Claude Thibodeau Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hi Bill! Very impressive fabrication, bravo! I'm inspired by the mounting tabs you designed to hold the bodyshell in place. Clever! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 A little update..... the front clip is held on with mini disc magnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hi Bill! Very impressive progress, bravo! That coarse metalflake gunmetal reminds me of a HOK flake... Is-it? Just curious... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Yes it is House of Kolor Galaxy Gray....with purple/ blue shift flake mixed with the first coats of clear. The orange is House of Kolor too. Ultra orange pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi Bill! Thanks for the answer. HOK's are top products. I was familiar with the Galaxy Gray... but the bluish sparkles puzzled me. Now I know... Very nice! Happy holidays to you! CT PS: Where is Union Springs in NY? Hudson Valley, I guess?

misterNNL Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very inspirational build of a bad to the bone bowtie ground pounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi Bill, what an awesome build! I love low, I love tubs, and one of my all time favourite cars is a ‘62 Impala. What a perfect combination. Very nicely done. Cheers, and Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Kustomz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Awesome work, i like the idea on where to put the magnets, you can't see them there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Update.... waiting on my decals.... mail is super slow.... but got the doors hinged and are removable..... everything fits good. And lines up.... super happy with how it’s turning out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi! Very sharp, can't wait to see it with the decal work done. Will-you be using the kit's front & rear windows? How do you plan to set-them in place, in the case of the windshield more precisely? Just curious... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yes I will be using the kit glass... the windshield fits perfectly and will not interfere with opening the doors. I’ll be using clear glue to hold them in place. I will make the door windows out of clear plastic sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi Bill! I saw that the dogleg door post is part of the door now, and the whole body can be removed at once, so I was curious. Good idea. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Kustomz Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Amazing work Bill, can't wait to see more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I like the fact that this project is being built without a visual overload of chromed everything bling. The use of dark metalizer on the induction system is a great choice. Great thread to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi Bill! Great. When you say "decals", are those actual decals, or painting masks that you used to lay the flames? If decals, the match with the interior color is great" Bravo! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Wow. Dynamite work. Can't wait to see her chromed and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
