I like that idea, that way I don't have to make a decision! haha

Thanks again guys for all of the kind words. I'm back down in Boston (still have other classes unfortunately ) so there won't be as many updates till the weekend. I have a final design presentation on Thursday, so i'll be working on getting that together. I'll post some pics of that presentation when i get it finalized.

Great! Keep it coming!

QUESTION!! Where do you get template paper like that?? I have some that an old-time sheetmetal guy gave me and I haven't been able to find someone who sells it.

Hey guys,
Sorry its been awhile since an update, but here are some more pics.

Here are a few shots of my clay form model.




I'm thinking of maybe going with this aircraft style'd windscreen, thats IF i put one on.



And here is a marker rendering of what the final might look like



and back to the "real" rod:

Took the body back off, time for some blasting



Pops putting some pieces in the back of the truck. Yea thats right we've got an early peddle-boat with a canopy, were taking that to get blasted also.



well its all one uniform color now



And the little bit of work we did. Taking the body line out of the cowl.





Should have a bunch more progress pics for you guys after the weekend.

scootermcrad the paper I've been using is thin cardboard, also known as chipboard. I actually get it from my uncle who owns his own window installation business. The paper comes shipped over the windows to help protect the glass. You can also pick sheets of it up at art supply stores.

Great! Thank you! And that would make sense! Looks just like what I have and have been looking for more of!

Another great update!

I really like your marker pen drawings. I can build stuff but I can't draw it I would love to be able to do that.

Keep up the good work.

So cool to see such a young fella with so much talent being put to good use. I hope that one day you can be the Boyd of hot rods as opposed to the one with street rods.
