Thread: Done and painted.

Hey she is only six so enjoy her younger years before she asks for the keys so she can meet that cute boy from school she fancies. LOL. We have a number of young ladies over here right into building and driving old cars due to helping either their dads or granddads out in the garage while they worked on their own cars so good one as she just may be one of the next generation of rodders.

Hey whiplash, she helped me paint the wheels and is great cleaning the shop, she gets that from grandma. She went for her first ride yesterday and I don't know who was happier her or me. All three of my grandaughters are our life.

Great job, I know how difficult glass cars can be and it came out good, well done

Your 8th Rod is a picture of perfection. I suspect that after a short period of time you will get the itch again and start looking for a new project. Do you have any pics of your earlier builds? 63 is young; I will be 69 in Dec. and when I finish (they are never quite finished are they?) the re-do on the 34 I would like to find a late 40s to early 50s Pontiac to build.

Jack.

Sorry for the delay Jack F, I've got some pics of my 37 P.U. my 40 P.U. my 41 coupe and my 47 coupe but don't have a clue on how to get them posted here, maybe my son can scan them in and I'll try to get em posted. I've already got the itch, looked at a 36 Chevy coupe Sunday, basket case but everything is there and solid, there are just alot of baskets!!!! That would give me more room. Good luck on the 34 re-do.

Thanks, I tried to make it not look like a glass car, if that makes any sense, I think alot of glass cars are hi-boys and I really like a nice hi-boy but I just wanted a full fendered, sittin right, no frills " hot rod ". I'm real happy with the end result and thanks again.

That is one classy ride. Beautiful job!

Beautiful!!!

Obviously not your first rodeo! Hope you get to enjoy it now with your family

Thanks bluestang, My biggest concern waqs that alot of several people told me that glass cars don't rattle, they creak, and I don't have any creaks at all, really nice and tight, firm ride but not rough. I spent ALOT of time building the steel inner structure and used a fair amount of sound insulation. I guess I'm pleasantly suprised at how nice and quiet and tight it drives. Fun build, thanks again!
