    Put a gas grill, or charcoal grill in it. I'm hungry. Then you can have hamburgers and ribs and stuff when you go to the cruze nights. Waaaaay more popular than spiders, or eye balls, or rats. Ever notice all the fat asses at the cruze nights. You know they like to eat. Fixem something to munch on while they look at your kick ass ride. sheeez.

    Ummm I know its your ride and you've probably got some direction in mind but I've just never been a fan of spider webs on hot rods. Seems a little R.R. to me...

    The work and craftsmanship looks very good, I am not much on the style. I think it has too much "look at me". The car looks cool, the grill would take away from the overall look. The same effort on a symmetrical style grill, hand made for the car would look much better to me. It is very artistic, but does not flow well on a car. IMHO

    I really don't mean any offense man thats just my 2 cents... It is a hell of a nice design and I do appreciate the craftsmanship. I've just always associated spider webs with rat rods.

    That would make a killer chair. Really, that would be cool.

    The Peyote, well my friend, its a 1933 ford pickup..........It will rule. Its a land mark build, one of those cars that changes hot rodding for the better of all mankind. It is love, it is utopia. It is kick ass. It will be finished in the year 2010, and it will be mine........all mine ......HAHAHAHAHA. Whew.....Man.

    Its a lil pickup that Ive put my heart and soul into. Ive done everything myself, and am very proud of it. Im painting it dark green, like a peyote button.

    That would look good...but It's kinda hard for me to paint stainless, I thought of a brushed look, using 320 grit or a scotch bright pad, what'da think?:confused:

    Go "look" for a shopping cart. They're made of A and T grill inserts, three or four each depending on how they're cut.

    I also think the craftsmanship of the web grill is very good and easy to appreciate. I do believe it would look good on the car but also I can see where others would say it doesn't flow with the car. The car is yours. You build it to what you want it to be and how you want it to look. Niether way is the wrong way if you ask me, and by the looks of your skills, I'd say you will do a good job either way.

    Put a spider on it, with a Rat Fink head and a VD Flying Eyball! HELL YAAAZZ!
     
  24. Well, it is almost halloween. Paint the wheels orange and you'll have something.


    The work is nice, but I wouldn't put it on a car.

    shopping cart!!!
     
  30. A nice chopped Deuce shell with a expanded metal or stock insert would be the best thing you could do there. A chopped 31 A Model shell would also be cool as heck.
