heavy drinkin and a night at the titty bar. got the rear bumper narrowed and tacked together heres where we started sorry for the shitty pics digi camera bats are dead i layed the center section down and traced it to the bumper ends and cut it out made the bumper bracket all one piece instead of 2 i dont kno why just seemed like a good idea in my head well as i can see now in the picture the passenger side of the bumper needs to come up a hair but you get the idea i really like the 53 bumper guards i dont kno why just somethin about them . i think its the gaudiness. but since i narrowed it now i will have to addd to the bottoms of the bumper guards to make them fit the bumper you can see the big gap now . i will also have to add to the back of the bumper where its gonna meet the splah pan to make it straight all the way accross.
"i really like the 53 bumper guards i dont kno why just somethin about them ." Maybe they remind you of the titty bar
I think the bumper guards are the booze talkin. Or maybe the titties, I'm not sure. I predict you will eventually lose them in favor of something else. I think there a little bulky for the clean rear end. Lookin good on the bumper though!
flop...if you do end up changing your mind on the guards..check out the guards on a 49 caddy (the fronts)...they have a little bit sleeker look, and would adapt over pretty easily..
hahahaha!!! that fucking car was driving me nuts i needed a vacation the bumper guards will most likly go to the corner of the shop for something more refined and more flowing if thats possible.(what slownlow said) i like them but they arent for this car... just there right now to get an idea of whats goin on and to cover the welds . i do like those front bumper guards jim gotta check out my 49 caddy guy up the road and see what he has. probably right k13 haha i already tried that chadillac it still looked bad so i kno it must be real bad then ! thanks guys also found out today the state is takin our shop which bloooooows!!!!!
flop if you want you can bring EVERYTHING to my house and sleep in the basement, drink my beer as long as you finish it here and I can watch (and help) everyday!!! Looks good man, and hope you find a shop soon to keep the progress going!!
popo if i come to your house can i have the truck.. ive been watchin that damn thing on ebay and wantin it!!! thanks zed havent heard from you in a while thanks vanhorton ratster do they have titty bars in alaska nexx?
Flop, Great work! You are an artist. Saw these pics of the 38 Buick Y-Job today and thought of your project. Stay as warm as you can. Have room for your project in my shop in Orlando. http://www.conceptcars.it/usa/buick/yjob.htm Bill
thanks built. yeah 2 years ago today i got that car and to think it was gonna be a daily driver haaaaa! thanks bill well got the bumper moved up on the passenger side and ssquared away got the center tacke din place for good and now gotta go get some plate steel to make a piece for the bumper. also have to start fabbin up a ssplash pan for in between the body and bumper. i guess since the bumper was narrowed about 7 inches it needs some metal added to the center section to make it straight all the way accross. that is tomorrows mission. an an idea how it wil llook when its done with a plate on the back wish i could smoot then bumper out but i dont think there is anyway possible. so im gonna have to section the hell outa some bumper guards to get em to lay pretty tight on the bumper and hide the welds and the indent from the factory.
I just read and looked at this thread and you have impressed me beyond belief. You got some serious skills!
Not titty bars per se, just strip joints. If you visit stay outta PJ's unless you're into seein someones Grandma dance.
titty bars what we call the strip joints around here for some reason dont kno why. hahahaha!! the titty bar we got to is like a block away from the local university so tons of college girls!!!!!
Nothin' wrong with that. I always understood 'titty bar' to be a topless bar, but those never really caught on here (not for lack of people trying).
well thats a damn shame nexx!!!! there were some crazy laws here for a while no nipples had to have pasties on then all hell broke loose laws repealed and now its all nude haha !!!! sorry for the non car talk guys gotta get this straightened out first!!!
