That is really really sharp looking ,I cant put my finger on it ,but it has "THAT" look....Good job!!!!

Like the wheels, had a set similar on the 68 mustang, but I love the paint job, might be the best flame color combo, setup and coverage I've ever seen! The flames on the roof really make it stand out and say...WOW!

At first I wasn't going to post a pic of the clevis for the B-R-A-K-E pedal. But..... I'm workin' on a billboard for a spa today and ....well......I just couldn't resist the irony. HEHEHEHE

Got the brake pedal ready to go in. Rule book says it has to be covered with a non-slip surface so I cut the center out .018" and inserted a pc. of mud flap from Big "R" Goota' to go.

Gary, you knock me out with your imagination. Outstanding work.

Well, got started on the front fenders for Tom's Coupe, they were a mess!!! Lots of wounds over the years and the driver's side front had a twist in it that necessitated cutting the seam apart, untwisting, dingin' and shrinking a bunch, then welding it back together. I built a fixture to hold the fenders so that I can see which one and how much "moving" they need to look symmetrical on the car....

Just as I started making good progress on them, my compressor took a dump...But that's another thread.... Anyway, hope to be back in the groove and finishing up all four fenders next week... Here's a couple pics for you Tom!!!!! (Betcha you thought I'd died ur sumpin')

Hey Pro, the shot with the toes and the pedal is way kewl!!!!! Great work on the clevis, gonna be trick stuff everywhere!!!!! Wanna buy my trailer? It's going to be waaaaay too nice to take out on the street and let some schmuck T-bone it while he's got the cell phone in one hand and barley pop in the other!!!!!!

Thanks Richard. I'm having a ball making this stuff.

Got those fenders comin' around purdy good Dave. You'll have 'em lookin' good as new, I have no doubt.
I might have to consider the trailer deal .

Bearing hub.

Got it installed. IT WORKS. Welded just enough to keep it in place. I'll finish the weldin' when it's back on the rotisserie. I'm gettin' too old for that out of position stuff.

* Finish the steering next.

Looks great Pro!!!! Sure does get me anxious to get all the current stuff done and get back on the Ranchero---and hopefully another complete that is pending......

"a pending complete"?
Sounds way too politically correct for me Dave.

This has nothing to do with you Dave, I just think everybody should see it.

"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"
A doctrine fostered by a dilusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

My name and politically correct used in the same sentence!!!!!! Now that's a first!!!!

A complete pending means the dude wants to build a drag car, but he ain't quite figured out a way to slide the $$$$ to me without his old lady finding out!!!!!!!

Spent the day with my crew today.

Use a Sharpie to flame his noggin Gary, his mom will love it

:lol: :lol:

Pushed the "Z" outside to clean the shop today. BUT, this time I didn't have to kick the front tires to keep it str8. I used the STEERING WHEEL. WooHoo.


BTW: I had a weak moment today. There is some spy footage in the link below. Make sure you turn up the volume before you click on the link. This doesn't happen often in the "Z" shop, so don't miss it.
