Oooooh yaaahh!!! Always a classic touch from that era! :-)~
Thanks... Here's something I added today... Hope it will make the interior pop when it's all done..Not finish with it yet... But this may give you the picture I'm shooting for..
couple more..
People will appreciate the extra effort when they look inside!
Nothing like welding overhead!
That looks awsome though!
Thanks...
Not to much welding was done on the overhead.... I built it on my table and welded it all up before putting it in the car... Much easier...:)
In my part of the country, this would be covered in surface rust, AKA "patina" in the morning!
you do fine execution of a very novel idea.
Thanks for sharing your progress
Added a round bar along the bottom of the body to give it a little flare when it's all done..
That bar/tube at the bottom gives it a nice soft looking edge.
I was just wondering what this will weigh when done ???
The look keeps getting better and better, and it looks big until you're in the picture - going to be a nice rice, and a head turner for sure. Still think it'll come in under 2700#? http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=36
Thanks....Yes it will be under 2700... I posted on another site... That two days ago a guy came by, And said it might be heavy,,, Well me not knowing how strong I'm am.... I grab the top side of one door, Went to pick it up...Well it went up so fast, That I knocked it off the block's... Good thing the rear end caught it...Bent it up a little.. But it was a easy fix... The guy looked at me and said: Don't look very heavy now.. Him in his son, Just gave me a look I can't explain..I won't do that again.. All the steel for this car so far is right under 700 lbs... And I'm only 6' around 238 lbs..:D Now I also had a lot of drop off on all the steel... So we will see.. I talked to the guy I buy my steel from yesterday, And he said no more then 2600 lbs finished.... Well we have a scale here, So when it's all done we will know..:D
few shot's from today..
