Re: Got Rust?

Well... I spent a good part of yesterday out there, so today it will be a trip to the accountants and then maybe go out and clean up (what a mess I made)and take some pics.

Gotta get ready for the big festivities tonight, hopefully I can stay awake that long.

Dirt in the shop is a good thing, means your making progress. This is the first time I didn't have to use a shovel to clean up. You should see mine, I was going to go out and clean up since I'm waiting on parts

Good luck $$$$$$$

Re: Got Rust?

Not much progress lately, but I did stop by my painter's place the other day and he was just finishing up a project that he has been on for 3 years, so I thought I would share some pics. This guy does some incredible work.

Re: Got Rust?

Yeah I know, but right now I'm trying to make some room and get rid of stuff. It's amazing how big these trucks are when you have the top, tub, engine and frame scattered all over the shop. Hopefully some progress this weekend.

Ok Kurt, here you go. No forward progress lately, but I can't work in a trashed shop so this is what I did this weekend. I think I may have some time to get something done in a constructive way tomorrow.







I hope my garbage man isn't a Gen 1 Blazer fan, if so I may see some tears.

Re: Got Rust?

That is one stunning hot rod! Any more info? Was it built for a local customer? Despite being a Ford , I'm lovin' that Cobra lump with the three deuces and the nice, clean job on the instrument panel. I'm not that fond of the ultra-slick, techno-geek look that many builders are turning out these days. This one is just right. Thx for sharing the pics!

I don't know a lot about it because every time I stop by we either talk about my sons Corvette or my Blazer. The only things that I know are that most every piece on this thing was hand made, as far as brackets, seat frames, hood hinges(the hood opens from both sides), etc. I believe the owner is somewhat local, about an hour away, and I know he has over $200,000.00 into it. Don(the painter) is quite talented, much like several of our board members. I've been following this build for over a year and a half.

Most excellent progress!!

Those pics hit alot closer to home than seeing a sexy finished street rod.

Very inspirational, thanks.
Way more than I got done over the weekend by miles.

Thanks, I'm actually fired up to go out and work on it now...next step is to get the frame and axles ready to take to Media Blast, and then I will start to go forward with progress. I've got to get my butt into gear because there is a rumor of some of the board members stopping by this summer...heard anything about that?

Re: Got Rust?

That's a cool pic. Did you figure out how to attach your video?

NO not really... I think I know how to get it on this board, it's the downloading into the computer and then finding it again.
