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. 5190569-SampleLawfish38Coupe.jpg (82 downloads)

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"...

Maybe Ron could provide some inside on the remote hood latches? Maybe point me int he directin of the supplies and ideas how that could work? As far as the window being flush???? I am not sure what you mean? I do need to figure out how to make the wipers work and dont know if there is a way to hide them or not. They currently are installed on the upper side. I would like to do the shaved hinges, but need to figure that out as well. which ones to use. Dave

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.

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.

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? Dave

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'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! http://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/1146927191.html PS: Siler City is really CLOSE to my house...

That will give it a symetrical and well-thought-out appearance, like it was PLANNED that way...

These ready made boxes come n 1 and 2 inche deep boxes. I am thiking that 1 inch at the top, maybe two and almost four or so at th ebottom, what ever it takes with the curve to make it level.

OK, so hows that look---come on Ron, you know what I need, pics man pics. It it looks similar to the one above, then the $25.00 is a deal for me. Just the drive to the junk yard costs that. Not many around here. But if its more like I need to fill the concaved areas, then I think its time for me to hit the junk yard with 4 fresh natteries and a saws all for some pieces and parts. Dave
