Gota love old cars and new tools

Something to make my playing around easier [cl

 

[soltz]

A little update

Put one of the new tools to work, flanging car section to set the new top on. And now the hole is all closed up. [cl
Now the body comes off for new floors and chassis rebuild and bag instalation[

 

[Sam_Fear]

Here are a few variations.

 

[soltz]

Outstanding

If you haven't figured it out Sam Fear is a wizard. [dr

 

[Sam_Fear]

Was in a hurry and forgot to say what I did.

1. chop only.
2. bobbed the bed.
3. bobbed and section the top of the bed.
4. moved the wheel well back. (no bob)

 

[soltz]

Got it thanks [cl

I like Sam's #3 the best. Looks to be moving along though!!!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Here.

1. #2 from above slammed.
2. shorter by about 2"
3. longer by about 2"

BTW - Soltz PM'd me asking if I'd do a few photchops - I'm not just highjacking his build!

EDIT: well, this one is kinda a highjack .... one more fer fun - thought maybe skirts would look good. (you'd need to get rid of the flare) and then it didn't quite look right unless I lowered the front fender opening a couple inches also. Shaved door handle too. I'm really trying to make work for you Soltz!! [

 

[soltz]

When the owner benifits from highjacking it's OK

Sam_Fear that's ok. If it were satin black it would be finished. Now if you can take you magic wand and make it real [cl
Your version is cool but I leave the low rider thing to my brother, but I do plan to shave the door handles and yes that would be lots of work.[cl
Thanks again, you rock[cl

Kid's are a good thing. Most of the time anyway and mine of course are great

 

[Dirtyrat]

I think it is a great thing, shows them what goes in to building a car, and what it takes to fix them, gives that knowledge which should lead to some more responsible driving...
