Hot Rods Modified Murray - Race to the road! Progress in Review!

OOOO! You just sealed your fate! As you can see, I'm going to take that as a challenge. And I LOVE challenges! HAHA!

No official debuts planned. Maybe Saturday breakfast one day?? I just want to drive it. HAHA! I'm aiming for... well... ASAP!

 

The ASAP must be a new show, I'm familiar with the GNRS and the LARS, but the ASAP, that's a new one. Must be every 10 years.

 

Yep!! I'm going to debut it at the first annual ASAP show! HAHA!

 

I...can't...wait...

 

The details are really beautiful, Scoot. I particularly like the edging around the floor holes, the tail, all that stuff. Somewhere between Industrial and Steampunk (in a good way).

 

Thanks Tony! That means A LOT coming from you!!! I always appreciate that set of eyes you have!!

 

That would be worth the cost of a NYC to LA flight, be sure to post the date.

 

Congratulations on the progress, but please don't get all shy with the pictures at this point.
Stunning car.

 

Nice scooter.... I keep looking at your build and it fuels my desire to finish mine and keep going. I also check out yours to give me ideas on mine! thanks!!

 

Thanks everyone...

Tired. Was here at the shop till late last night and I'm here again this morning. Knocked a couple more things off the list, but it seems the list keeps growing. Going to start some filler work today, just to take a break from some metal work. Most of the metal work is done at this point, though... I think.

Back to it...

OH! And the ASAP show is probably only going to have one car in attendance, so... Not really worth flying in for. HAHA!

 

I argue that point. It might worth flying in for. You never know you might have some friends with shitty RPUs show up to make yours look that much better.
OK, maybe that is only one. Dan's T is pretty cool

 

Another long day in the shop yesterday. I'm physically and mentally beat. Bottom of the body is as done as it's gonna' get and is ready for primer and Lizard Skin. Spent a lot of time just finishing retarded little welds that needed to be closed up, cut out and redone, or just taken down and blended in. Spent quite a bit of time on the drip rails as well.

I took some pictures, but... Someone challenged me that I would be weak and post more. And apparently there is a pool going? How are my odds?

Guess I could just post them on my blog...

Haha! Dude, I love your RPU and it's fun as hell to ride around in... And to drive!!

 

Really nice detail Scoot!

HAHA! Well, the "pool" was for this thread. Sooo....

 

I think if you tell us where they are posted and provide the link to where they are posted they are for all intent and purposes posted so you lasted exactly 2 days!! Well done!

 

Hahahahaha!

 

No I am not yelling at him, just providing a little positive reinforcement.
And by the way, I am offended at your comment.

 

Looking forward to seeing this, do they make an Ostrich skin as well?

 

What's this???

 

I'm going to stab in the dark and say Conduit for routing wires under the passenger side of his body. WIld guess though.

 

I'm sorry if your resemble my comment My reference was to the old Boyd TV show where Boyd was always ragging on his crew about a deadline.
But maybe you knew that

 

I can't believe this, but I think I am even more offended now.

Hey Scoot, If it will help I can come by the shop every so often and yell at ya. Would that help you out??

 

Thanks Paul!! I actually may have something for you to help with... I'll get back to you.

Well, I said I wasn't going to post anymore pictures in this thread. And I'm not...

...I started a new one...

Slipery move. What's the first rule of air to air combat? Cheat.
Yes, we are all enjoying your build. Later, Gary

 

Anytime my friend, anytime.

 

Scooter, i just found this thread, and am still going through it, just wanted to say, love the work, fabrication etc.
Amazes me the stuff some folks are capable of.

Man i go to my garage, and do this and that, make some brackets, do some wiring, rebuild engine,install new dash , what have you , all stuff i've been working on lately.
I come into the house feeling pretty good about what i've done, and then i see you building an entire car from parts,from the garage floor up, and doing it well.
Makes me feel pretty incompetent.

Ah well ain't your problem.

I'm curious, has anyone mentioned that your modified body reminds them of an old Bantam coupe, or is it just me?

 

It's been a REALLY nice break from this car, although I miss looking at it every day. I'm starting to get separation anxiety! HAHA!

We're closing on our house FRIDAY! I will finally own my own garage to work in!

Just hope this new 'ol bird can wait a bit while I work to get the car on the road.

Thanks man! And believe me, if I can do this YOU can do this!

Yeah, it definitely reminds me of a Bantam. Love those too!

 

Congrats, Scoot!
I just bought a home 2 month ago. I know what you are going through.
It's worth it in the end though, trust me.

 

Looks AWESOME Scotty! When's the housewarming?
