    Done and painted.

     



    I don't post on these forums much but I wanted to share some pics of my 29 now that it's done. Glass car, glass fenders, built it myself over a three year period, first fiberglass car and it was alot of fun and I learned alot about doing a glass car, ( trial & error ) The only thing I did not do is spray the paint, but I did all the prep work and blocked it and primed it and got it ready to shoot. SBC/TH 350 mopar 8 3/4 3:91 gears. The interior I sewed myself, I ordered pleated vinyl from Garys upholstery in Florida. SW Wings gauges, Lokar shifter, I had alot of fun doing this car, and at 63 it may be my last one, hope the pics load OK.

    Thanks jyardgirl, I keep saying this will maybe be my last build and yet I'm looking in the classifieds for another project. I guess it really is in our blood.

    Thanks cffisher, I guess you're right because I learned alot on this one. Fiberglass itches, roadsters are SMALL, fiberglass itches, this is still and always will be fun, and did I mention fiberglass itches. I'm thinking a 32 3 window when I sell this one. Maybee in a year or so, I want to drive this for a while.

    If you look up "Hot Rod" in the dictionary, a picture of your car should be there. That, Sir, is a HOT ROD. Love it. It sits right, has the right wheels and tires, and the color is different enough to set it apart.

    I understand what you mean about this one might be your last. I have a couple of years on you and have to admit the urge to build another one at our age is not as intense as it was a while back. But somehow the sickness takes over and we find ourselves right back in the garage, burning, cutting, and generally hurting our bodies all over again.

    Nice job.

    Thanks, I think if My car was in that dictionary it'd be next to that RPU in your Avatar, Sweet looking ride also. I'm already getting the itch to get started on the " next " one.

    Very, very nice work!!!! 'Glass cars do present a different set of challenges for the build process--I'd say you met every challenge head on and did a most excellent job overcoming them!!! Super nice combination of tires, wheels, color, and all the other parts choices...Very, very nice!!!

    Thanks Dave, I know you are very highly regarded here and I appreciate the thumbs up alot, means alot to get a good response from all the replys here. I spent alot of time building this car in my head before I ever went into the garage. I think if you start out with an image of the end result in your head and for the most part stick to it, it goes along pretty good, not that I didn't make any changes on the little details but the car you see in the pics is pretty much what I set out to build. Again a big Thanks to you and everyone who replied!!
