Customs Telstar,,,movin' right along,,,,,,,,,,,,,

more progress from today,,,,,,,working on the deck area,,,,decent progress so far,,,more to come later tonight,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Go jim go!!!

 

Cool beans,your fordness hardly shows at all.

 

I'm really starting to love the lines on this car man.

Hard to believe you started with a boring ol' slab-sided shoebox Ford!

 

Like that deck lid idea - A lot of really cool shapes going on.

 

that thing is gonna be sick!!

 

I was wondering where this was going!?!?!?!? Now I can see it I LOVE IT!!!!!! It's hard to believe that it started out as a shoebox. What are you going to do about the bottom of the side trim?

 

I think he's trying to make it better, though. Hopefully it doesn't puke when it runs!

Seriously cool car with a lot of talent behind it.

 

The progress on this is remarkable!! Cannot believe how well it is shaping up. . .

Couple of questions, tho. . .

What is going on with the decklid? Is that what you're planning on using? What do the green tape lines represent?

Any ideas on the windshield, yet?

After seeing the photoshop that JamesD did, I can really "see" where this is heading, and man o' man, it is OUTTA THIS WORLD!

 

Your car is looking really good. It looks like its moving standing still!!

 

i have to admit I wasn't a big fan of this build in it's initial stages but I really like the direction it's gone in now and can't wait to see more!

 

the deck area will be non opening,,,im planning on using a hood from a 40 ford or something similar for sort of a boattail look,,,,the green lines represent an idea im kicking around for a raised area,,dont know if ill actually do it yet,,,

the windsheild will be cut down from a 57 chevy windshield,,,picked it up today, in fact,,,,

you are right,,that photoshop JamesD did is FANTASTIC,,i need to post it here later on,,,

OUTTA THIS WORLD is my goal,,,,so mission accomplished,,,lololol

THANKS a TON for the compliment

 

That's a big trunk to not be useable space.

Looks wild man, just wild!

,,JamesDs fabulous photoshop rendering

 

Man I love what this has become from the early stages of the build to now...way cool

 

hey jim i think you need to take 3 more inches out the car right arm ed

 

Jim,is this it?.I mean this car is the way its gonna look right?

 

It cant blast off into the future with no air in that right front tire!

Looks great man, great strides being made. How you dont lose steam is beyond me. Go Diego Go!

 

WOW, I had missed that post...that's excellant!

It's lookin awesome, Jim.

 

Metalwork looks nice. The cut down windshield frame reminds me of early 60's boat windshields, like these.

Awesome project.

I've been following the progress updates.


Very cool...

 

That's lookin real good Jim ! I like the idea of the Boattail trunk area, Bob Metz would be proud !

 

It is starting to remind me of a Chris Craft Cobra... with the Windshield and Rear Deck... a small Fin in the center would be cool!

I can't believe it, that was a Shoebox Ford at one point, right? Would love to see a pic of the car before you started sculpting and one of how it looks now, side by side.

 

Unforeseen, Spectacular, Remarkable, Unimaginable, Tremendous & Breathtaking.

 

Ryan, now you're just adjectifying it
