Projects Kustom From Outer Space..France calling.

What great thread . I love the color .

 

You and this project, are what The Hamb is all about. Doing something with nothing. Love that a Frenchman, is saving a French car. Different is cool. Thanks for sharing.
I just shipped a 1956 Olds 324 crankshaft, to another Frenchman, but he is doing a Oldsmobile.

I know they would like to visit France. Cleveland, however, might be a harder sell. You guys will have to pay the freight!

 

quelle belle voiture..continue!!

 

Ok Laroke, i won the auction, send me the shipping price to France, i use Paypal

Thanks again The Hamb Members, for your great messages.

Nothing special, it's raining, but between rain showers, i have clean the center steering wheel, and try to save a rotten dash ashtray......it's ok, some patina parts are alright for me.

 

I don't know how I missed this my fellow car guy. Damn nice job!

 

And I am whining because I don't have the ambition to work on my 32 Ford--in my heated/air conditioned, proper tools, garage. I ought to be, NO, I am ashamed of myself. BILL RINALDI

 

Don't cry Bill, that's because i don't want air conditioned . If you need motivation, i offer you my broken tools, my pleasure, it's a gift.........and if you don't need yours......

 

Minor work of the day, restoration of the mirror.

 

Ratatouille,
You sir are a craftsman. I enjoyed reading this thread very much. Thank you. And a very nice job on your Renault.

Wow, every time I look here there's another amazing thing.
Obstacles be damned.

Freight is no problem at all.
Greyhound ships cheap and the seats are better than those on fastenall coach

 

Very inspiring! Neat build, you should be proud!

 

very cool!!

 

absolument hallucinant
CELA a l'air si simple, Un grand bravo pour l'ensemble de tes travaux, un sans faute .

 

Merci Oliviercox pour tes félicitations, des fautes, il y en a toujours.....;-)

So guys, thanks for your messages, you give me more power and energy to finish my car with your congratulations, thanks again for your support.
The snow is announce for tomorrow, so i have decided to try to finish the rear window.....but it's very cold outside, and i'm alone......Laroke has certainly sold the girls to another man ;-), so i have used his tip!

again, my poor material, i have find a rope, and try to do something......not the best way, the rear window is not flat level, and with the cold outside degree, the polycarbonate is difficult to bend.



4 hours later, with a red freeze nose........

 

amazing, maybe one day on a trip to France I will get to see your car cruise down the street past all the new peugots with many girls handing out the windows

 

This has Gotter be the coolest car in all of France

 

Congratulations on getting your rear window in in the cold. I wouldn't have tried that. As an aside, it was a bone-chilling fifty-three degrees Fahrenheit here in South Florida when I got up today.

 

Finally, no snow, only 4 rainy days, the rear window is finish, and i work on the side windows.....it's fuckin' cold outside...., the car cover was frozen!

 

Looking great, nice progress. You'll be cruising in no time.

 

Tres fantastique!

 

What a fantastic transformation! When do we get to see you out driving and picking up chicks?

 

I hope in May.......this is the "work still to be done" list:
-L/R rear door panel upholstery
-L/R rear side windows
-Passenger front window
-Roof vinyl headliner
-seat upholstery
-carpet
-Buy an old 6V radio
-Wheel painting, and fix the 3 missing moon discs
-buy 4 new whitewall tires (maybe used in 16", the 400 french size is unavailable)
-Mount the new rear shock absorbers
-find a new radiator (the original is completly rotten)
-find a cool rear license plate surround
-install front assembly turn signal light (don't know what and where, someting round......)
-Metal Flake scallops (the color is a secret!)

After that, visit the technical car control, clear title, insurance......and at this moment i will be abble to say: GROOOVYY BABYYYY ;;;;;-))))

 

An amazing thread, sure enjoying this build, a car to be proud of!!!
