There's only two reasons why you are building this very unique coupe and I'm not: Skill & Imagination.

This is really my first major custom build and I'm kind of an amatuer at welding. I did some work on my Packard, but a lot of the major custom work was done by Troy at Damaged Goods Customs. I always wanted to do a custom like this, something no one else has and being able to say I built her. I give a lot of thanks to Mike Bermudez at Damaged Goods Customs for pointing me in the right direction when I need help.

Getting the back filled in

She's looking spot on to the concept art

Looking at your project I'm thinking about putting the 2 leftover halves together to make a short 5 window

Everytime I'm thinking I've bitten off too much with an idea, I look at some of the other builds on here, and think, nope, not too much compared to what others start with and end up with...

Nice work. [cl

I am extremly impressed with your vision and the work you are doing on this project. Your attention to details and proportions are spot on. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one comes along. [cl

That is sooooo CQQL !! Nice work !

you guys have more tallent and insight than me....love seein this stuff..

Awesome !! A man with a vision and acting on it. [cl I compare what you're doing to an artist who looks at a rock and sees a beautiful shape in it - all the ugly just needs to be removed.. [P[P

"Very interesting"

Wow I am with Sniper you just drove the price of four doors up. Great out "of the box" thinking. Just what this site is for. Congratulations great skills also. Get it finished so we can see it running. Steve

A couple of mock up pics. I stopped working on her for a while to work on my Packard. I got to get back on her.
