Yes, I really AM working on it! This is just the first rough sketch... and seeing if we hit the new skool/old skool feel well enough. Shoot me a PM if you would please, I have some questions/comments.

Also, need a good image of that Chrysler Fire Power script so I can get it worked into the side of the hood.

That looks great so far Bruce , cant wait to see the finished product Ron...

Bruce, looks great. I sent you a BIG image of the Chrysler Firepower.

So, at the risk of starting a PUBLIC debate, how do you feel about making the windshield flush? Shaving the hinges and door handles? I know I trimmed off the wipers. Unless you're talking a totally FAIR weather car, I don't think that's really practical, but it makes for smoother and cleaner "art"...

Oh, another thing, what are the chances of a remote hood release and getting rid of those ungainly handles? If you can make that work, it'll give you more freedom in how you can fit the Firepower script in...

The flush glass is like modern cars are built. It means moving the windshield channel OUT in the direction of the outside surface of the windshield and not having any molding around it. You see it on lots of rods these days, but I'm sure it's easier said than done...

It's REAL easy for me to draw things that make LOTS of work for YOU.

On the hidden latches, you could look at a thread called "Powerwagon Buildup pics" by MACHO in the truck forum. About middle way down the third page he built a pair of latches to hold the tilt frontend down and something like that might work for you.

Here's the rear view... shows the dual exhaust trumpets inset into the rear pan with a molded lip, recessed license plate, frenched 3rd brake light, running boards blended into the fenders, and LED tail lights with blue dots of course!

Bruce, that looks great. I love the tail pipes and the third brake light below the back window. Now all I need to do is learn how to build it. I wonder if they make a ready made can for the license plate or if I need to fabricate that out of stock?

Any one know?

Cool! I've started the pen and ink, so HOPEFULLY the color will come next week... but I've got some ideas rolling around in my head for the final art that will probably take some time. It's gonna be COOL!

Now, I LOVE being busy and all, but DANG folks are piling on! I wish I could do this stuff faster, but I'm only one guy, with a regular gig AND a family!

My biggest hope is that folks don't get teed off at me over the time it takes!

I won't get teed off at you...I PROMISE!

That's too easy Dan! As far as I recall, you're not on my waiting list!

Just trying to relieve your sense of panic and allow a deep breath of peace!

I will, one day, I hope, commision you for a rendering of a future project, but for now I will enjoy your work from here!

Appreciate the reprieve, but I GOT to do this one! I'm really getting into it, PLUS I have to do stuff in the order folks came online...

Now, you need to build THIS to have a hauler for your rods. It would be cool with a Cummins and a roll-back bed to haul your rods and projects!

PS: Siler City is really CLOSE to my house...

mounted as they show------ I dotn like it, I like the way Bruce did it in the concept pic a ot better, but its deeper at the bottom, so I will have to mod it up.

Dave

"Artistically" speaking, I centered the one in your drawing between the tail lights and also made the top line of the plate "box" the same height as the top of the tail lights. That will give it a symetrical and well-thought-out appearance, like it was PLANNED that way...
