Projects El Portal 36 Ford coupe

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Hot Rod Ron, Oct 12, 2008.

  1. HAHAHA that is what urban assault will do on mine bikes in down town phoneix. I will grab that from you soon. Back on topic now I should have a new update soon.
     
  2. So after a long hot summer which is our winter for us I am back in the shop. I have the rear deck between the trunk opening and the back window area all filled in now, right side door post is in and tacked to quarter panel, right door hung and rebuilt into the 3 window door like the left side was. Now will tackle the right side of the roof and then onto filling it and then the back window. Stay tune for more updates soon.

    Dude, your bananas! I can't believe you did that much since yesterday. Neat work though... I should be ready to do more urban assault via mini bike next Thursday - all in Phoenix with a mini bike are invited!

    Ron-I check out these posts every night to see how things are progressing. I'm really a fan of how you side-stepped the problems and came up with something that cool.

    Keep up the work. It's an inspiration for those of us that don't quite have the skills, but still enjoy a great build.
     
  23. You can do this work too. Its just metal if you make a mistake you weld it back together remeasure and cut again. Just take your time and you will be able todo it. I have been work on the car with alot of little stuff that in boring for picture sake. Should have some updates with pictures in a few day if all goes as planned this weekend.
