I'm thinking 50's chevy aspen green body and the chevy two tone darker green for chassis.I want the color understated.Like this,only shiney.
That thing just keeps geting better as you near the finish line. Can't wait for the utube of it kicking up some dirt on an oval or back lot. Frank
That is about the cutest little thing I've ever seen. I hope you don't hear that often. I really like the Cordoba wheels, I've been eyeballing a set of them, now I need to run over there and get em before they become the next big thing. That is a spectacular little rod, the exposed carbs really makes it work. That is so neat. Great job.
I like the back a lot... Still not quite feeling the side and front though... I think it needs a belly-pan and a drop-axle... I don't want that to sound too critical. I like it.. I just think it needs some refining.
Damn, Why must you do things better than me even before I do them, it's like your in my head. Anyway what you have done is rolling and rumbling ART And I love it.
That's about the cutest little thing I've seen in a long time.. Sorry, couldn't pass that up. Let me throw something on the table here. Considering the current state of affairs here in the US, do you think a guy could make a car like this, or similiar, and actually sell it? Just think what kind of possibilities that would open up. May sound kinda odd right now but that's how the car businesses got started...a guy, or couple guys, start this in a garage and turn it into a big business. Not really a bad idea when you think about it but, I'm sure the government would squash it. Then again....
Here's a couple more photos for ya, Dick -- from the Omaha World of Wheels last weekend. Congrats on the award!
You are a ruler Dick!!! Grandpa's are a huge part of a young boys life and it seems this ones got a good one. Awesomes bike!
Tess,she's my wife, sewed up some vinyl from an old theater seat that Whichever Otis gave me.I cut it up a bit and changed it around and came up with this. It's got to be 50,s era and is pretty cool
Set about making the chin today.Hey Nate,remember this?That's my sheet roller between the two hoods. Basic pan lay out.Some triming and fitting but it's getting there.
Hey man, The cars is looking good. We all dug hanging out with you and Rob Lee at the WOW show. Thanks for the updates.
Dick, It was nice visiting with you about the color combo on your car at the World of Wheels. The new pictures are awesome. It's nice to have a machinist for a friend. My nephew helped me out a couple times while we were building the 34. Gary P.S. I like the new additions also.
My day's off are Sunday and Monday so I'll be back after it tomorrow.I've took a couple of days off for my hands to R&R.They needed it to get ready to hang with the family for Easter dinner.
It's a dodge A body box,I think.I'm a Chevy guy I don't know dodges that well.They have cool steering gear though. Here are the links http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...oodlum+mock+up http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...hoodlum+framed I got the belly pan tacked together today.
