Projects Dreddybear's Model A Coupe thread - DARTH WALTER

Holy shit!!! That thing has the proportions of a Weesner painting!!! The wheels and tires look so fucking big and that is a compliment in the nicest of ways. I really love it DB!!!

On a side note, I want that Firestone sign in the worst way.

 

I hope I'm not disturbing your zen. But, I was wondering what 54 make that dash comes from.

 

Its actually a 53 Ford,,, paul

 

Hahaha!!! Nerd.

 

FUCK YES!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!

Reynold's rules!

 

Haha thanks man.

I dont like 28/29 visors either. I dunno about 30/31. I think I'm gonna make my own, sort of a shallower, sexier 28/29.

That's the best compliment it could get. Thank you!

If my sign disappears I'm lookin your way!

Whaddoo I look like, a walking car encyclopedia? Go film something

And that would be more than I paid for it

Me too

Kidding. The quarter and back pieces are rough right in the middle where I would be chopping it, I figured why not clean them up off the car and get em straight and good. Then I can brace up the body and get a solid foundation for the roof. I'm playing around with proportions right now. I just dont want it to look dumb. Meanwhile the doors open and close now so thats cool.

 

Nice man. you keep plugging away!

 

Started on the dash tonight. Kinda like putting a round peg in a square hole. God knows how this will turn out...





Trimmed up the back a tad..



Tacked her in..



Still gotta fill the speaker hole and trim up the ends then fill some weird spots here n there.. I kinda like it. It looks crooked at this angle, but it's straight. I may section it, we'll see.

 

Damn that looks shmexy, what are you gonna do with the corners of the dash? Im trying to decide that for my car right now.

Your car is killer.

 

Thanks man! Lotso pie cuttin and tuckin here and there. Then pretty up the welds and make it look good.

 

You said PIE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......................

 

Gotchya, I cant wait to see how it turns out. I need to figure my shit out, haha. I hope to see you/yall's cars when I get out to Texass in about a year.

 

The dash looks GOOD Man!

Nick.

 

Dash looks perfect in there.

 

Didnt get too much done today but I got the ball rollin on molding in the dash...

Poster board



transfer to sheet metal..





Tacked it in at a forward angle and "bent" it back into the dash as I was tacking. It's hard to explain but there's some weird curves in the dash right there. Had to stop early but I'll wrap it up tomorrow and clean up the welds.

 

Looks factory Man, I mean that in a GOOD way!Great as always Paul!Theres some real nice tags on this thread now, god help anybody typing in some of those into the search!

Nick.

 

Tasty!! The dash is going to pretty a pretty cool addition to the interior.

 

Thanks guys.

The whole point is to move the wheel an inch or so to the right because it's so big. I dont want to skin my knuckles on the door when I turn, ya know?

Lunchtime update...









All this'll get a skim coat of lead. On to the sides and front

Swept the garage today so I moved the car and took some outside shots. I gotta fix those trunk hinges!

 

Looks cool, can we expect to see it at the Round-up 2010?

Absolutely. It may not be painted, but it WILL drive to the roundup.
