    Thanks a lot. Because those parts are very difficult to get in Europe, I decided to build an unique bar for my car.

    Hello Hamb people ;-)

    3 weeks raining, and i have done nothing......but today, i have received some parts....and i know that you guys, are used to tease me a lot if i tell you that the pretty postgirl is back. I ask her if i can take a picture, for THE HAMB....she say's "can you give me the links of the website?"...she's save the adress on her phone, and agree to be photographed. Great, thanks a lot miss (now i know, that she read the thread), for you guys, i kept my word then, the French pretty postgirl ;-)

    She is very pretty! My mail carrier has hairy legs (South Florida mail carriers wear shorts and ours is a guy).

    If I may be so bold - look at grille compared to bumper. Make a bumper to match grille. Closer to body with peak in the middle. You have done great job....

    Im sure the scale would be off but an early blade style bumper off say a 67 mustang might be a good source of "bumper inspiration"

    You had better order something when done and ask her to go for a ride! She's quite pretty.

    A peaked bumper might really set it off, peak of the grille, peak of the bar, add in the bumper, nice flow.

    Really just love the car, such an ugly thing turned into a head turner

    You absolutly rigth guys, the box is not in the right place ;-) and the bumper too!....in fact, on the pictures, the bumper is not fix, and the empty space beetwin the bumper and the front doesn't exist, my car is not finish, and this is not the final front, and not the final bumper, but i totaly agree with your proposes, and apreciate your good vibrations.

    If i say teeth and dagmar bumper.....i think you follow me ;;;;-)))).....me i follow the girl :p (so there is a grizzly mail carrier in Florida? lol )

    Thanks again for your great respect, idéa, and communications.

    We talking about front, here in France, the turn light are compulsory. I'm not a rich man, and i do things the best i can with my money.

    i have this, not exciting parts, but regular.....[​IMG]

  12. You are still lucky. I live out on a rural route and my mail carrier is a woman with hairy legs...
    some people shouldn't wear shorts.

    I also live on a rural route and have a woman mail carrier, while I don't know if her lega are hairy or not, I sure don't care to see them, she is nothing like the pretty French mail girl. :(

  28. Ratty: The turn lights look great...good job. Now you have an idea for the bumper also. AND, before you mess with that postal girl, make sure she has a male slot???

    Great work Rat. The car is really coming along and looks great. I really like Dick Stevens' second bumper rendering. I think it would look even better pulled in tighter (widened and wrapped to where it becomes the bottom of the fenders) and would give a nice place for your grill surround to land. Just my opinion, everything you've done has come out great so I'm sure you've got something planned. Keep it up. Good luck with the mail girl ;)
