*Pics* Model A build-lookout Chopperman!!

Heres another one I took that I forgot about!

 

man...i hate you!!! no really..i hate you!!!!


i cant get over how bootyful that is man!!! your color choice is nuts on bro~!!!

 

Thank you...Im gonna be working on it everyday...I promise...Im still just shooting for GNRS.
I just need to start my list off all the stuff I need to do...
And some how I need to trick Skratch into getting over to my shop! Hint hint! hahaha

 

I can see Skratch doing his magic. Yes yes yes!!!!

 

wow, congrats on building such an eye catching awesome ride! that thing is so bad ass!

 

Ive been ding alot of wiring and trying to get stuff going on this, but tk a break to snap a few pics before interior goes in... so here ya go

 

Hey sorry, one of my buddys pointed out that some pics I took were in B&W....Sorry. I guess some of the photoshop guys can color them in or...hey print them out and let you kids color them in.

 

Excellent.

 

Sooooo Nice SloppySeconds. I actually like the way that the engine and the wheel colors play off each other in the first pick. I would keep the wheels that color. Anyhow it's top notch, can't wait to see the rest come together.

 

Ooops. Just got to the end of the post and see that you have updated. It looks amazing. I see that you got rid of the wire wheels. Where exactly are the ones that you have off of? I don't think I have ever seen those. As for the rest of the car there is nothing negative to be said. Seats, Engine Choice, Edmunds Stacks and the Color. How could you go wrong with a Black Channeled A Bomb? Nice Job.

 

Damn. It is 1:14 am and my eyes must be bleeding because it looks black but now I am seeing a deep blue right? Well forgive me for the last post in getting the color worng. Anyways I love the blue too! Give me a couple more minutes on this damn computer and I am liable to post again saying how much I like the Deep Green paint job. That's it this knuckle head is going to bed so that I can give my bleeding eyes a rest. Beautiful "A" buddie.

 

Rub your eyes no more...it is a dark blue. Those lights throw it off and the camera and even the color drastically changes in different lights. Its the half quart of Carbon black toner I put in it. Ill have a better color picture this weekend. I think Im gonna push it outside and work under the CA sun instead of that stuffy booth.

 

Damn, you're a soopa star. I keep coming back and marveling at this awesome project. When you mentioned "Carbon black toner", do you mean paint tint, and the color of it is "Carbon black" or is it actual toner like in a Xerox machine? I hate to ask stupid questions, but I'm not a painter and I know people have done weird things to paint and got spectacular results.

 

HAHA..There are no dumb questions....But the toner is carbon Black that is a toner for paint. Its what they add to paint to get it lighter or darker or yellower or purpler....different toners cuase different affects.
K...well Im gonna get back on wiring...

 

Did alittle work this week...All you guys who actually build your own cars know how many stupid litttle things yu gotta do...heres a few update pics.
Cut and fitted the grille..

Bent the cowl vernt arm...still alittle long and made the panel for the starter switches and lights

Fitted the gas tank...not to happy with how the paint came out...gotta redo it

 

So Im thinking about changing the seats....its nice that they are low to the ground, but even with padding they just dont fit me...If anyone know of any other seats or even a little bench let me know...BTW the seats should be out in a few days and on the For Sale section

 

The seats you have do not fit the car!! You need buckets with diamond stitches.

 

Love the progress!
Any early truck or van, up to the 60's - 70's had small bench seats without arm rests. reupolster and there you go for a small bench. For a bucket, Ive always liked the 65 mustangs. low back, low ground, fold down, no mechanical stuff.
Keep it up!! looks great!

 

No he dosn't hahahahaha


Diamonds are too new for that car .,,Tuck and roll would be a better fit..its
more pierod..

 

65 mustangs only work with Uncahanneled cars..Some van seats work
but most of the time to big..

I know someone who had there upholstery done recently...wink wink,
and the guy made his own seats.. they came out fantastic,,make the
base out of wood and let the upholster do his magic..


Still looking good..

 

Yeah Evel...thats what I was thinking about doing....I dont know yet...Got a few more important things to worry about other than the seats....

 

Ya I hear you...

I'm off to Ventura to go work on all the "Little Things" right now..

keep at it bro..you are almost done...

 

A real work of art! I would be afraid to drive that thing its soooo nice. Its great to see something so unique in the 21st century. I guess not everything has been done already.

I just gotta ask...what are those taillights from?

Colin

 

good god that is an amazing rod! very impressed man, can't take my eyes away from it! makes me that much sadder I missed out on a sport coupe this weekend!

 

The Taillights are off a 37 Chrysler Airflow.

 

evel is such a tease.

car looks awesome!

 

K...lights all work! got floorboards stained and bolted in. Still doing alittle body work on Gille and gas tank, trying to get it ready to paint. Will be working on finishing Exhaust and running the rest of the brake lines s I can at least stop this thing. If anyone wants to stop by and watch feel free Ill be at my shop both Sat and Sun.

 

maybe by toddlers have made me sit the the movie Cars too many times but i think your coupe is lookin at me



Seriously slick car though, I've been watching this thread for a little while now and it's amazing to see you progress so quickly and so beautifully.

Great job and thanks for sharing.

Well...Im pulling out the seat this weekend, so there goes the eyes!!! Maybe that'll help you with your caraphobia
