Sledgehammer updates
 

Ok well this was the car's first show (unfinished) but we are getting closer. Should be done by March or Very early April of this year. Not a lot of good photos, but you can see the new DSE billet hinges a bit better. Those things are rock solid, and completely kill any side to side movement the hood once had with normal hinges.

Looking good. A work in progress that still draws people with primer !! :)

looks very nice - can't wait to see finished pics

Yeah I can't wait either. As we speak it's being painted FINALLY!! Yeah the hinges were a hit, everyone wanted to know where to get them.

Looks good! What are you doing for a fuel tank...filler location???

Thanks Tony. It's a Rick's stainless fuel tank, and the filler neck is being redone for the bend. The 67 bends a little more then the 69 does at the same location, so they have to weld a new piece on there to make that sharp transition. The filler location is the same as a 69 as the license plate frame folds back as it does on the 69. I wanted a cleaner look back there.

Some new shots from yesterday. The body is done finally, and now the interior and stance of the car needs to be played with and completed. The rear sits way too high. I'm also looking at other engine options. New front wheels were ordered with a different offset and wider.

looks VERY nice with paint!
What kinda tires? They look just like my eagle F1's, don't see those much.
Stupid question, what's the thing on the firewall where the wiper motor should be?

Looks good! keep us updated! :thumbsup:

Looking good,what engine options are you looking at?

Hey guys thanks. The wiper motor is the lay down type from DSE. Yes those are F1 tires, but will switch to Toyo Proxy R's when I burn these off.

Anything, everything :thumbsup:

I have some twin turbos for sale :unibrow:

hmmmmmmm
The motor I have is not twin turbo ready, Id have to find something that is, and that's something I'm also considering.

Change those pistons and cam and you good to go LOL JK bro

That's a very good option for me. Frank at Prodigy customs may set me up with those very things if I went with a bosted motor. How much for the kit? What does it come with? You can e-mail me privately if you like.

I sent you a PM.

Got it.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Looks very nice, you must be siked.

Looks fantastic. :thumbsup:

The car looks great. I always like when people bring their "work in progress" to car shows. It's neat to see the progress of the build before it's finished. I think Stielow had the Mule at Woodward about a year before it was finished.

On a side note, I want to ask you about the Rhino Liner. How did you apply that? Did you spray it or roll it on? If so...where did you pick up the product and the device to apply it? Thanks.

Awesome car. :thumbsup: '67's and '68's RULE!!! :D :lol:

Sweet...can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks guys. The rhino liner was sprayed on by the company at their location.

Nice car dude! I was the one that called you about your motor. :thumbsup:

What do you guys think?

Sweet! :thumbsup:

very nice - are you building it yourself

If so how on Gods Green Earth do you have the time ?????

Thanks guys. No my friend at Adobe who built my business website is doing this one as well.

Looks good MIke :thumbsup:

Hey Johnny. Yeah it's looks "god" huh. :D
Nice meeting you Allen, and Charlie L today. Great to finally see the Mule in person as well.

lol... looks "god".... Thats funny. :yes: But it does look "good". And it was good meeting you today too. The show might get old, but meeting up with other members never does. :thumbsup:

Jerk off's :D

Love that Blue & silver they go together nicely!
it gonna look awsome lowered! :thumbsup:

Yeah, but the choice of color was Steve Rupp's first, and he was nice enough to let me have the color codes. Yeah, up close it's a fantastic looking car now. I can't wait.

Definitely awesome... :thumbsup:

More pics to slobber over.
