Customs "...coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man...."

It was crunch time. I got the BGBDLINC back from having a new roof skin installed on the Sunday before 2013 Canadian Rodder Hot Rod Tour. That left 4 days for bodywork and paint and cleanup.....Yikes!!!!!

Tour start day....'Sharp Dressed Man' after 40 hours in three days...

 

it’s like a tuxedo t shirt classy and fun!

 

Oh man! That looks damn good David!

Where's the side shot?

 

...sexy profile shot.....(psssst: all rattlecan)

 

Lookin good David!

 

Hubba Hubba!

 

"Nothing Finer"

 

Love this car... put a underhood shot up to remind us what you're running.

 

Niiiiiiiiiicccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

...thanks for the compliments, guys...

Here ya go williebill...368 cu in '56 Lincoln with drivetrain for a complete chassis swap (let the flaming begin). The original frame was toast and butchered beyond belief. Body is a '46 Lincoln Club Coupe with a ton of changes....whole thing was built from an empty shell. I can list the mods, if anybody is interested.....

 

COOL BEANS !!! Be proud.

 

Flame, what flame to hell with the naysayers you did it your way. I think Congrats are in order. Larry

 

Very cool car. Enjoy the heck out of it!!!!

 

That is just entirely too cool!

 

haha....I did just that driving around South Central Ontario for 4 days on the tour....it doesn't get much better than that (with the paint off-gassing the whole time)....

 

Way cool car....

 

Hey David! The car looks great.

I noticed you shaved the door handles. How do you plan on getting into this thing?

 

....with a screw driver and a lovely young woman in a wet T-shirt (while you're laughing your ass off).....long story

 

I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't poke fun just a little bit, now would I?

All part of the fun and games of owning hotrods and customs!

 

I've heard a little of that story but it sounds like I missed out on the best part!

Wet T-shirt contest!?

Hahaha!

 

Like that car !!

 

Bet your finger was tired ?

 

Wow... Speechless.

 

Very nice!!!!

 

Thanks for the kind words....

I used Krylon 'Khaki' -one of the three army camouflage colours they make (all flat). Krylon makes a good quality spray button with the little adjustable fan spray nozzle. The cheap rattlecan buttons always leak and paint the end of my finger and then the paint drips on the car. I don't use them any more.
The best investment that I made was for two scuff pads.....

 

Your car looks nice and I bet it drives good,but did you price new front suspension parts? That will scare you Jack

 

...haven't needed front end parts yet. The ride is excellent even with 4" lowering blocks in the rear, although the trans tunnel did have to be raised about and inch under the rear seat. The biggest scare that I had recently was for a rebuild of the steering box. Fortunately, it could be rebuilt by a local shop....

 

WOW !!! that is sooooo nice.

 

Nice job, always liked you ride from following it here and there on Canadian Rodder. Looks great.

 

Way to rip-looks really nice.

The "low buck" side of my brain couldn't help wonder how many rolls of green tape you burned on masking off the glass? That stuff doesn't come cheap!
