Hot Rods UPDATE #11: Grille, Dash and PHOTOSHOP REQUEST for the LEGION SPECIAL!!!

Lookin good man!

 

man, that is looking great guys. damn, that really is sweet. can't wait to see it in person.

and this photo says it all to me:

 

Détruire: to destroy ...
Recherché: Very rare, exotic, or choice; arcane; obscure; precious; pretentious ...

 

Can't wait to see those dash inserts! *****in! Here's a photoshop idea...

 

Ugh. This thing just gets sweeter everytime I look at the updates. You guys totally rule it. Out of curiousity (maybe a dumb question), but would the br*** etch process work on Aluminum too? Love every part of this build so far. The grille is turning out perfect. I better stop now or my nose will be as brown as the initial concept drawings.

 

very lit punk. to create thru dirstuction even if your finllal product it worth less that its ***embled parts

or i'm wrong and fulla ****

 

Actually they are just...Search & Destroy

 

Bichin! See you tonight!

 

like i said fulla... but that its damn cool cheif

 

Thanks!

 

The vintage look.

 

That guy is just creepy in that shot.

 

Although no one's commented, I dig this idea. Eliminates the glare from the polished hood problem too.

 

Thanks Man. this photo is in my mind what we are after.

 

It's definitely a great option.

 

I like the scallops, but the difference in the down angle of the scallops as they intesect the body line, make the car look broken. Can you bring the top of the scallop (that is on the hood seam) down as well and adjust the bottom portion down, so it flows more into the trim line/ top of the seat/ hood seam.
Basically the front scallops and hood look separated from the rest of the car.

 

I agree...but it seemed like that was the bast option...when I tried to have the scallops follow the front they looked funny when they were behind the pipe. and vis versa like you mentioned...but at least this way the scallops flow with the respected body lines...although yes the 6 needs to be moved back further as mentioned earlier.

 

OK, here's some more progress from the past couple of nights.

Matt hand-bent all of the grille bars and got a little over half way wending them in. They'll get adjusted and finished next.

I got a little further on the dash pieces. Got the gauge hole to fit the gauge (the gauge was actually slightly oval), mounted the headlight switch and the two indicator lights.

But, before we got started last night Matt took me for a spin in his newly-running '37. ****, it HAULS ***!!

Holy **** that '37 has some tall gearing!

Oh yeah, killer work on the grill & dash too

 

Sweet gauges....

Dig the TIG pedal too......haha

 

what is thie gauge out of?!

 

A 2009 Legion Spl.

I could be wrong, but it actually looks like an early '50s Stewart Warner "all-in-one" Marine gauge.

 

Love the gauge Kirk!

 

Love it!

 

that bobs country bunker shirt is amazingly bad***.



the car is amazingly bad*** as well.

 

Damn! You're good! As close as I can tell it's from 1951. I saw it shown in the 1951 Stewart Warner catalog - in the marine section.

 

One of my all-time favorite bands!!!

 

So... Matt and Jimmy Rabbitte.. seperated at birth?

 

brother!!!!
