My favorite builder on the HAMB. Hands down.

 

I can't believe subscriptions to stuff like this are free!
Car's beautiful! Rock on!

 

This is pure art.The way i like. Subscribed

 

Thank you so much fellas for the nice comments!!!

Baking soda is a MUST use when cleaning the tinning flux after it's applied and cooled down!! It neutralizes the acids in the flux!! If you skip this step, THE ACIDS WILL RISE THROUGH THE LEAD AND WON'T GO AWAY AS IT'S TRAPPED UNDERNEATH THE LEAD.... AND DESTROY A REALLY NICE PAINT JOB!!

That's too nice man!!
I'm just a guy in my garage, trying to create something with the skills i have today!!! A LOT OF TALENT ON HERE THAT I LEARN FROM EVERYDAY...... But thank you!!!

Ian


More pics coming very soon!!!

 

Man those fins are way cool!! Very nice job, you got the eye for style and skills to pull it off. This definately is becoming one of my favorite build threads.

 

Piero is dreamy. Last time I saw him he kicked me in the ass at GNRS.......with his flamed rock-a-billy boots.

Ian this thing is really turning out slick buddy. Scootie Tang (ScooterMcRad) and I were talking last night about just how far you've come in such a short time. You were built for this and I'm just glad I can watch you progress and grow in this hobby. Go man Go!

 

Sick work Ian,can't wait to see it done

 

It just keeps getting better and better. Love the fins!

 

Dude that caddy is SWEET.....Lovin IT.

 

i'll have to say Ian's cad is going to be sick. really subtle and awesome work

Tim

 

Ian, what was your method of paint removal on this beauty? Can you describe it?

 

Ian, you just ain't got enought to do!Need to come back to kansas for the straykat 500 !

 

Nice...he gave it too you?? how lucky can a guy get

 

Are the winshields from the 59-62 Impalas any shorter? If so could you use one in place of the Cad glass?

damn man, you need to teach a metal working class. The theme should be classy styling.

Scored a 59 60 chevrolet dash today, without the pods, but it's cool because as of now i won't be using pods anyways?!?!?! we'll see?!?!?!?

I did a quick trim job just to get it in there to see what it would look like, i like it !!! It'll definitely sit lower and better later!!

 

looking great! you suck!

 

I'm Sure it Has Been Said If Not, "Extremely Gifted Talents With A Great Vision." Always Love The Mid Fifties And Early Sixties Caddys. Can't Wait To See This One.
