got to sniff lotsa brake clean and paint!!!!

then tonight i filled the roof on my duece, im not one to usaully do that cause i like a stock insert but it was more out of necessity, the roof was butchered pretty bad and it would have been alot more work to get it right.

plus if i want i can always put on a fake roof insert.

hard to tell from the pics but what do you think (to flat? to curved? ok?) i think it looks ok, but some times for me to viualize it i need les shit lying around in the back ground to tell.

[titus]

another view.

Titus,Ive saw a lot of your progress and tech post,and I like all your doing.That motor looks so much better than the grease pile, you showed,on the day you got it.I bet the guy you got it from would be sick,if he saw it now.Feels good to get something done,I did a little on my T project today,my outlooks better already.Keep up the good work.

With such a light color,the shadows and reflections make it almost impossible to tell in a pic.

The only really "bad" one's I've seen are the ones that are too flat or have ribs in them. Your's looks great!

[titus]

i put used a patch cowl out of a 32-34 pu, its closer to the edge of the firewall, no reason just diiferent, and more dash clearence, the cowl was cut out on top all the way to the reveal below the w/s

ask four-thirteen what it was off of, i cant remember some kinda 60's mopar thingy!!

[four-thirteen]

1963 plymouth valiant 4 door

that was one rusty car. the whole thing was held together with pop rivets, bondo and a bunch of old street signs. damn thing ran good though.

how much work did it take to match the shape of the roof anyway? it seemed to fit real nice on an A coupe. four-thirteen

[Rolf]

Great looking motor...yup, you are moving right a long...

[titus]

it shouldnt take much to make it fit, you cant bend em or they kink funny. its gotta just set on top and fit!! it fit pretty da, good after positionimg it in the "just right" postition! then i jsut traced it from undernieth and cut it out and started tackimg it in place real slowly as not to fuck it up. then wall ahh!
