    Hello from France,

    Some pics of my hot rod project in progress.
    The idea is a car in tradition of the french coach builder of the 30' (Saoutchick,Chapron,Labourdette,Figoni-Falashi......) but with a modern V8 engine,the inspiration is a "Buccialli" very little french builder in the 30'

    the first part of the project,a 32 Ford fordor body very rusty and without roof

    Not a Ford 32 Shell on this project but a "Delage"shell and Bugatti Headlight

    First mock up :D

    Great fabrication skills and the design shows the European influence. Looking forward to the finished results, going to be very interesting.

    You have got a great eye for the details and a great hand to bring them to fruition, great looking project so far. Love the air cleaner and seat trim you made, looks fantastic.

    Hi,
    Nice project! There was a replica 1932 Bucciali TAV2 build in Holland in the eighties on a Chevrolet Caprice chassis. I liked that car a lot. I hope yours will be as beautifull!
     
  25. Excellent workmanship. You must have been a coach builder in a previous life..;)
