Stance looks familiar

Imagine how sick that AMG would look on a set of INTROS......:rofl:

Wouldn't this car look better W/ some 15" corvette rally wheel's & BFG's TA's,then those intro's.:willy:

These could be the bomb with the brown paint:

:woot: :woot:

I'm thinking this for the trunk lid

No need for a mural as I'm sure the car will be a pantie dropper when complete. :D

Agree 100%. I wouldn't change it---looks mean like that---it needs the glass in in to finish off the body lines---

D

LOL---too funny.

Stop!! Stop!! You guys are killing me.:rofl: :rofl: For real, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Back in the late 80's when I was in high school, guys had the triple gold wire wheels in a 13" or 14" sticking out 2"-3" past the fender. That was cool as hell back in the day, but boy was it silly. And you are right Sieg, your car had to be brown if you had triple gold wire wheels. And, Dayton's were too expensive, so everyone had either McLean's or the one's picture here with the Eagle on the centercap.

Nice progress guys.is the frame in the car ? or are you guys just playing with the ride height for the new chassis to follow suit? the way the cad drawings looked this is going to be a unibody car? or is the chassis going to bolt on? keep up the great work. ps. you might want to add more length to the pedal travel so gregs legs can reach the pedals.:lol:

The Final prototype Chassis is FINALLY under the car. That is as low as the ride height can go on our chassis.

The Car has adjustable electric Brake and Gas pedals from a modern car. That should make it more comfortable for everyone.

I am hoping this chassis looks half as nice as the one under your black Truck.

PS. I am not sure Greg could afford the three girls maybe just the painting of them. Of course that might get him in trouble also.

I don't understand you guys -

"The car looks too low".

You can tell me the car is functionally too low and will hit driveway ramps or speed bumps. But this crap about "the car looks too low" , that is not possible.

Okay the idea of a 1" rake back to front would look good though.

I agree - I love the stance and if this is a completly Bolt-On Chassis that is pretty Awesome.

It's like I said to Rodger.... there's only one guys opinion that counts... and that's the guy that is paying the bill. :cheers: :woot:

However... everyone needs to remember that Ironworks is also developing the chassis for these cars ('58 to '64 X frame cars) and this was/is the basis for this car being built in the first place. So if you like LOW... then this is the chassis to look for because obviously it get's 'er done!

Well Said :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

I'm really looking forward to seeing this car at finished stance and in paint.........even if you don't go with the wire wheels. :unibrow:

Greg,

Really looking forward to what you and Rodger/IWK end up with since you're starting with a clean sheet of paper.

At the end of this colorful saga, I suggest a set of Intro wheels be given to the loyal, enduring thread subscriber (human or automated) that correctly guesses how many paint samples you'll end up having looked at.


:lateral: :woot:

Uhm, Doubt it - see Rodger borrowed them from Kenny 62 that is at his shop waiting for a Chassis to be completed. So unless Rodger coughs up the Money to pay for them, then they need to go back to Kenny.

Today was a fun day, We rented a scanner in Orange County this weekend and Bob Braga brought it up to the shop to scan many elements of the 62 Bubbletop. We are working on designing the grille, headlight bezels, gauge pod for the dash, taillight bezels and side trim. We got a lot of details hammered out and look forward to progressing on with the project.

Did you scan Greg so you can make a custom GW hood ornament or bobble-head for the package tray?

Man, this car is getting some special treatment. Good stuff.:thumbsup:

I think we're starting to get hooked on the technology. Carefull - you'll wanna buy one of those rigs for your shop !! :yes:

Jim

I don't know of any shop that could justify the need for a piece of equipment like that. That romer arm with perceptron laser scanner and tripod is over $150k.
Renting the scanner and designer who can run the software is much cheaper and cost effective.

Maybe if Greg buys one for Ironworks they will do his car for free:lol:

I have friends that have talent and know how to sign a rental agreement....

Bob spent all day scanning the stuff we (Rodger) wanted him to get done. Then I took him to Bakertucky International Airport. Not sure if he got a flight home or not since there were no aero planes in sight! LOL

I'm still here -- and will start hauling the broken '32 home in the morning. It's been an epic trip!

^^ broken 32?? ^^

....(gulp)......

Rodger / Greg,

I'm looking forward to seeing how the scanned images translate into SolidWorks files. Looks really cool.

Coming To Cali
 

I WILL be at Goodguys Pleasington and will travel down to Delmar Goodguys also ..YAY .solid week plus of hot rods. Hope to get a look at your shop and meet you guys. :D

Tom

NOoooooo!

Weld...the car is amazing. Such a bummer that it's been a pain to get it done right. Sure, cars like that will have a small issue or to during shake down, but it's been a bit much. Especially for what you've paid for it. Sorry to hear it's still not 100%.

This technology has been around along time.



Greg was scanned as well... and uh... his parts will be upgraded.

Lord only knows.... I have some parts that are pretty well abused!

:woot:

So I'll get hammered on this -- but on Monday we worked on a few details -- seat position - dash - and pedals etc - as well as the stance.

Brycen had to take the dash out of the car and cut it all apart to make the changes I asked for. Pretty amazing that he was able to do this while we worked on some other stuff! The dash is going to be moved "out" about 3 INCHES so I can reach the switches and the stereo etc. We also SUNK the gauges into the dash - and angled them... Of course these are just mock up pieces as they'll be tapered and much more detailed than these cups are.

Put a jack under the rear end and put a little boost into it... this is up about an inch...

I'm not going to make any derogatory comments about changing the dash to fit you. After all, AMG plucks homeless Germans of various heights/weights off the streets to make sure customers of all sizes fit their cars. You're proof of that. :thumbsup:

Two things stand out in these pics.

1- That's a nice Nova in the background.

B- Raising the rear 1" shows off the Intros better. :yes:

Gotta love a good Intro....


:D

funny !!!!


i love that stance better .

Much better! :thumbsup:

Greg base on what you shared with me at GNRS, thats going to be........... "THE BEST FING DASH IN THE UNIVERSE" :D
