Hot Rods 32 Roadster Body - a new approach. AKA Beetledeuce

I have no idea why but I can see the pick on my Lap Top but not my iPad. Maybe try using a different device if you can't see the pics.

Great work. It really inspires me to what to build my own body for my next car.

 

Awesome...the work is second only to the creativity.

 

Hey Gent,
You need to find a way to sign this work of art
when you are finished with it!
And If you should ever combine all your great
photos with a narrative on cd, you've got a how-to
for the ages!
And maybe you could sell it!

 

I just explored this thread for the first time, and it's amazing! Your vision, imagination, and skill are all remarkable.

You've mentioned that your cast pewter reveals are "hollowed out". Are you incorporating a core in your mold, so that the cast part is hollow right out of the mold, or are you manually removing material from the back side after the casting has been made?

 

DITTO!!

 

Thanks Tony,
I've been thinking about producing some kind of build manual or guide with measurements and drawings as well as photos if there is enough demand for it.

 

The mould incorporates a core so that the parts are hollow straight from the mould. I didn't want the work of hollowing out the castings after.

 

That makes excellent sense to me.

 

We've got to be getting close to some full on 3/4 view pics. I can't hardly wait!!!

 

I can't believe I missed this thread ! You sir are a true artiest!

 

Updates?

 

What Jim said...don't leave us hanging. HRP

 

He might be putting together that triumph headed motor, or harvesting rubber in the amazon to pour his own tires right now so he can surprise us with a finished car?

 

Very cool ! Great thinking out of the box. Some very talented folks here on the HAMB! Roger

 

Lmao

 

They show up ok for me.

 

Fantastic what you can do with so little at hand.

 

Great work Gent, very inspirational!

 

What ever happened to this little piece of inspiration?

 

Was wondering the same thing, he was on the HAMB today so he is still here. Would love to see the conclusion of this way cool and inspirational build. JW

 

Puts new meaning to building a car.

 

He's at the "traditional" re education camp....

 

Completely forgot to ask for your address as I was in Brighton last week .
Great progress

 

?

 

"Waiting and hoping forever!"

 

I hit a wall (not literally), when everything else caught up with me and the roadster took a backseat. I guess this happens to most of us building something in our spare time.
I've gotta find some time in the next couple of weeks to push on with it.
Bear with me guys, it will get done!

 

Those durn pattern-making elves went on strike again?
Might try the Firm...of Casney, Bass and Sibley!

 

If often wondered myself, why would anyone put a wall here

 

I'm glad to hear the project has just stalled and not forgotten.

I've really enjoyed seeing the creativity way you have built this roadster. HRP

 

Now that you hit a wall, what are you going to make out of it?
