Sure looks like a lot of work.

looking great....but is the side body line where it meets the fender ridge way outa wack? or is it just the camera angle?

 

[jodaddy1]

Well it lines up correct up close so maybe this will have to be a 3 footer?? Actually I think its the camera angle try the other side for reference.

 

[jodaddy1]

also a little more done--- everybody says these are hare to make??? Took about 3 hours to make both and that includes cutout. Still need to drill the one but thats like 10 min. Z-Bar mount brackets

 

[jodaddy1]

well finally back in the shop today. Too much work at work and little time for the shop. Got a few things done so I'll get some pics up shortly.

Coolness JD.

Looks like you are making progress.

How are you doin' these days?

I've been out of touch so it's good to catch up.

 

[jodaddy1]

woot i almost thought the project was dropped

Not dropped just "sidelined" for a few. It will get done at sometime. You guys know I don't give up easy but some situations have caused me to delay or slow down on stuff a bit.
Hey Nodda yep its always good to see old friends. Hows the Valiant? hehehe did I read right metal shaving in the oil?? [smilie=2: Whats this change in careers?? Hope all is well!! Well I'll get some pics going here in the near I know nobody here reads so..................

 

[69.5CUDA]

i didnt think youd drop it any more than i would but its been a while huh

 

[jodaddy1]

Sorry its been so long guys, that "life" thing got in the way for a long time. Been visiting regular but just not doing any regular posting or work. Got out to the shop today and clened some cobwebs off stuff, took inventory and desided on next steps to take. Should be back working regular on the project in the next few weeks so...............updates coming not only on the nose and wing but on the complete metal work/ body work and so on.

Good to hear that!!

 

[jodaddy1]

Well as some of you may or maynot know I have had to hand the reins to this project over to another gentleman. Within the next few days he will be taking the car over a state and his son and he will hopefully be completing this crazy car. Shortly there after I will be headed south for new employment and going on. Hope Mr. Clark and his son (the new owners) deside to join here and continue updates on the finish of this.
