pics are great but this is getting old....

clear and readable attachments please people...

p.s. i really want to follow this build but enough is enough...

72hotrodder · 12-07-2009, 10:42 AM

britnjc · 12-08-2009, 10:31 AM

Hey 72hotrodder
I am originally from Russellville but now live in bham. I am workg on a couple of vehicles now myself. A 1950 GMC and a 65 fastback F*rd Must*ng. the F*rd is bagged with a shawn Hyland motor 4.6 DOHC. I need to come see your shop one day when I'm up there visiting

72hotrodder · 12-08-2009, 07:24 PM

yea man just hit me up. always love to show off the toys

72hotrodder · 12-16-2009, 12:28 AM

well little more work to lucy

cool new shop shirt i drew up

fliped her over to finish welding and cleaning

got the trailing arms and panhard smothed and painted

and new brace

OrrieG · 12-16-2009, 12:43 PM

I like the look of the front clip transition. Too many just scab it on the outside for 3-4" and box it straight back. May work engineering-wise but looks "weak". Yours is longer and cuts back at an angle, just looks nicer.

72hotrodder · 12-16-2009, 02:57 PM

thankyou. i like it ok but since i've done some more work and realize i'm going to build a new cab floor from scratch i may go back and cut off the factory mounts ands blend the frame in better then just rebuild some nicer looking mounts

0331grunt · 12-16-2009, 03:16 PM

You mentioned you are only 23 and some people are impressed... Well, I am! Keep it up! Nice work! Too bad I don't live closer... The Camaro looks sweet and the truck, I'm sure, will look killer, too!

72hotrodder · 12-16-2009, 03:34 PM

well thankyou. i really put my hart and soul into this stuff.

kustombrad · 12-16-2009, 07:37 PM

Dude!! Keep up the good work! Really dig the Camaro and the truck!

**Hart_Rod** · 12-16-2009, 10:46 PM

Nice builds.....

72hotrodder · 12-19-2009, 11:36 PM

well got a little bit more work done to lucy. and the sketch of the final product. built the gas tank from scratch from some leftover metal.

50adrod · 12-20-2009, 12:35 AM

72hotrodder · 12-27-2009, 11:04 PM
