It really only needs to knock GWENS socks (well and maybe a bit more) off!!


I'm going to give it to her for her birthday June 15th at the L A Roadster Show... until then I'm trying my best to keep the whole thing secret.

If for some reason it doesn't...............:y0!:


:D

This is the color --- Phil Remmington's (RIP) track nosed '27

The amount of bling on the car is going to look great with the blue. :thumbsup:
Did you get the louvers in the rear panel? How's about a rear bumper, simple tube or? Looks great as is, either way I don't think many will notice the details with Gwen behind the wheel! Has she driven the 32?

Nuff questions
Dan

Couple more.
Interior color? And do you match the top or just go black?

Very cool, I'm done.
:BlahBlah:
Dan

The rear panel gets louvers


The interior is "red" but more subdued red not lipstick red


No rear or front bumpers - they're really overrated...



I'm going to give it to her - that doesn't mean she'll get to actually drive it. What are you thinking?!?!?!?!



The top is black cloth --- the body is blue - the interior is red.

I should have known better...didn't you drive the R8 to Divers and play it off as "her" car!:D

:cheers:
Dan

Greg,

I see whitewalls 'are still in the picture' on that two-tone '56.

Kinda symbolic, huh?



:tv_happy:

That one is most definitely her car.

I love the stance, especially the way the rear wheel and tire fill up the space right to the body line over the wheel. Its going to be an awesome color combination, the Red gut will really pop against the blue. I'm glad it going so smooth for this build. Thumbs up bud!
Oh and good luck with that socks coming off thing too.

Perfect dude:thumbsup: Stance, color, wheels, rusty red interior. No chrome on the spreader bar, paint.

Just keep the hood closed.:lmao:

:cheers:

Thanks Wayne!! My goal was "traditional hot rod WITH attitude"... I think the paint and finish will help add some attitude. Black is an attitude color - but I've wanted a "navy blue" hot rod forever - so blue it is! The red is just another combo color I stole fair and square. LOL


RE: Socks

Dude! I'm old! I'm more interested in a good nights sleep.... HAHAHHAHA






Thanks Rob! Do you really just like it because it's a Ford? :>)

The only time the hood will ever open is when I need to check the oil.

As usual I can't say no more!:king:

Dude --- this is a SIMPLE hot rod.... Your Camaro on the other hand --- that is a wowzer....




Thanks buddy!

Lookin damn good Greg. I like the idea of navy. I love any hue of blue.

Well when you start with a better base it does make it easier. :D I'm not a fan of the deuces but I love the 33s. I really dig the Magnesium look wheels and the muted blue and rusty red. As was mentioned before the rear tire height is dead on. The windscreen and grille profile, sick. When this comes back from paint I need to make a trip to the shop.

:cheers:

Looks good Mr. Weld

Will you ever bring this down to the Roadster show?

Looking good Mr. Weld!

Thanks buddy!

Introduction at 2014 Grand National


Also will be at L A Roadster Show June 2014

Rob (FETorino) texted me a pic he'd taken last year at GNRS... Thought it might show the paint a little better -- even though we know he uses some cellphone technology that originates with string and cans.... HA!!!

Greg, that is sweet! Elegant and Smooth at the same time. I love the LS in it---great idea. Will you drive up for the RTTC here in SO Cal in March? If so, you got a spot in the driveway on Taco Party night fo shizzle.

D

Lol, it's a sweet car. I want a ride in it when it's done!

Very nice,I likey :thumbsup:

Well --- Right on schedule and just like Roy said it would be -- the old POS is at the paint shop.

Turns out nobody has the paint code for the Phil Remmington car I'm copying --- but the owner of the car is taking a piece off the car and sending it to us so we can color match it. That's a real hot rodder for ya!! I'd do the same for someone if they asked me... it's just what we do!

I think they use that same paint on Air Force One.

Perhaps you could inquire...



:P

You think Obama would give a crap about me?? I'm the 1%'r that bastard hates!


Besides -- aircraft paint would be too good (especially if it's on a gubernut plane!) for this old bondo wagon!

That's going to look clean with the 24" Intro wheels u picked out Greg...😄

I'm donkin' it out dude!! Probably be the first hopper '33 Da Briz ever built!


Nuttin' better than one off 24 kt gold Intros!!

Tom Gloy is a good guy. I delivered his tool box to his house last year after Scottsdale.

Pretty good guy to allow me to copy his one offs I'd say!!

"Bondo wagon"


:tv_happy:

Love the car.so you got an R8 and a killer hot rod, i think i figured out who you are,your ironman. !!

:lmao: :underchair:
Greg, coming along nicely. Really gonna like this one. You should keep this one stored in Bellevue while your in Sun Valley, I'll start it up occasionally for you:idea: :P

Nah -- You're all wrong -- I got nuthin'.


It's easy for people to post up all manor of stuff sitting behind a keyboard. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

You get my text last night????


Please tell me you have a phone that texts!! If not - how I could possibly let you fire off my hi-tech hot rod??

I've got a gov. pos phone, just looked and low and behold there sits half a text. Son's redoing the settings now then game on....Vroooooom Vroooom!
Watching a little Barrett Jackson as we sit, got a friends car going across lot 703. :popcorn2:

Get it done before Thanksgiving, Im going out to Santa Clara for a couple days and Im going to stop by Sid's shop

Well that'd be fun for ya Knee Brass Ka boy! It's in paint and body now -- then I think the way it works is it goes back to Roys for assembly and wiring and stuff.... THEN it goes to Sids.... I'll see when I stop by the shop next week.

A little primer on.....



The wheels are INTROS.
