Keep it up Scooter!!!

 

I don't think you want to finish it! I think you're going for the looooooongest HAMB build thread,hahahaha!!!!!
I'm just waiting for a ride in it,Scooter...progress looks great!

 

Absolutely fantastic bro! Gives me a nudge to get out to the garage and get at it!

 

finally an update! your work is still incredible.

 

Looking good Scooter!! Great work!

And hey I doesn't matter how slow it's going - as long as it's going!!
(Which is more than I can say......)

Hey Scoot-

I know you were talkin 3003 aluminum for your roof panel insert, but in the interests of savin time have you thought about an insert off another vehicle? Maybe a 3th-4th generation Camaro/Firechicken cut out & trimmed to fit?

Even if ya go with aluminum and you have a wheel with a frame large enough to wheel out half a panel at a time, my money says 25+ hours to get a panel you'll want your name attached too!

WOW!! Just saw all these posts! Thank you sooo much everyone! I really appreciate the comments. Seems like I haven't even got to share the detail work yet. That's the stuff I'm REALLY excited about! I have every detail figured out in my mind and I'm ready to get on them! One step at a time, though. Of course it's hard to be patient at this point. The details are the fun part! Just gotta get through all the base construction and then on to that stuf. It will take a little more time, of course. But it will be great to have it on the road while I'm finishing up the details.

Bob! I always appreciate the rides, brotha! Can't wait to give you a lift for a change! I owe you quite a few!

Rex buddy!

Yeah, thought it over several times in my head. The time to make the insert is no big deal. Not too worried about it. I don't have to have it done to drive it, so I can take my time and work on it a little bit at a time. It will take me a TON of time, but I would rather have exactly what I want than settle for something that wasn't part of the plan. I've come this far, no reason to settle. If I screw it up, I'll learn from my mistakes and try again.

Mostly I just want to learn how to wheel a panel of this size. After making the buck, it really doesn't look as bad as I thought it was going to be. Sure, it won't be easy, but I'll take my time. I've been working with the wheel quite a bit lately and feel like I've got a good handle on it. Far from pro, but only way to learn is to pick up the material and go at it. The biggest thing I've learned about wheeling so far, is to stopping before going too far. Can't wait to get started on that panel though! And just to make it even MORE challenging... it will get 5-ribs riveted to the underside and a surrounding lip riveted on as well! Should be a GAS! HAHA!

I must be psychotic...

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Love it!!

Hey Mark! Shoot me a PM when you get a chance! I want to hear about a certain Hemi issue....

 

HAHA!!

Yeah! The roof like was KILLING ME!!! It still needs a little more work though many. I won't lie. I'll get there.

 

The car is turning out so nice! I can't wait to see it when I visit during my winter break.

 

With a little luck... maybe even go for a DRIVE!!

Dude! Thanks again so much for use of the wheel, bead roller, shrinker/stretcher, etc.!! Saved my life here man! Never would have been able to get all that shape for the tunnel without that stuff!

 

That thing is Nutso! I love it. That interior work looks great.

 

Add me to the "WOW" club, it is REALLY looking great Scoot!! You are really making some major progress. You gotta be excited seeing it come together.

Who do you think the first clown to say "I used to have a car JUST like this" will be???

Scott what tank are you using? I seem to remeber you got it from The Hot Rod Company? How are you planning on finishing it? I am looking for something for my truck and can't quite decide what to use.

 

Great vision and workmanship......

 

Looks really good..digging the hell out of it.

 

BTW Scoot, forget about it, this ***le is ALL mine!!


Dan

 

It just looks right...the stance is perfect...wheel and tire combo couldnt get any better for that car...the hemi...gives me goosebumps...

 

looking good Scoot. I might stop by for breakfast on Sat.

 

Go Man Go!

**** yea buddy it is looking killer, that motor is retarded sweet

nice work on the floors too!

Erik

 

yea, really. but does yours count as 1 or 2 cars?

 

I lost count

 

keep chipping mate, looking great....

starting to look like a car I used to have.....

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Scott, holy hell! Druss32 sent me the link and I'm in awe. The tunnel clearance and the roof opening detail are where it's at! It's funny how a floor of a car can inspire someone. I've got a few ideas for mine now.

So rad!

No need to say, "Keep up the good work."

 

Yep! That's from The Hot Rod Company. If you're thinking about using one, get your order in. They can take a bit to receive. He buys them from the one guy that's making them, and I think he distributes to a lot of the other big names that are carrying them. Looking over the tank, it's VERY good quality craftsmanship. I'm glad I decided to buy one!

 

OHHHH!!! He got ya' on that one Dan!!

 

Oh Man yeah!!! Great work!! You are going to have to wait a while to have a girl friend... You dodn't have any time.... LOL

Haha! Went there didn't ya! Thanks for the props man!
