    I agree - real nice truck. Good wheel choice too! Impressive sheetmetal skills on the roadster also - I'll be watching this one for sure!

    I first stumbled across this topic some time ago, but lost track of it. It is absolutely amazing and inspiring. I wish I could master this sort of skills myself, I love it.

    You are an artist, Schoum, and in the best french tradition, you combine artistic and engineering skills to an amazing result. It's a pity that most of your work will remain hidden, as that chassis is incredible in all its detail.

    I'm definitely going to try my hand at metalworking after this... what an inspiration!

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers, Eddie

    Totally excellent build. USA guys have no room to bitch about "hard to find" parts, etc.
     
  12. I usually skip past some of the "hand made" body threads, because usually they aren't always 100% spot on with a real one or even a Brookville.. something always just doesn't look quite right to me.

    But this thing, holy fuck. It looks perfect. I still can't believe those quarter panels started out as flat sheet. Crazy..

    Now THAT is a beautiful early A! Beautiful integration with the 32 frame. Great color and chrome, too. Certainly no belly-button A.
     
  14. WOW !!! The HAMB, never ceases to amaze me with the amount of talent out there. Absolutely amazing stuff !!
