Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

The car is really coming together nicely - great work and looking forward to seeing it up close and personal ....

 

You are a Madman! You certainly have an eye for a diamond in the rough!

 

Andy, you are truely an insperation to me. I look at what you have done and think to myself and think I need to move to buffalo. maybe something good will rub off on me.Jk i think what your doing is great. showdown. I dont think will be an issue.

you are one talented sum bitch. all respect headed your way bud.

 

I checked in this morning expecting the roof to be chopped, welded and in primer? You most be slacking off hahahaha!

 

chopo yer makin me blush... thanks bro.

Jon, I wish!

 

Damn dude. Great work on 'er.

 

damn where'd that 5w come from?

 

hes prolly shooting the last coat of base on it by now

 

BADASS Andy!!
I love watching stuff like this come together!

Tony.

 

I just drove past his house, he was waxing it and wiping armorall on the tires! Lookin good Andy, one of these weekends I'll have to stop over and check the car out.

 

This is coming along great. Makes me want to go out and find 2 chunks of quarter panel and part of a 4dr. Instant 5w

 

Dang

nice work.. plenty talent here!!

 

WOW
Great build.....SUBSCRIBED

 

Woah Andy! Looking Goooooood Man!

 

you ever get sucked into reading an entire build thread and, despite the complete awesomeness that has happened, feel disappointed that its not done at the end of the thread? Thats what just happened to me. Great work! I cant wait to see it all come together!

 

hey Jon, where did you buy your rear quarter panel corners? did they fit well? did it take alot of time to make them fit? thanks Jared

 

You talkin' ta ME? I'm andy, there are a few jon's running around this thread though... I got these from Howell's, they actually fit pretty well, surprisingly. The beadline on the side is a hair too wide and needs to be narrowed, also, the curvature is a little straighter than the wheelwell. They fit pretty well at the rear panel area. All in all, worth the money. A nip, tuck, and a little hammer/dolly work and you're in biz... probably not for a perfectly restored orig car, but perfectly suitable for a hot rod.

 

thanks Andy, I'm going to take a look at Howell,s web site and check it out. sorry about getting your name confused. I got real bad A.D.D. thanks Jared

 

No problem, me too!

Well, got one side almost finished up, still needs a little beating/trimming and some work along the gutter but damn... I like it! Cost me $310 in patch panels and about 4.5 hours of work so far.



Got a good start on the other side too...
patch panel to be...


tacked together...


bout half way done... I gotta say I'm really starting to dig this TIG machine. SO much easier to work sheet metal with!

 

Looking good there Andy, hope you're staying warm out in the shop not like the truck build.

 

Thanks Phil, haha notice the heater cookin' away right under the bench I'm workin at! TOASTY!

 

Andy,

Ive been watchin this thread every day!! Killer job man, I cant wait to see this thing finished!

See you in Detroit! Hunt me down and have a few beers... Ive got a copper AV8 roadster this year.

Rob

 

Thanks Rob, will do man, see you soon!

 

Wow this is turning out great! definitely a great build, thank you for the grill tech it will come in handy for a lot of us.

 

Dammit Andy! I told myself I was going to stop posting on your thread every time you do something... but I can't help it!

Out-fooking-standing!!!

I am going to have to figure out how to download this thread in case the pictures are gone by the time I get to mine.

Hero.

 

I will never complain about my POS again.....

 

Andy, it looks awesome! What kind of tig did you use - been kinda wanting one?

 

Killer work Andy, it's really looking good!

Brian

 

Thanks folks!

Kathy my machine is a Lincoln Precision 185 machine, very user friendly, nice unit.
