Simply Awesome! Great fabrication, love the body shape perfect blend of Miller lakester and Beatty Lakester.
What, no stack of catalogs and credit card bills? No bitching about Chinese parts that don't fit? Now, that's a traditional hot rod build. Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Fantastic work. Where in France are you located? I occasionally travel on business to Dijon... Again, great job.
I'm near Rennes, in "Bretagne". it's the middle west of France, Dijon is in the middle east.... About 600km between this 2 town (370 milles )
Hi Schoum You have Amazing skills & Style! You're building really traditional Rods in a country where all the cars looks like the ones in the background... How many other rodders do you bump in to on the roads? Aloha T
at first I thought, "is that a fake quick change looking thing?" but looking at the rest of your build, you hooked me. man you built that from almost nothing! what, did you see a picture or something and just had to have one? this just shows you, get off the computer and get out in the shop! now come here and let me pat your back! well done sir, well done.
I generally do not care for street driven replica lakesters but you are doing the Miller car justice with that thing!!!!!
Incredible build Question: Its hard to tell if you included ackerman in you steering geometry. A string attached to the top of the kingpin to the center of the rear end housing. Your spindle steering arm/tyrod end should be lined up with the string.
Yes! there is a big "contrast" between my project and the common car on the road in France! The traditional hot rodding in France is very marginal! but I'm not alone! look at this link, it's the best french traditional hot rod show of the year with some realy cool cars! It was located on the east borderline between the france and luxembourg, so there is some French, Luxembourg, belgium, deutsch and switzerland rods... http://www.rods-customs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16784 since a few years, the hodrodding is "trendy" in France. So, there is a lot of project in progress, and many import from the USA. Unfortunately, those one are often some bad dangerous rat rods.... don't forget that hotrods are outlaws in France.....
