Dang, now thats awesome build!

 

Wow it's tough to take apart a running hot rod.
Way worth it seeing it all chiney after all this time.
(been lurkin for a while)

TP

 

WOW this things finally getting done. looks good!

 

Man looks great

 

Killer build.

I have loved watching this thing come together.


.

 

There are some speakers in the ceiling, plus if you look behind the passenger rear wheel you'll notice an Ipod tower. That thing can crank! Lots of Fu Manchu. And Slayer. And D E P...

 

Man this is gonna make LiveWire look like a total clapped out rat rod. Just kidding Evel

I am very excited about this thing. I need to get the chromer cracking (did someone say crack?)!!!!

 

Man, the motor and frame look great.. Hell of a job....

Looks amazing!!















MOAR!!

 

Did you make the front engine mounts or are they from a kit?

 

Your hard work is really paying off..looks good.

 

The engine mounts are the same for a hemi. I think I may have shaved a sixteenth off with an angle grinder but for the most part they're identical. You can get a kit with the biscuits and frame mounts from hot heads.

Here's a shot with the upholstered inserts.

 

Haha Thanks man.

 

Hey Paul.
I've not been around here for a while,shit,that car looks good!
Hope you,your good lady and,of course,Mitch have a great New Year!
Mark.

 

hi Paul, car is looking awesome, nice chatting to ya the other night.

I'm hoping to make it over to Austin later this year, maybe catch up

 

Thanks guys! Steve, let us know when you're in town so we can have a pint.

My updates are sporadic at this point. I think I may start a new thread and organize..

some pics:





Fuel log is sort of floating:



Made a vinyl insert for the back wheel:




A goofy one for the steering box mount:



Definitely decided to chuck these ugly ass headers and chrome the manifolds.

 

Purdy.

 

Way over the top. I dig it!

 

Looks great Dreddy! I love the abundant use of uphostery.

 

looking great, keep cracking at it.

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Paul its looking great mate, really looking forward to getting a closer look, I like the upholstered parts.
Will keep you in the loop on out planned trip.

 

Haha DRuss they were different in my head I swear. The turns were tighter when I imagined them. I couldn't pull it off, but I had to try.

 

Wait... where'd the last post go? ^ That was a reply to Druss, but it disappeared?

 

Great looking car, good to know about the engine mounts. I always kind of thought that but hadn't tried yet.

The exhaust is great too.

 

I thought it was funny!


I've given myself til this weekend to finish up the chassis details, paint the pumpkin, clean up the carbs, get fuel lines routed, etc before The chassis gets tucked away and the body work starts.

 

Dammit! I LOVE this thing! Just keeps getting better!
