Good people always find a way. Outstanding for all involved.

hey dave,i've been helping a friend do a secret project for some time. he's building a sleeper street rod. 68 vw beetle with a 350 small block under the hood.should be a fun toy.

tube frame
mustang frontend
373 truck rear narrowed

There is a reason for that my friend!

sounds squirly, lol!

Good to see you back, Dave. Hope your holidays were happy.

Holidays were very nice, thank you.

Christine is still progressing forward, we do have another car in the shop that I have been putting a bunch of time into though.

69 ford ranchero, We've been rebuilding the forward structure. Torque boxes up front, frame rails, rockers, it had a whole lot of rot up front. Basically the inner fender aprons were holding the front of the car on.

where are we at on this project?

I don't know. Is this ghost Dave talking or reincarnated Dave because combining those with Christine could rend a tear in the space time continuum. As we all know you died recently on another thread we need to be cautious.

I'm dead?



Wow, I feel fine though...

Had us a bad rear window tray

Lots of skim coating, multiple primes starting with epoxy, a couple sessions or spray poly, reblock, 2k, reblock, working our way to 500 grit hand blocked.

Everybody's favorite... the color.



the clear

I don't know how you do all that Dave. Hard work, and skilled labor for sure.

Not a bad shine/reflection pre buff.

Nice to see you salvaged a piece of the 'Runner and have it displayed overlooking all the new projects.

Woo! Christine is almost ready to roll eh?

Did the customer pick up the Mach 1 yet?

Wow!

Mach 1 still has transmission issues. It's been back to the trans shop twice now, enough is enough, I'm tearing into it myself this weekend.

Amazing. Really special watching a true artist at work.

Some guys are good at what they do, some are a cut above them, and then some are in a whole 'nother realm. I get that. But what I don't get is how you know all this stuff without any formal training and produce these works of art - the first Mustang, the Roadrunner, Nate's truck, the pearly Mustang, I think there was a Fairlane in there too - my apologies if I missed any.

I'm happy when I break down my Glock and can put it together again without having to watch youtube. I may branch out to my Win 100, you branch out to a Ranchero. Truly awe inspiring.
