Hi. Looks great. On the question you replied "No comprendo" if you look at the two motor photo's you show is that a Fiat cooling fan or what was that cast fan previously used on?

Ratatouille it's not my process! i use the "métalisation sous vide" (aluminium particul)

 

Ventilator of origin,polished (stock)

 

Hello, i dont know this process, can you explain us the technical please?

 

heuuu... en français alors! my english is too bad!
Métalisation sous vide ..bha les pieces passent sous une cloche qui fait le vide (je ne sais pas pourquoi ) et ensuite des particules d'aluminium viennent se coller par pulverisation cathodique (a tes souhaits) et ensuite un vernis est appliqué.. et c'est dommage qu'il y est ce vernis d'ailleur qui a tendance a foutre le bazar, parceque sans celui-ci,le chrome est bien superieur en brillance d'un vrai chromage classic! c'est impressionant!..

(Hello Vedette, merci pour ton explication, je ne savais pas que tu utilisais ce procédé, merci pour l'info et le partage, et encore bravo pour le relooking que tu effectue sur ta vedette, ce que tu réalise est tout en finesse, et très classe à mes yeux, vivement la suite, et qui sait, peut être auront nous l'opportunité d'avoir nos 2 voitures Française garées cote à cote lors d'un rassemblement).

Guy's, I translate quickly what Vedette say's in French, the method about "Chrome" on his Ford Vedette is what you name in USA "Sputtering", aluminum particles are ejected from a solid target material, and then, paint clear coat finish (not a big idea, because the final result is better without clear coat, but mandatory to fix the chrome in the time).

 

Merci Rat! je corrige quelques erreurs esthetique du passé!
Ta Fregate a de la gueule! du vrai custom comme à la grande epoque! Dommage que tu ne sois pas avec nous sur Kruzin! on se marre bien!
J'espere qu'on se croisera un jour (meme si je ne fait plus de concentre.. )

 

I think I need to adjust my meds...

Watch Vedette's video in post #400 to see what I'm talking about.

 

Ohh, THOSE meds

Subtle changes but required!




After information.. there is no term known for this modification of the hood!
I named him: " Fold Back" ! I hope that this name will stay in the history of the traditional Kustom!

 

Very nice Monsieur Arty.

 

Pretty color too

Excellent.
The Peurrari is looking great too. The hood scoop and grille really work. Going to get some fat Borrani wire wheels next?

 

Thanks! Borrani? no! too much expensive!! :/ I look for wheels europeen racing look ...

 

Again, the creativity of many HAMBrs, including Vedette, prompts me to believe I dwell among true artists.

 

Hello everybody!
Before redrawing my taillights, I am going to shorten the quarterdeck to have a longer trunk visually. I would also like to move forward the rear to take out again wings (they will be more rounded off). And then I shall redraw taillights.




GOOooooooo!

 

Well...I give up the idea to move forward the trunk! I preferred an idea more sure and traditional..
I would have time to redraw my tail light later.

So, you are making this modification simply for a change in proportions?

 

? yes..
