  5. That looks great! You know, there may be a down side to this thread Ratty. If you finish this car and don't build another, we won't get to read your literature anymore! That would be a real bummer. Tim

    Has the Postal Lady been back around, to see your latest progress?

    Be careful, she may wish to go for a "ride" !

    Looking good, Brother!

    I wasnt so big on the idea of the scallops to start with. Great choice going with the ghosted flake instead. Perhaps an ivory stripe, but hey, the green sure pops off it now. Sure turned an ugly little car into a Kool Kustom ride

  15. I can't imagine what you could do if you had a garage and some nice tools to work with. I think a French George Barris is born.

    I wouldn't have thought that orange and green would work on anything but a pumpkin or a carrot but you proved me wrong. Nice job. Order some more 1 shot so the postal lady can come back.

    Waouuu, you make my day!....No one else can't be Barris brothers, but your post is a kind of nitrous oxyde mind injection;)....why? Because about last years, my dream is to build cars for people in my shop. Actualy, i'm looking for a place, but what is easy to realise in USA, is very difficult for a French in his country. I have no money, and it's hard to realise my dream with only "determination".......but i'm Ratatouille, and difficulties pushing me to the top ;)

  19. "R" You have the main ingredient.......determination. All the money in France wouldn't get you anywhere without determination and vision and you have both. Keep dreaming! When you get to driving your car, others will want it, or want you to do there car to look like it. Stay at it man. We'll call this the Franciscan Dream. Tim

    If would say he was more of a Gene Winfield!
    Humble, hardworking and talented.

    Gene Winfield started in a chicken coop, and did some fantastic work.

    So does Mr rat'!

    I can't imagine what you would be capable of building in a chicken coop after seeing what you built under a beach umbrella. Absolutely unbelievable.

    Hope you have long arms. Because you sure need to pat yourself on the back. Nice, real nice.
