Show Off Your Before and Afters

Thanks Guy's
It's been a hell of a lot of work getting to this point. I bought that windsheild frame and built it from there. I'm learning as I go and having a great time doing so.


Kustomike, It is based on a 49 Hebmuller. It's not a real one but my version of what one would look like if it was turned into a rod. I didn't have the spare $110K to buy one and cut it up since there is only a hundred or so left, LOL!

Here's a orig Heb.

Started with a bare frame in feb.,and ended up drag racing it the first Sun. in June.

 

This is more like a "before and fairly current" than "after", but it's a big difference. It's been so cold I haven't touched it since November! Argh! The really rusty looking pics are from when I first found it, and upon first starting to work on it forever ago. The crossram pics were taken about a year ago. New pics to come once I defrost it.

 

Here's my pile,There will be the 32 inch tall vintage dunlop tires on the back soon,I'm waiting on the skinny 18 inch rims to put them on.

 

Where'd the time go?
