Thread: Done and painted.

Tweet

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.

very very sweet. you did a fantastic job.

looks like miller time to me.

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.

Miller Time and then some.

"63" He__ your still learning I know I am and I'll be 67 this year Cars are what keeps you young. By the way SWEET ride

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.

Beautiful little roadster sir ........... you did super work on that jewel

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!!!

Nice looking rod,I like the ride height and color.

I started my coupe when I was 67 took a couple of years. It will be my last build.

Very sweet be tough to top that one, maybe something completely different - fenderless lakester maybe.

Stunning! You did a bang up job. I'd be proud to drive this one anywhere and I'm a muscle car guy! Really like the 3 x 2 intake and the "Dutch" style pin striping.

Well Done!
