Wildfire is done and heading to Milwaukee.....

Posted a few progress picture, so here is the finished product. It will be at the Milwaukee Masterpiece Concours on August 28, ( in HAMB buddy Geoff Hacker's "Fabulous Fiberglass" class) - stop by abd say Hi if you're there.

Neat. Did you have a build thread here? Gary

 

Sweet, thats a work of art. proper, tiddy and just plain nasty.. congrats and make room for the awards.. cheers

 

AWESOME

you should bring it to the Cheaterama on Saturday, August 27th also in Milwaukee!

 

Yep - search "Wildfire" - if I were smarter , I could post the links........

 

Nice work. I'll look forward to seeing more of that one on Geoff's newsletter.

 

Looks terrific. A lot of these 50's and 60's era sports cars end up being kinda ugly looking, but yours really nails the look without being disproportionate or overly ornate. Plus it looks like you got all the period details right, no casette deck in the dash or high back bucket seats or white letter tires that they all seem to get somewhere along the way. I like it a lot.

 

Thanks, Squablow - I spent a lot of effort on "Period Correct" - so I really appreciate your comments !!

 

I 2nd that.
Cheaterama is the place to be on that Saturday for sure!

 

I helped work the gate this year at the Symco Shakedown, deciding what is period correct to meet the criteria and get in the gate and what isn't. It's amazing how many cars get really close, but then miss on a few small details which ruin the whole car. Even small stuff like forcing in a tilt column or cutting a CD player in the dash will ruin a whole car for me.

Your car nails it. If you come to the show next year, I guarantee you'll be Symco Approved.

 

Wow that thing is really neat!

 

Neat car, nice color combos too!

 

Tell me about Cheaterama - is there a web site. We will be there Friday, so we might want to stop by......

 

That thing is freaking bad ass!

Man, that sucker's neat, great job!

 

That's a cool car!!! Looks great, might I suggest you have new vent wings cut that are angled to match the car better? That's the only thing I don't like about it!

 

small, tight, quality show

Honestly with a concours car such as yours, you might not want it in the lot/show.. we really cram 'em in

 

I agree - one of my final details. The right side actually touches the body.......

 

Thanks - good advice. I may stop by without the car. But, I'm not really a "Concours" guy - and this is not going to be a concours car - just going to this concours to support Geoff. It will be a driver...

 

Hope it doesn't catch fire and burn when one of those red plastic fuel lines fail.

 

We will be there with the Fiat in the race class on Sunday. Stop by and say hi!

 

Car or no car Cheaterama should be on everyones bucket list!
