Humm... unless you just cant read. I never called myself Troy. I stated that I an only hope to be like him. As for "Run of the Mill HA!!" Thats a 47 Desoto with a 5.7 Hemi that was completed in 02. Yup, run of the mill.:thumbsup:

Ok, enough with the "disturbance" of this thread. I'll start a new one. ;)

The car is on the ground and looking great. The rims are simply mock ups but used to get the correct tire clearance/backspacing and look. Not too much left on the nova except for some dash finishing touches, exhaust work and finally the engine compartment. Now some pictures! Have a great thanksgiving!

How do they get that look on the sheetmetal? No sanding/grinding marks. It looks almost like a car that just got acid dipped.

The Rad Rides crew has an interesting philosophy on projects in-progress.. they'll never leave something "unfinished" looking, even during the build. It makes sense, as the owner, or a magazine photographer may stop in at any time, and they always want the stuff to look cool. So all through the builds they sand metal with a fine grit DA so that it looks that way. You won't see rusty parts, or stuff with rattlecan paint on them, 1/2 primed, etc.
