    Rat, methinks you had a previous life in Southern California somewhere back in the 50's. The car is waycool.

    When it is finished, you must take a photo in front of the Arc de Triomphe! I am seriously considering looking for a Renault now.

    Rat, with a color like this one, only you will see the less-than-perfect spots.
    Every one will be dazzled by your vision and determination.
    She turned out looking great!

  12. I am going to keep watching
    back yard build with almost nothing
    Looking Good
     
  13. Wow. I just found this thread. You got the proportions nailed...looks like it should have been designed that way all along. Never would think t started out as a Renault. And that color choice...man, that is a real attention getter. Beautiful.
    All that and pretty French women too! You got it made.
    Post up some pics with the French chicks in it when you get it on the road...:):)

    Ratatoulli wow I am so impressed with what you have done with so little, I don't think I will ever complain about my little shed again either.
    your car has the "look" its great and I like the colour so much that I' have decided to paint my truck this shade of orange (tangerine),,,, hot rods got to be bright son hahaha just so no one could possibly miss it on the road
    will continue to follow !

  18. Sheeeez...........that's a supreme measure of Americana over there in your drive. Astonishing job in its own right, let alone....outside....with limited tools ! Very inspiring sir.

    Salut Mech,
    Tu habitez où en France ? Je suis un Britannique , mais j'ai vécu en Bretagne pendant 9 ans jusqu'à il ya environ 3 ans . C'est assez étonnant ce que tu as accompli avec si peu d'outils et dans un tel laps de temps limité . Je dois aussi travailler à l'extérieur , mais au moins avoir accès à un atelier - même si je ne peux pas obtenir mon camion là-bas , et je redoute l'hiver quand je veux faire un travail sur elle . Bon travail jusqu'à présent et je suis impatient de mises à jour plus rapidement! Allez!

  23. Like everyone else has already said, good job! The car looks great so far. Very impressed and inspired with what you have done. Can't wait to see it finished.

    This will be one smooth creamsicle once done. If you're in the mood to do another Renault after this, I'm sure you could definitely improve on a Caravelle.
