Building a car from scratch

Thanks.... I've seen flex patterns on line but never really thought about how they were done.
I'll give it a try. Should be better than bristol board in some places.

 

That's pretty interesting looking. Got any more pictures posted anywhere?

 

Nope- I's not exactly HAMB friendly so I've never posted it here. The design is traditional late 20's but the powertrain isn't. My daily driver became a donor one night.

 

Bummer of the daily becoming an organ donor.

Do you have pics posted anywhere else?

 

Looks real good. The bright side is you dont have rusty panels to deal with.

 

No other postings but maybe will when I get more time. My insurance paid me more than what I paid for it and I bought the remains for $200 so I was happy about that. The bummer was 2 years before that I lost 4 collector cars along with everything else to a firestorm with no insurance. Years of work and parts collecting al gone and not even photos to remember them by.

I have a friend with a very nice English wheel so that is what started it all. Chassis is mostly done but the body is just roughed out. It will take some considerable effort so I've shelved it until I have better circumstances.

 

maybe for wimps real men make the atoms that make the earth and even manlier men make the quarks that makes the atoms.

 

Mines sorta scratch built...
