Checking In Hey ZZ, This build has been a little while since you have posted. Just wanting to check in to see if you are holding out on us or are you working away and not posting? Either way, I hope all is well with you. Keep up your awesome work it inspires and entertains us less talented...

looks buick or olds by the tail and dash to me

ZZ I don't want to be the devils advocate[ddd. but by looking at the belt line (upper body reveal) does the car have rake in the body and not the roof? I know that some chops lend to a "tail dragger" look (36 ford 3 wind) but, this appears it is going to have some forward rake in the body but...

air compressor ???? ZZ What is your plan for your air compressor? Since your neighbor was so "cooperative" with your plans, I would consider some why to have it outside so you can share the your enjoyment of the smaller space than you wanted. I really get tired of hearing mine in my too small...

Hi Just a suggestion, I would not lap that repair panel in on the lower qtr. I would flange the step on the body and then lay the patch on top in the recess. The reason for this is the when water runs down the inner panel, it will not run into the seam. It is the same principal as a steel roof...

coupe or t style ZZ, I was wondering if you prefer the coupe style or t bucket style and why? Also, What the weight compared to a stock cart? I would love to copy this idea on a smaller version using a mobility scooter for kids to young teens. Any advise you could give based on experience...

ride height? ZZ I have always heard that you need to set ride height to install the MMII cross member. Do you know the tilt angle for the cross member based on the CAD file? (Chalk Aided Design) ? Or what am I missing, I'm assuming more rake than what is shown. Also, when drawing the front...

clearance issue?? Dr C In your last photo where the rectangular tube ties the strut brace to the cross member, did you check for clearance to dump the headers looks like it may want to share that space. If you already checked this great, then I will not interrupt the scheduled program in...

Nice rails ZZ, It appears that you solid weld the rails the entire length. Do you fill the seam completely full of weld? How do you control the warp or twist? What wall thickness? Sorry for so many questions, just think it is an awesome approach and want to learn from your experiences. I...

If your taking a poll I see the conversation turning to the great styling of these cars, so I thought I would chime in here. I saw earlier that you were talking of going the gasser route. While I do think these are cool. I vote that you "do your thing" on it and make it a chopped sectioned...

YEAH!!!! I've been waiting for this since you teased it in the last build. ( I saw the Caddy for sale on a site out of TX for 150k ) I tell you that hoping it makes you proud, not angry... Ready for class to begin. Shawn

Just an idea SS If you have ever seen the Ron Covell video on chopping and sectioning, he cuts the center out of the roof and fills it as you would on a 30s veh. His comment was it keeps the welding out of the center and closer to the edge where it could be planished easier. Remember every...

love it I love this build I am so glad to see it is getting finished. I'm sorry about your brother. Please finish it and let those boys drive the wheels off it with ya. You just can't beat the memories.

Thanks ZZ ZZ Whatever you decide to do I appreciate the time you spend to document the process, it helps us less developed (talented) builders stay inspired. Thanks Again Shawn Corkery

true inspiration Rimspoke, So glad to see you are still plugging away on this. It has inspired me to start a build on my 35 master coupe and use a straight 6 to be different from all the small block rods. Keep us posted, your close.

wood removal Eric I have done this to a 36 coupe. Here is a couple of links that should help. http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/paint-body/0905sr-1935-chevy-wood-removed/ http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/paint-body/0904sr-1935-chevy-wood-removed/

if i dare..... I agree that the lower lights are a bit to large. Maybe a cowl lights??? Hell I don't know why I am even commenting seems you pull it off in spades every time. You are a true artist. This build is awesome to say the least. [P[P[P

time for another clinic Glad to see you back at it ZZ. A car build and a golf cart at the same time. LOVE IT. Will be watching the "Sawsall Surgon" at work, and taking way better notes than in school. You amaze me how you can visualize the ugly away. And then, have the skills to make it...

speedway / blue diamond classics

Snake Farm, Congrats to you and yours. I have read your build complete more than once. It inspires me. See I have owned my long term projects for 15years now. (still not done, but I won't give up.) Like you, I will keep dreaming and and raising my three girls, and picking away. I like how...
