Man, and I thought my field car was bad, I've seen it in a new light now after seeing your pics, at least mine will see the road again. I never...
Damn it, I was p.o.'d this weekend. I'm working outside under a carport and down here in the southern hemisphere it's going into winter. So that...
I think the thread just happened to attract some people that were particularly into building thier cars without spending the money on a Kandy...
That's a rad color, but I want to know why when I post that I plan a Brandywine Kandy job on my '54 Chevy and how I'm spending weeks stripping my...
Does this statement sound strange to anyone else? :confused: :D
Can anyone confirm if Ryan has paypal set up? and what the details are? It's the easiest way for me to chip in seeing as I have to send from overseas.
Welcome! Whereabouts in the UK are you from? I grew up in Worthing, West Sussex (near Brighton). I like your websites by the way, very cool!...
Nefarious! Nice work!
Randy, I just emailed you. You can check out my site at www.sentinel-entertainment.com, I'm good for graphic design, typesetting, web design......
Well, I'm another one, not in So Cal either but I've done work for people all over the world with no problems before. Check out my site at...
You think you're confused! I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada grew up between San Diego, CA and Worthing, England (just down the coast from you,...
Well, I learnt to surf in England, and not even in Cornwall on the Atlantic but near Brighton on the English Channel. It sucks, and is "colder...
My car will be built on the HAMB, but I guess that probably doesn't count. Chopped, channeled and dropped '54 Bel Air with a retractable...
I always thought it originated on the salt flats, along with chopping, and channeling for that matter. Could be wrong though, never was very good...
It sounds like I need to talk to you about my current project. I'm really needing tech input specific to landspeed racing rather than general...
The only reason to do this is to see what I can open it up to on the dry lake, sticking at 7000 in fourth should get me to 130mph, but I'll have...
Thanks guys, for the laughs as much as the tech advice. :D I haven't made my mind up to swiss cheese the frame or anything, I just wanted...
I did a search and couldn't find much tech info on lightening a chassis. It's a stock '54 Chevy frame that will be 'z'd front and rear but I'm...
Another idea that costs a lot less, and would just take a bit of backyard engineering is to 'z' the frame just in front of the firewall. You keep...
I would love to see that, I'll do some searches. I haven't cut into mine yet, but would be glad for the extra inspiration. :) Mine's supposed to...
Thanks for bringing up that quote again, that's how all the trouble started. Should have just kept my big mouth shut. Are you trying to get me killed?
That's freakin hilarious! Fuck it. I'm tired of bitching and whining and getting people all pissed off for some reason I don't understand. Long...
Whoa, calm down! No veiled insults there at all whatsoever. I have obviously somehow gotten the wrong impression from your posts then. I would...
I totally respect your experience Jessie :) , mine can't come close and I won't even pretend that I can argue with that. You're right that...
Oh man, that's beautiful. I assume that's the one you sold? Best of luck for the two dooring! I'll get those drawings to you as soon as I have...
I agree, I don't dislike 4 doors, in fact I think the '53-'54 Chevy 4drs look pretty damn good when done right, but for this particular project I...
Tha! My kind of man! Someone else around here has some sense! Exactomundo my friend, clean bare metal, a two part epoxy primer, filler, another...
Well, I guess the saying is true that you learn something new every day! I didn't know that. Rich
No offense was taken, and no offense was meant. You made your point well, I won't argue with your experience of the product and ability to give...
Good question, most of the time the body would be off the frame already (I wish I had a rotisserie). The whole thing is bare steel, so I'd patch...
