I see a SMOTY in the future. Your ideas and fabrication skills are 2nd to none. The amount of talent that is working on this car is beyond words. Absolutely incredible.:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Garickman, well put! I could have said it better myself. Simply amazing, I will see you five hails and raise you one, LOL. :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

It is more impressive in person. Good seeing you again Troy.

Okay, Okay we get it, your a badass, NOW STOP SHOWING OFF J/K

I love watching this thread, work is 2nd to none. And I will continue the all hail

Awesome metalwork guys! very impressive.:thumbsup: Good to meet you in Columbus.

My Thoughts

Skip Sema - and freak people out with a Finished car at Columbus next year

Them's some mad skills you got there:thumbsup: Beautiful metal work.

Probably the greatest "build thread" my eyes have ever gazed upon! :wow:

Yeah, amazing work hiding the cage and making it all flow.

Updates Pleeeeeeeease :D

Wow, Wow Wooooow! a hidden roll cage. Super clean metal work covering it up, not to mention all the other panel work going on in there.

Amazing creativity, vision, and execution on the interior! :bow:

Matt

is this car going to sema this year ???

Not as of yet but Troy may be bringing it there in the raw if it does go. I'm sure he'll chime inn here soon. He's been a busy man with a WAY more important project to finish.....:_paranoid

Looks cool, any idea how much weight all that extra metal will add to the car?

$ weeks......week need updates! Starting to get the shakes :willy:

flat out unreal...

I have dreamed about taking the time to cover a cage like that. I honestly though anyone had the balls to spend that much time and effort to blend everything so nice with tubework behind there.

hats off guys, I'm absolutely in shock as to how cool this is.... I cant wait to see the final product. I'm willing to bet that 99% of the people who look at it will never know there is tube work back there. The only reason the other 1% know is because they are on this forum :D


Jason

The only way I could possibly more impressed is.... if it was mine!:lol:


Holy cow man! :hail: :thumbsup:

Incredible build, not sure how I missed it. The cage you built is exactly what I have in mind for my build, I guess I need to get to work...

This guy is building a way cooler car than this one!;) :D

prove it!:thumbsup:

That interior work is flat out amazing!!

Probably none at all. I know the door panels and quarter panels and dash are all lighter than the original. The only part that MIGHT be heavier than the stock is the headliner and if it is its not by much. Alll the stock panels were either made from partical board or steel. Everything here is aluminum.

Are you guys going to the decatur hot rod show this weekend?

WOW i have to drive up there to check out your stuff if you dont mind im in chicago

Hey Troy,

Can you shed some light on your metal finishing practices? I know you tig everything which makes cleaning it up easier. Do you finish with a DA or random orbital? What grit? I've only seen a small angle die grinder in your pictures.

I don't think I've ever seen such uniform finishing, its jaw dropping! I keep going through this thread just to try to glean more
insight!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Insane build, updates??

I made an engine cover out of aluminum. I have welded it before just not to to the extent of what I was doing. Welding both sides is pretty much a must. I really wish i had a pullmax....

This looks amazing btw...it does.

This car is going to cause a lot of jaws to drop. I love it!!

Awsome metal work.

Amazing!

That's out of this world!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Saw the consule in person on Saturday

WOW !!!

This has got to be one of, if not the best build on here. I saw the Torino in last years Grand National Roadster show. Any chance to see this one there?

Can you show us more pictures of those rear seats? and maybe a brief write up. What type of foam, are you using a heavy gage wire for structure, etc..

Brett, blown away. Mad mad skills.:guns: :drool:

That console is just straight up sick!! I love it!!
