Thanks for the opinions guys!
I tried to take a picture that showed the size in proportion to the rest of the car. The ornament was supposed to flow with the fins on top of the headlights, but may have gotten a little carried away.
The headlights have a 10.5inch diameter
Yeahhh they're not movin' real fast with this build. One of our guys just finished the hood ornament and it looks awesome! I'm not sure it goes with the Salt Flats theme they were going with though ... opinions??
That's awesome Mike. I can't say I remember that '92 race (as I was only 5) but I have read a lot about it, Kulwicki is definitely a driver to be respected. My boss talks about it all the time because Bill Elliott is his favorite driver. As you put it on another thread, it was the end of an era.
I sound like a broken record saying this after all the previous posts, but that copper is hott!
Can't wait to see the Coupe build! We're working on a '29 right now. Keep us updated!! :D
Added some yellow
Roughed it up
Working on the interior panels -John cutting off the excess - this was my first stab at welding :D
Steering column is in
They're in the shop right now working on the rear axle ...
All Finished!!
The '39 Ford is all finished! John decided to stick with all black. Dennis Hamlin is interested in buying it for his son. So, unless Denny decides he wants something different, it'll stay that way. We're taking it to them to check out the finished product when they get back from...
I apologize for not having an answer for you yet! I haven't forgotten! I just have to hound the boss to get him to remember things.
(There are bolts in his neck that keep his head attached ;))
The exhaust is on!
The hood is finished! - He decided on black instead of keeping the bare metal
All that's left is a little fine tuning! And to decide on accent colors :D
Yep! I think if he put red lines on both doors with EVERYTHING else on the car being black, it would just feel random and out of place. IMO doing the seat, steering wheel, wheels, and the rest of the interior black was kinda overkill.
