Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

Nice work!

 

when you start the ranchero will you post the build thread info here. I don't want to miss it. you rock dude

 

Thanks guys, yes Jim, I will update on the '57. It will be getting some much needed love over the winter, it's going on the rotisserie!

 

As a little cap to this thread, the new owner got her all back together after pulling it apart to clean and re undercoat everything and repair the damage it incurred during shipping. He jumped through all the right hoops and got her legal, he says he's put about 1500 miles on it so far and it runs great! neat pic!

Old 167c rides again!

 

Killer!!!!! Car looks great! Good see it back on the road and racking up miles.

Note to new owner: those mufflers need to be tucked up or sprayed black.

 

IMHO, this was the best thread ever. I love the car and how it came to be, the fact that you drove it to the flats and enjoyed it.

 

that S.O.B looks bad ass... love the numbers on the door... hard to belive how far that car has come along!

 

Thanks for the pic and the final details! I really enjoyed the ride, (it would have been much better in person!

 

A ton of work, great result! Congrats

 

WOW! You have my respect. Nice work.

 

Amazing flipping from page 1 to page 65. You nailed that thing Andy, I would have had a hard time parting with it.

 

Probably one of the best threads on the HAMB, but off topic,
I have to say that your band rocked it at ROG saturday night!
I need to find out when you guys are going to release some music, just killer Andy!

 

Thanks guys!

What an incredible transformation! RULER!

 

Killer Andy, thank you for the link. Look forward to hearing more from you guys!

 

So what did you do with what was left of the back half l need some rear corners .and dam you did a nice job

 

It was T..O...a...s...T! Seriously, I used every piece that was usable off that rear half.

 

Haha, I can vouch for that. If he didn't use any of it, it would have been every usable piece off of it.

Thats ok dont hurt to ask thanks andy

 

Hahaha, yea I think your exact words were... "I don't doubt your skill, but...." haha, it was tough old iron. Mainly I used it for measurements and contour shaping the rear roof.

 

Right on Andy....Great to see it is alive and doing well across the pond. I did miss it in the group this year on our trip to bonneville. Looks good with the numbers on it.
Take care bro.

Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I saw your 34 5 window in real down here in Europe @ the Kustom Shakedown in Switzerland. I love that little bastard so much ,that i planed to go to the gentleman's race this year to see it in action. Happy that i didn't .Great working skills .I'm so impressed .here's one picture of it from this week.
(hope that mine's will look that good one day&#8230;..)

 

Haha, awesome! Thanks for the Update and kind words! I have to give Nick, the new owner some credit as well, he has made some changes and updates and generally "cleaned it up" a bit. cheers!

 

I saw your 5w at Bonneville 2012. I didn't realize there was a build thread till now. It turned out great! I would've never known it was a four door till I saw this thread. One of my favorites from Bonneville that year!

 

That was an incredible transformation and I have much respect for your skills!

 

Wow, thanks to whoever revived this thread - good to catch it. Fantastic work, really nice car.

 

Just found this thread and am just blown away by your talent and work ethic. Absolutely amazing work and a beautiful result. Can't believe you could build something like that, invest so much sweat and blood and then sell it so quickly. Best of luck on your next project, I'll certainly be looking forward to IT as well.
