Customs TELSTAR: dark side of the moon,,,,

no, this is it,,,,,
sold it to a hamber in finland a few years ago..

 

a little more work,,,
out of welding gas,,had to quit for today,,

 

with all the welding you do it might be wise to just run a hard line to the supply store. i am anxious to see the other sid get finished.

 

lol....you are right about that,,,
this IS the other side...
thats why the post is called "dark side of the moon",,up until now the only work i had done (besides the sectioning) was on the other side..

 

sweet!

 

some work on the grille opening and headlights, , ,

 

It looks like an alien. I think you should paint it HOK primer green, haha!

Seriously though, it does look pretty cool.

 

a lil' more,,,,,

 

Seriously one of the coolest things I have seen done. I don't see a single thing I'm not in love with.

 

loving it...

looks great.

when in doubt cut the shit out of it. ha

 

Go Jim, Go!

 

whole lotta weldin' goin' on, , , got the fin 2/3 of the way welded solid, welded in the front of the hood, welded in the filler piece above the wheelwell, , , buy stock in welding wire guys!!, , , just takin a little breather, and back to welding, welding, and guess what?, , , MORE welding. . .

 

ok,,,,,,no more shoebox.....lolol..the hood was the last telltale sign.....

 

Looking good, thanks for the updates. Gary

 

Weirdest thing, I was looking for an update on this and it got bumped! Looks awesome, keep it up!

 

Jim, this is the new hood opening shape, yeah? I really like it. Reminds me of 57-58 Eldorado Brougham (not that I've seen one in a long time!). Front or rear opening?

 

moar! this is awesome, subscribed.

 

Amazing Jim....

it fantastic to see this project grow and get better and better all the time.

 

Total "Transformer". Can't believe there is a Shoebox Ford in there somewhere!

 

JIM, Man, Your a weldin Fool! Love the grill opening,Im thinking of changing the grill openin g on the merc. Later Mike

 

Your one talanted dude!

 

Lunacy!!!!!

 

Cool Beans! I think everyone should built a one off custom like this at least once in their lives. Weld Weld Weld, grind grind grind, Weld Weld Weld....

You are never happier in your life when you make that last tack....until you start building another one, that is!

 

Looks great Jim! Love the hood opening. This is going to be one bad MOFO when it is done.

 

thanks everyone for all the great comments, , , it really means a lot to me, , little by little, the car will get finished, , sometimes the amount of work left to do feels a little overwhelming, , but it's slowly gettin there, ,
