Yeah, had a hellof a good time!! SWMBO said, as I walked in the door at late thirty sat. night "Looks like you had a good time". I wanted to get in on some cutting and stitiching, but it looked like Paul, Keith, and Beetle had it covered. I'm up for it again next year.
I think I would like to do something different next year. Maybe a section or something involving some lead work.
If you're itching for something different, you can come up this weekend and do the quarter patches on my wagon
I would do it again too. It was a lot of hard work, but at the same time, it was more fun than a barrel O monkeys. I can't wait for the next one.
something different sounds ok too, like maybe a straight axle, rear end and big motor, transmission swap? a gasser roller in two days.. Paul
LOOOKIN good guys, wish I could of made it out to watch. you baily's goin out to the arlington reunion next weekend.
Hey Theo, don't think I'll get to Canada anytime soon. My ass still hurts from the border reamin last time. No Arlington either but I will be at Seaside if anyones going.
thanks, anybody notice we forgot to ask for the thousand dollars? oh that's right, this aint California Paul
Paul, Nice try! This is a traditional 50's board. so I figure the labor at about $2.50 an hour and by your estimate of 16 hours that comes to about 40 bucks a head. But the knowledge & friends we gained was worth a million. see you next time Jim
Sound like you guys had a blast. As a bonus, the chop looks like it turned out great. I like the new line. Not too much, just right.
Didn't get to see the finished product on Sunday. But the work I saw you guys do Saturday was great. Would have loved to help, but it looked like you guys were almost stepping on top of each other.
[ QUOTE ] HAHA, that cracked me up Paul... I was actually thinking about that today... [/ QUOTE ] so that means the checks in the mail! Right?
What rear window was used? that isnt the stock one? that chop is bad ass, i have a 49 chev buisness coupe that i really wanna chop, but its really round......
the back window is from a 52 chev.... I think it works out pretty well. I like those business coupes, the even look good with the stock roofline, just put the car on the ground!-J.
one more picture if I can live as long as beetle here and have as positive an outlook on life I will die a happy man. must say again it was a pleasure working with you and your son, later, Paul
