Frame & Body
20150626_164213_resized.jpg20150626_164249_resized.jpg20150626_164450_resized.jpgFinally made the trip up to N&N and what a pleasant surprise. They had the body sitting on the frame to view. I was under the impression they wouldn't start it till next week. It's not finished but far enough along I could a car coming to life.
I was very impressed with the work and getting to meet Duane and Scott. He's a real hoot,,, spent all the time with me I needed, and answered all my questions and did all this late in the afternoon as I didn't get there until around 4 that afternoon. He made sure I understood what goes into one of his bodies. We looked at the molds, talked about how the bodies are made,, covered a bunch of important details so I could have a better understanding of the whole process. Went over how the car was to be setup and what was left to be done. Man there is a lot of work into getting them to the rolling stage.
There were a few other cars to see that are nearer to completion and one that was completed less paint. The fit, finish and attention to detail was apparent in his work. He's had a lot of practice over the last 20 plus years doing this and it give me a lot of confidence in MY final product)) There is still a lot to be done before I can pick it up,,,, time goes by sooo sllloooowww
I'm so pumped about this whole experience. Can't wait to go back to pick it up.
I didn't know him but followed his posts. True hotrodder, he will be missed. RIP 34_40 MIKE. Condolence to the Mrs. Nolan
