Beauty is in the details. She's got details galore. Anybody know where I can get some cheap spark plug wires?
Holy macaroni , get to understand the perfection when you posted the detail shots, phenomenal attention to detail . For me its just the air filter that seems out of place, or am I out of place?? Maybe strombergs??
Congratulations on becoming its caretaker! He really put a ton of thought and effort into building it. In the detail pictures you posted I don't see any exposed fasteners of any sort. It's a shame about the chrome slots with gold lines they would've looked so killer on it. The rolling stock off of your Futurian could look mighty good on it though.
The fact that this car is all steel makes it even more admirable. The hammer and dolly shot made me realize the time and effort it took to complete this. Fiberglass is fairly easy to shape but this car is off the chart. Outstanding pictures. @Moriarity , you are one lucky guy.
Congratulations Mark, what a great addition to your collection, and the personal connection makes it that much more special. It's definitely in the right hands. Funny, the sketch looks like a restyled early Valiant but the finished car doesn't. He has amazing vision and craftsmanship, looking forward to seeing more of it. Can't tell from the pictures, what is the drivetrain made up of?
Old fashioned quality and craftsmanship indeed ! It's cool that you made room for this magnificent creation !
Fantastic car and it fits well in your collection. I bet that with the tires you intended to put on it would have looked even more gorgeous. It's really unfortunate that they don't fit.
That car is incredible! There are no 2 ways about it. I would not change a thing! Wow! What a craftsman he must be, I wish I had half of he’s skill and knowledge. Don’t know how I managed to miss this. Thanks Mark!
No sir I did not. I do have friends that knew him and they said he was a great guy and of course a world class upholsterer...
As I remember it, in this part of the country the regard for Jim McFall upholstery was right up there with what CA held for Tony Nancy or Martinez.
As everyone has said, this car is an absolutely awesome creation and couldn't have gone to a better caretaker. I saw the car at the Toppers show and think I lost track of time looking it over and just soaking it all in. A couple pics from the 2015 Toppers show... Do you have a copy of the 2015 GSTA poster that has the Predator on it? If not let me know and I'll get it to you.
Drive the tires tread off that muther, Blows my mind, I would to see that driving up/down the street !!!!
