Customs Ayala '42 tribute update

Looks really great David...
Glad you will be able to take it out for a spin in the new year. That will get you all exited to get it finished... or at least as much as you want it for now so that you can drive it and enjoy it.

 

Really diggin the new update pictures you posted.I remember when you really werent sure which grill you wanted to run,im glad you chose this.I wish Gil or Al was here to see it.

 

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! No bad ass flathead? ALso i thought i saw a air tank. Now this just me. So dont take it as me being a dick, but if i was doing a tribute to a car i would of went all out. Now if your doing an inspired by then that a whole other story. Like i said not trying to be a dick. Just trying to figure things out.

 

Looking good David its starting to really take shape!

 

Awesome Dave ! Congrats on the upcoming first drive!! are ya gonna video it for us ?!

 

I always viewed "tribute" and "inspired by" as the same thing ...now if it were a clone ,well thats another story

 

I guess your right. Hes not building a clone.

 

Looks great David! It must be exciting as hell to think you will be taking it for a spin soon.

 

thanks for that Steve.will post up a video when it hits the street.Bickford ,hope you dig it.We build for the fun of it,that's all.

 

Hey i can dig it. At least i know you do have the love of custom cars.

 

Man I don't know how I've been missing this one. This is going to be a stunning ride. Keep up the work, she's looking good.

 

Here is a short video of the first run on the street.It's not registered yet so i had to keep it short...and i ran out of gas! but it was a blast.

Right on Dave!! That must have been a real blast, I cant wait for that day to happen with the 47 ! Congrats!!

 

Very cool!! Nothing quite like that first ride

 

Ok don't know how I missed this one but great car man. Congrats on gettin it rollin.

 

glad you're digging it Steve.as I went down the street it was like going back to the '50's....to bad I ran out of gas.

 

Man what a fitting tribute! The ayalas never got their due credit. It looks like you will not be afraid to get on the gas pedal too! Ill bet Gil would be smiling...

 

Pretty sweet Dave,great way to start the new year.

 

Hello fellas, here to tell all concerned that the car i have been building as a tribute to Gil Ayalas ford is for sale as it sits.Life has gotten in the way and the car needs to go.In Cal...everything goes 50/50,thats all i want to say as far as the reason . I will post in classifieds this weekend.I hate to see it go...but thats life.

 

Man that is sad news.... was hoping to see some more update photos when I saw your new post.
So Sad... hope it will find a great new home with somebody who wants to finish it the way you intended.
good luck!

 

This sucks Dave ! Do you have something else to work on after you get through this stuff?

 

Hey Steve,ya it sucks....thinking I'll help my son with his '38 just to keep busy.....

 

that's sad

 

hello guys,I have a update on my old car(Ayala tribute).have been in touch with the new owner ,who lives in Idaho.he says the car is in Los Angeles getting the upholstery done,because he has entered it in the GNRS in Pomona in January! He changed the color,but he kept all my work intact!am stoked ... I will be there for sure...
