Brian's posts are like Meth once you get that first taste you just keep coming back for more

 

Incredible design,engineering,welding,craftmanship and artform. Thanks for sharing and please keep the pics coming.

 

My fellow Welshman says it all! Amazing

 

Brian,

I spent a lot of time at P&P with one of my students looking at the coupe you drove there. I could tell you were talented, but this new build is talent of the highest order. I am extremely impressed. The thing is, I am not sure what I am more impressed with; your fabrication skills or the way you handled those "critics". You are a class act and if I see you at the LSR, I'd like to buy you a beer. That and pick your brain. LOL.

BTW, if any of you armchair engineers can build something better, than put up or shut up.

 

bingo! nice job Brian!

 

Brian: Jeff Norwell called me a few days ago in a panic about your post and fine pic's you have posted for all of us to view and enjoy. You have are building a "hot rod" which will be admired for years to come as all others will attempt to copy your art work, however; they will never duplicate what you have created. Excellent work..... Can't wait to see it in Austin....

You have created a piece of rollin' art.....

 

I know we are prejudiced, but you are an outstanding fabricator/builder. And a great son.

Brian's proud parents....Bassfire and Mrs. Bassfire

 

WOW! That was one of the coolest things I ever read here!!!

How could you NOT love that???!!

We're proud of him too and a huge inspiration to builders everywhere!

 

I second that!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is too cool.

 

Well Ive read through the majority of the posts on this.It surprises me that people jump to criticize someones work or say that cant be done.
When I first joined this site your work is the first I saw.Its the reason I started paying attention to the threads here.Your work is excellent.Im sure people criticized Gene back in the day as well.
Look forward to seeing this car progress.

 

Nice! You SHOULD be proud, he does nice work.

 

Mr. Bass thanks for taking the time to post all of the pictures, information, & the time you used to answer questions. I read your Hemi Coupe build twice. After seeing your work I have been more careful building my Coupe. My Coupe will be better & safer, THANKS. This build is 'beyond words',...Thank you again for all of the help & inspiration.

Very high quality build with admirable attention to detail, some people just don't get it & never will . I like the way you explain yourself & keep your cool ,keep up the journal entries , it's very educational, as are the comments , if you know what I mean .

 

Mad Skills Man! Awesome work! now I'm going to Go back and redo everything on my truck, Thanks

 

Very interesting series of photos , thanks

 

That is the cool'st compliment ever...and well deserved!

Rick.

 

'Its a 'HOT-ROD' ! .........when you are at the top of your game, you will always get the wannabee's having a dig.

Bass, keep it up mate ,looks like you have made mum & dad proud also

 

I am diggin it!

Fishman, You do a damn fine job of making something fuckin'A Complicated look simple and graceful. You know You have done it right when someone who doesn't know any better walks up to it and after an explination say "You mean they didn't come this way from the factory?"

My Wife said that about Your coupe at P-N-P. I took it as about the best damn compliment that could be given.

It looks like it grew there. all of it.

 

I would like to see more pictures of this work of art in progress please!

 

I would like to point out that Brian has most likley put more work into assembling the pics and text for this post about a frame that most poeple put into thier actual frame. Thanks for the letting us see it.
