Just spent a day getting back home............because I was blown away by viewing your work. Outstanding skills. Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to seeing much more.
I put the motor back in today . And worked on a lot of little things getting it ready to show in bare metal at York NSRA this weekend
At first I was gonna comment "WOW!", Then I thought "DAMN!", Then I was sitting with my jaw open mumbling "That thing is fucking awesome!"
That chop gives that coupe some asinine horsepower .... probably fast with just a hamster in there. Wicked wicked work sir. It's beautiful.
Just some more progress pictures , since the back end was in bad shape and Dave wanted to change up the deck lid . I decided instead of reworking all the rough areas on the back why not just cut it out and start all over .
I really enjoy working on my old car. And then I see work like this and realize I should sell all my tools as scrap metal! The metal work on that thing is amazing.
I think Cody could double his income by putting a large plate glass window in the side of his shop with bleachers outside, and charge admission. I would be in the front row. The level of craftsmanship in Cody's builds, (and a couple of others on HAMB) is both humbling and educational. Thanks for taking the time to take and share the photos with us.
Man it seems you are made of time money and talent . How do you do it ? Every car you do is over the top. NICE !
Well this car is not personally mine .im building it for a customer. I am not made of time , money or talent . I do the best with what I do have , for money I'm just like everyone else , just scraping by at times, that's why it took me 8 years to build my wagon . Time I'm always on the go and I realize the older I get the less of it I seem to have . Talent , that's more like obsession and messing a lot of things up over the years , what I do have is patients And the desire to do this day in day out and for the most part love every minute of it .
