*Pics* Model A build-lookout Chopperman!!

Your car is great. I would give up my wheelchair and crawl on the floor just to have something that nice.

 

Hey Zoom, don't be destracting the man, he MUST have that thing at the Roundup next year! The boys down in Tejas are pullin' for ya!

 

that is definitely one gorgeous car. kudos

 

this is one amazing hot rod. there are so few guys that are building good rods right now. you are defintely one of them. ive actually been to your dads plae i think. if he had a 63 black corvair rampsde. i almost bought it. any ways id love to come by and check this thing out some time. i have big plans to build my own strictly traditional rod, but i dont disclose my secrets. im ramblin. nice rod man. good luck

rolling piece o' ART!

 

Dude...stay in the wheelchair..Ill take you for a ride anytime!

I really wanna get out to the ROundup next year with it...Itll be done in Dec...should be time enought to work the bugs out to get to Texas.

Yeah thats us at Miller Tree...Anyone is more than welcome to swing by and check it out.

 

I got my intake spacers made...fuelline is completly done and workingon throtle linkage. gonna try and fire it up this weekend and see how the pipes sound! Gonna try...no promises
One is the HAMBers pmed me and told me to send him a B&W pic of my coupe for his desktop....But I deleated his name...so hopefully they look here again and upload it from this thread.

 

all that i have to say is that car is truely amazing...........

 

Wow

 

I'm hoping it was Django for the 2008 HAMB calendar. Great looking car!

 

HAHA thanks...thatd be pretty cool...I just sent a few pix to Axle...Hopefully I can make it to the GNRS...it is the main reason for building this thing!!!

 

sepia tone.

 

REALLY Impressive work! congratulation !

 

what is the instrument cluster out of?

 

Its out of a 46 Chrysler Crown Royal Convertable. The best/worst part is that the front of it is curved glass and all the instruments are curved glass. Illtry and take a better pic of the dash so you can see.

 

Sorry..I tried all day to get a better pic of the curve...just didnt show that well. Guess you'll have to comeby the GNRS and peek over the velvet rope! haha

 

Cameras down!!! Sorry to all the photo lovers. But I got the manifold hold downs and manifold adaptors finished. The fuel lines are completely run and gas is up to the carbs. I did try and start and my battery was dead...so Im going tom to my battery guy and getting a new one!!! Still have so much little crap to do then start saving my money for interior!!! Pics tom maybe too!

 

It's a true work of art and a good reason to try to make it to the GNRS next year.

K...got my camera back up so I thaught Id throw up some pics of what I posted I did, before it goes under hidding for awhile. So heres thepics I promissed

 

looking really good!! Great progress pics.

I may of missed it earlier, but where do you find the clear colored wires? I found the colored fuel line, but cant find those. Any hints? thx

Cant wait to see more when you get around to it!

 

fuggin beaut. love it man. everything looks absolutely top notch!

 

They are just the red/clear lines...nothing fancy. You can get it from Mooneyes or Speedway and alot of other places.

 

Well I painted the grille and the headlight buckets today...gotta cut and buff them then lay another few coats on them. Then install. I should have them bolted up by this weekend!!! Yeah!

 

WHOA_HA!!!! I got me a taillight lens!!! Itsa coming...I got the stuff all sanded...paint tomarrow! and hang them Sat...Getting closer...Maybe Mazooma will swing by and film the car running! And he can post it for you all to enjoy...better get your earplugs out!

 

I haven't figured out how I missed the whole build of this car.
Its just simply gorgeous.
Definitely the build of the year.
Your attention to detail blows me away.

 

I'll be there!!!
Just tell me when...call me.
We'll capture the birth of the beast!

 

Got the headlights in and working...except for the ring and the grille insert its front end is done!...I tried to work on the linkage too...repainted and installed the cowl vent, still need the spring kit for it. Ran it a few times...Im uploading the video now and hopefully youtube wont dissapoint again! So here some more pics.

 

Car looks amazing..... Great work

 

Excellent, this one belongs at pebble beach!

 

HA..thanks but I probably could afford to put it in that show...Im broke as it is...who knew hot rods were so expensive!!!
