    One of the baddest looking hotrods I've seen in a while. You did such an amazing job on it man, thumbs up!!!!! Someone earlier said it was cartoonish-I agree(in a really kick ass way btw)- the stance, those headers.... Zoomies would still be the shit, but the collector and the angle at which it sweeps upwards......DAMN!!! Is that what you envisioned or did they(headers) just kind of end up that way? Absolutely over the top. You are quite the craftsman with a helluva vision. I too would LOVE to see it in action in a video.

    You almost expect to see it in that back room at the Portland Roadster Show sitting on one of the tables of those expert model builders who spend hundreds of hours on one model.

    So radical but so clean and detailed with nothing that doesn't belong there.

    Don't get me wrong man, I'm not saying it looks like a fiberglass car. I'm saying it looks like a scale model.
    A very cool one.
     
  9. You did an awesome job.

    Love the pics in front of the NAPA store.

    Its funny,
    I had a local car builder show up today, and argue that I couldnt have painted it and done all of the body wk on it myself. His point being that a metal finisher cant be a good painter, and a chassis builder isnt capable of sheet metal work. All I could think of was all of the incredible builders on the HAMB, and how there are quite a few guys on here like Bass, Littleman, Plowboy, just to name a few that are doing stuff that many pros think cant be done.
     
  16. Ya' just gotta' want it bad enough!

    Edit: He obviously has never heard of Jim Sibley.:)

    Thanks a lot. Tomorow we have a photo shoot at the remains of the old deer park dragstrip. Im going all out. I got a real photographer,lights, and the drag strip should make a cool setting. I am going to bring my hemi powered 27 t for a cool 2 car shoot. im hoping to send the pics to rod and custom. Does anyone know who to get a hold of, or any tricks as to what they like and dont like in a shoot?

    Check it out. They let me use the drag strip. I can say I am the only person in over 25 years to do a smokey burn out on the deer park drag strip. Heres a lil sneak peek.

    I dont have seat belts or seats yet. If I come it would be to just show it and maybe do a few smokey burnouts.

    Its all in great shape. They still use it for police training. Its part of a municipal airport, so the airport maintains it.

    That's the best part: it's outlaw! Strip down a grocery cart for a seat, wrap yourself up with conveyor belting and hit it!
