That wasn't my favorite part of the car either, I have to admit, but at least he had it chromed and detailed with more green paint. Like any other build, there are things we all would do differently, but this guy is a madman when it comes to details. He must work with stainless a lot because some of those one-off pieces he made look like a factory turned them out. Too much work for me, I even get tired dialing 1-800-car-parts.

Your not gonna like the rear one then for sure The cam is the original cam from the 394.

Hi Guys, just got a link to this site which i didn't know about so popped in for a look around, My name is Steve Lang and i'm just just a guy in the U.K. that enjoys building Hotrods and nothing more, Thanks for the kind comments as they are appreciated.

As for the money i have in this car i don't mind telling that it is £11,000 which at the moment is 16,029.78 USD, its the most expensive car i've built for myself but i've kept the cost down by doing everything myself apart from the trimming.

Not as much as you thought i bet ?

Cheers for now and happy hotrodding

Hey Steve, thanks for posting and welcome to the forum. As you can tell by our reactions, your workmanship has us in awe. You and I have BS'd a bit over on the HAMB via PM's, and I always liked your previous cars, but this one really jumps out. I bet when you take it to a cruise or show people will be standing around it for a long time finding new details.

Take care Steve, and don't be a stranger around here. You would fit in very well.


Don

Thanks for the welcome Don, i like the site, havn't had much time to look around but what i've seen looks pretty cool.

I just do what i do for me if other people also like it thats a valued bonus.

Look forward to posting a bit more.

Cheers
Steve.

What time is it in England? Didn't expect you to be around at this hour.

Steve, please post up some pictures of your other cars. Like most forums, we LOVE pictures, especially nice cars like you build. Unless we underestimate the amount of hot rod parts available overseas, it has to be tough to collect all of the parts you need to do these. I live in Florida and have trouble sometimes!

Don

Its 11.30 Don, having a laptop in my workshop helps

I will post some pics later, getting parts used to be difficult but the WWW has helped big time, I'm a Speedway dealer in the U.K. and deal with most of the major U.S. suppliers who are all great.

I have a great deal with a air freight firm here and get most parts in 2-3 days

Very impressive workmanship. The guy is an artist. Nice green with or without the flake--my preference is without--and his choices for the rocket theme are very cool! Awesome, mate!!
