I put in a phone call to a certain South San Francisco shop to file a formal complaint....

GW calling SSFS-'This is Greg Weld, I'd like to talk to the pre-paint spare wheel dept. I have a complaint.'

SSFS-'Greg, glad you called. HQ wanted to tell you how little prep work your car needs to get it ready for paint. Man, that will save of uh.. how do you pro-touring posers say it, a lot of :G-Dub:?'

SSFS- 'So, what was your complaint?'

GW- 'Really, I'll save how much?!

Uh, I uh wanted to complain about the traffic in your area when I'm allowed to visit.'


:sarcasm_smiley:


Ok...back to black(walls).

:D

I see what you are writing about
 

on the wheel change, but I think the addition of the hood and sides took a the raw look away from it as well.

I would have to drive it both ways...engine covered and not covered and put those wheels back on.

Greg, this pic is just sic, one badazzzz ride. For me, this pic would almost be the end result... It just looks nasty I'm tellin' ya!!! Hooty hoo

I used this exact car as an example of what I wanted when we first started this project... I just didn't want the Ferrari motor!!

The rail and body is "proper" on this one isn't it?

I'd like to hear and ride in that with the Ferrari motor.........but wouldn't care for the maintenance/liability issues. That said, it is a very cool car!

Some updates --- although it does appear that Rob took these with his cell phone....


The little whoopteedo at the bottom of the dash is a direct knock off of what Vic Edelbrocks newest '32 has -- it's for the A/C controls....

Typical Swan neck mirrors --- nothing earth shattering here!!

One on each side. This is a DRIVER --- not a show car trailer queen... old folks gotta be able to see to change lanes!

Slash cut tail pipes..... and I think the rolled pan is supposed to have louvers... so mentioned that to Roy when I got these pics today.
