Thread: My From-Scratch project

Tweet

Made a decision about what I want it to look like. I will need to extend the front of the frame a little to go over the front axle, so it will stay low, (that will give me my front spring perches too....I'll use coil springs.) ... and then extend it so it will go just past the front of the front tires. will be able to move my engine forward quite a bit too. Should make the frame about 15 feet long I think... and give me about 10 feet for the body which should be plenty long enough. Don't know if I can manage making the front fenders like in the picture, but I think I can manage the rear ones, and a tire mount for the side and running boards, and the body really doesn't have much of any curves. definitely has to have the huge headlights, spare tires, and a bunch of other things. may just make regular fenders for the front, with running boards all the way to them. any comments? Think I'm nuts yet?? Think of it as a sort-of chopped up Duesenburg J-type.....but from scratch. It does count as a hotrod if it's shiney, and loud?!?!

BWA HA HA HA!!!!
