Wow! Nice metal work. Don't worry too much about getting people to watch this thread. It's very active and, as already said, there are a lot of lurkers. Most of us don't post if we have nothing to add but we are watching. I'm subscribed.

 

Dude; is your last name Winfield? Great job! subscribed

 

shucks... this is gonna be fabulous. sub'd

 

Haha thanks for the compliment!

 

And the passenger side. Should I mount the bumper and trunk... Or work the door jams? I don't wanna do the jams...

 

Thank you for sharing! I think I'll save those 59 lights for when I get a van! I'm pretty dead set on the 56 bezels now. I've already started to clean and trim them.

 

Hay, let me guess the year of this Photo.

Shoe Box Ford style custom front end. 4 wheel drive stance. Raised white letter tires on back only. Shades of Little Bat in the rear. 10 lbs of metal flake. Graphics. No bumpers. A tilt front end on a Flop Top and Horse Power in your Face. Man the 60's were hard on some of us builders. Then there's a Slammed 57 behind it with scallop's. I'm going to say 1975.
How'd I do? The Wizzard

 

any updates?

 

Yup, many of us just follow without posting, and if someone says what I was thinking, I click the like button.
I can see you have the talent. Looks good!

 

My guess would be that it has not been nearly long enough to make it forgivable. Look at the attire of people at the show, and the low profile tire behind held up by the cardboard spokes model.

I bet it was post-2001.

 

Update... Got the trunk supports cut out, trunk mounted again. And it still fits. Got the bumper mounted back up and straight. And I took it off the Jack stands, I had to see what it looked like on the ground after doing this much work. Next up.... Door jams. Ugh.

 

What a build.
I will follow fore sure.

This is amazing. I love the look of the car. Can't wait for more updates

 

Just wow. Balls of steel my friend. Keep posting.

 

What's your background work wise? It's looking good....

 

I'm a tattoo artist. If anyone has an instagram, you can see my work. @ry_tang_tattooer

 

awesome metalwork

 

So we can expect some interesting designs on the final product?

 

I sure hope so!

 

Awful job. subscribed

Leaking oil? No, sweating horsepower

 

I guess I'll do the jams today.

 

Got both door jams done today. 4 inches removed.

 

Glad to see some more progress!

 

Damn dude, you're killing it!

 

Nicely done.

 

I agree very smooth nice work! Hobo Jim

 

Amazing work so far, can't wait to see it come together. I gotta ask the seating position, will you lower the floors, or do you end up riding high in the car? Is this a permanent top less ride - Arizona I can see that. Keep the updates coming, more pics, more pics.

 

I'm gonna have to make everything. The seats will have to be really low. And yes, permanently a convertible.

 

I've always wanted to find a cheap ugly duckling to chop and slice the crap out of just to learn and see what it turns out as. You're making me jealous right now. Coming out great
