It was nice to meet you as well! The support is much appreciated!

Ok, back to the shop today. Got to see my new rubber for the first time. Tried not to let anyone see me hugging them. Can't wait to get the Hot Rods By Boyd wheels so I can mount them.

Thanks for the compliments, I am learing a lot as I put this thing together. I love testing my own limits

Thanks! Definitely feels like the right time. Things are cominging together smoothly.

Just when I didn't think it could get more interesting, you go throw 2015 Mustang IRS in the mix!

So are you able to purchase that set up new or is it a wrecked ebay deal already?

I swear this thread is like crack; excellent work!

Sweet! You gotta love other people wrecking new cars.

I'm interested to see what you end with for upper shock and spring mounts. Ford looks to have mounted those quite vertically and your buck looks to taper quickly! I've got full confidence! :trophy-1302:

I probably missed it, what tire sizes?

265/40/19 front set up for a 19x9. 305/35/20 rear for a 20x10.5. The front tire is 27.4 tall and the rear is 28.4 tall

Thats looking beautiful! Amazing job.

That windshield frame looks spot on and so badass. Are you going to have this completed by SEMA or is it going in whatever stage it's in when the time comes?

It will go as a project. Whatever it looks like is how its going. I have an idea of how and what I want to have done by then. The completion date for the car (if all goes well) is april 18th 2017.

Kill'n it kid :thumbsup:

So nice to see your vision come together, proud of you buddy!

Thanks Scott, much appreciated. Ill be 30 in 2 months so kid status is only good for a short time longer.

lots of updates!

Well, there has been a lot going on over the past few weeks on the Duck! since my last update a good friend and photographer Bob Ryder came by the shop and worked his skills to take some detailed shots of the car for me.

once he was done I got back to working on the roof skin and I got the upper edge of the rear window made and in.

I also was able to get the left rear side of the roof made and in place as well as a good start on the right side.

Very cool man... as a guy that made historical armor, I really appreciate the planishing that goes into those corners. Looks like a shoulder spaulder :)

awesome work.you should set up a go pro and video the process on some of that metal work for us all to see.

Just Love watching someone with such talent.
