Thread: Wow, just wow!!

Tweet

I've learned in life that just when you start thinking you are great someone comes along to bring you back down to earth. This thread is running on the HAMB, and I don't think Langy will mind me posting it here, we've exchanged PM's before and he is a really nice guy...............and EXTREMELY talented.

Look at the pains he took to make his 32 a super cool hot rod.

OH, and he lives in ENGLAND...........can you imagine trying to get hot rod parts there?

now that man is talented. what a wonderful job.

That is stunning, what an amazing attention to detail.

nice. dude likes green, apparently.

Wow, see what ya mean! He is quite a craftsman.
That must kill him tho when parts finally arrive and ya can't use them because of a screw up on the other end.

Wow is right! wow.

The builder, Langey, is one of the "main guys" on the NSRA UK site - and is really knowledgeable in most car items

love that kelly green flake

Well after reading that entire thread, I think I would have to give Steve the Detailer / Builder of the Year Award (if there is such a thing) or at least the British equivalent of it. Maybe a tad too much green metal flake for me, but then I wouldn't expect otherwise from a Limey, unless it was BRG of course.

Don, I think you and Ken need to step up and challenge Langy in your next documented builds. Can't be letting a Brit show us Yanks up!

By the way is your 394 going to look that sweet??

Well, thanks, Ken would be able to give him a run for his money, but that stuff is WAY out of my league. I know my limitations, I build basic cars. When I see someone like this who takes such great pains to do little details and who have so much creativity, it really drives home that point even more. I'm like a pair of brown loafers at a black tie affair.

It is a nice car for the pics that I had that opened. But the front cam crossmember?? I thought it was a little off the mark for the car???

I guarantee you he has some serious cash (pounds in GB) in that car. When I was stationed over there I knew a guy that had his 76' firebird painted and it cost him a whopping $20,000 to have it painted..That’s not including the bird sticker on the hood. He bought that in the stated when he was on leave for $1000.00 and when he got back and tried to put it on it got ripped and wrinkled. He went to have it made in England and paid $2500.00 for the same one. I’m not even going to ask how much money does he have tied up in shipping and handling for parts from the US for that car...$$$$$$

That wasn't my favorite part of the car either, I have to admit, but at least he had it chromed and detailed with more green paint. Like any other build, there are things we all would do differently, but this guy is a madman when it comes to details. He must work with stainless a lot because some of those one-off pieces he made look like a factory turned them out. Too much work for me, I even get tired dialing 1-800-car-parts.

Your not gonna like the rear one then for sure The cam is the original cam from the 394.

Hi Guys, just got a link to this site which i didn't know about so popped in for a look around, My name is Steve Lang and i'm just just a guy in the U.K. that enjoys building Hotrods and nothing more, Thanks for the kind comments as they are appreciated.

As for the money i have in this car i don't mind telling that it is £11,000 which at the moment is 16,029.78 USD, its the most expensive car i've built for myself but i've kept the cost down by doing everything myself apart from the trimming.

Not as much as you thought i bet ?

Cheers for now and happy hotrodding
Steve.
