we could use some photo shop help here ive got a few ideas id like to see

 

I'm guessing you dont sleep much. If you are building it it goes without saying thats it's going to rule. What color do you have picked out for it?

 

cant wait for the updates

 

H of K purple pasion will be the main color

 

I got some time I can help you Alex, What do you need Photoshopped.

 

it will be awesome, just like all your other work alex.

 

lil daves filling the cowl vent as we speak pics to com

 

looks cool, cant wait to see the transformation

 

Super nice Alex!..... Is this fin piece die cast? If so, how is it "welded"?

 

So Todd finally decided on a color or did you "guide" him the HofK PP??

I'm seeing a Watson style panel job!

 

It bolts on to the "Fin" from the inside.
It's a Stainless piece like the rest of the Trim along the Top.

 

Can't wait to see this build come about!! Definately keep us posted.

 

there comin

Gambino is on FIRE!

You the man! This is gonna be a fun build to watch.

 

I am guessing that purple is Alex's favorite color now... Looks great my man....

 

another cool build by one of the coolest cats! I always think I am alone in my love of these TBirds.............nice to see someone else giving them some love

 

by no means professional, but i thought id do a quick photoshop paint job of
THE PURPLE NURPLE

 

You have to stop eating those Roach Coach Churros....

 

NEVAH!

 

churros...... yum.....

Looks good guys, cant wait to see the finished product.

 

in time in time

yes that piece is pot metal we soldered it on with this low heat solder made for soldering pot metal to metal i still have some finished work on the top were the stainless stoped and the potmetal started im a fraid we would get a hairline crack there so im gona tap the edge down so i can get solder over the top of it ?

no watson here on this one 2 have been done resently definatly a fade
purple was the only color that one hasnt been done that was over the top purple and blue was the 2 choices its a no brainer have you seen genes purple hase?

 

what about using a body panel adhesive in this type of situation? I've never used the stuff, but thought it would be a good idea when trying to bond pot metal to a car

 

Cool Alex, Gotta love the Bulletbirds!

 

You guya are out of control with cool builds!!

Thanks for sharing all the posts...always looking forward to seeing the updates!
