How do you guys emboss the interior panels? Do you actually stamp them or use some sort of buck and chisel type method? They look INCREDIBLE and my curiousity was screaming. Thanks, and the car is absolutely amazing!!!

All of the embossing is done with a bead roller... Thanks for the compliments

A bead roller. Really. Well, I had no idea you could fully depress a solid shape like that! Awesome, thank you!

First of all - Awesome build! I can't wait to see this car at some of the shows.

I have a question related to the front "downtube" (I guess that's what I'd call it) seen in this pic. Is there going to be something else tied into it or am I missing something in this view? It just seems like that might be a weak point with that sweeping bend going to the floor/frame.

Quite possibly there is more to be added, so if so I'll stay posted for the updates. Thanks,

If I am thinking of the same tube as you are, it will have the door bar added to it. We just don't put them in at this point so they are not in the way. I am also up in the air about running it threw the firewall and out the front. But we have so much stuff under the dash it will really be in the way but I would still like to do it. Its just hard sometimes to draw the line on where to stop.

I figured there were more tubes to be added. I know what you mean, it's tough to say - where do you draw the line?

Keep up the good work. Keep the pics coming too - we love Pictures!!!!
