Why I don't post much...

I'm usually busy in the shop and that leaves little time to post, but here is the latest ride that has been dominating my life since December.

I'm building it for my buddy Don. He's a long time traditional rodder (And a great guy too!), but never had a car created just for him...until now. His '29 features an under-slung chassis constructed of 2x3 and lots of round tubing and is channelled only 3 inches, so he can still be comfortable. Engine is a warmed over SBC with a mild cam, 4 Rocjesters on an Offy intake with a Powerglide trans. Wheels are Radir as are the slicks, while the paint is SEM Candy Apple Mint Green. The attached pics are of the car just before it headed back to the upholstery shop on Friday. (The upholsterer had to do some work before the body was mounted to the frame, that's why you see some stitch work already).

 

Rich.... nice website, I dig the Holy Heck roadster. I was collecting parts to build something along those lines when I stumbled onto a 34 coupe body so my plans changed a little. I also dig the modified, oh and the sedan....and the roadster. Hell all the stuff you build is bitcen!!!

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!


Apprently the picture files are too large for the board, and if I resize them they get disorted. I'm working on it.

 

Christ! I'm glad welding is easier than this f***ing digital camera!

 

Another pic

 

I like your style

 

that thing is bitchin

 

Rich, is the front axle and parts chrome plated or have you found a paint that is very close?

 

More images...now that I figured it out.

Hi Glen, Chrome

 

Thanks, it nice to hear...Got any pics of your coupe?

 

Very nice work Rich.........

 

uh oh, do we have to go into the green paint is bad luck thing?


i never believed it until caffiene crashed his nice bike.



that thing is nice though, i'd take my chances and leave it.

 

That's some cool engineering goin' on there. I really like the STILL in the trunk. Nice car.

Wow... I got to thinking about how bitchin' this '29 is, then I popped in to see your website... total class act!! Phenominal car, can't wait to see it finished!

 

Very nice.

 

I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on "the still". I told Don (The car owner) that it payed homage to his southern heritage. Me; I have no southern heritage, I'm just a wise ass New Yorker.

 

It's in the very early stages but will be 60's drag style..I doubt it will be as detailed as the cars you build, at least not when I first get it running.

 

Rich, like the rest of the cars you build/ own... Its a knock out...

 

Damn nice, make sure you post more when it is done!

 

The detail is fantastic. Especially the fuel line! I love it.

 

The coupe looks great! I love the stance! Go man go!

 

It looks like a big model car in the first pics. That is some nice work, keep it up and definetly get more pics of it when its finished.

 

You are building one kool ride man...

 

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Don, who owns the roadster, is very excited about the project.

I've had an almost easy week with the car away at the upholstery shop....so I used the time wisely; I caught two sprint car shows this in the past four days - USAC on the pavement and the World of Outlaws on dirt!

I should get the car back soon, and when it's completed I'll post pics.

 

"It's not easy bein' green..."

super nice. imho.
