    That photo of the front shock/motor mount bracket chromed, with perfectly perfect welds, should be made into a gad-dang poster!

    That is ART.

    If I was a welder, that would make me want to scrap my rig in the morning. Ruler.
     
  11. That's amazing! Fine craftmanship. The lakes headers, engine mounts and dash are simply perfect. I can't wait for part 3.

    What is the welded in dash insert with the star patterns from? I read that the gauges were from a '57 Ford. Is the dash from the same?

    Looks like 59 Ford pick-up. I picked up one at a swap thinking the same thing.

  14. 57-60 Ford pickup used that gauge cluster with the stars. Never would have immagined it in a deuce dash, but it looks bitchin!!

    Wow! Amazing work! It looks so simple, but yet so detailed. You nailed the look. A 1932 Roadster has been done so many times over, but yet this has it's own look. Instant classic.

    How come you didnt grind and smooth out those welds before chrome?
    What a work of art. I just found my new screen saver. Very Nice Job.
     
  26. This is why I build cheap cars. I can't do this kind of work and can't afford people who do.

    Unbelivable car Brian... Simply perfect...
