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!

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?
