  2. insanely cool !!
  3. hhmm great job on the tunnel and shifter , looking great !
  4. nice , i like the second saet of wheels and the hood looks great !
  5. awsome progress !!!!!!!
  6. whow thats stunning !!
  7. whow that one custom build !! hmmm very very cool this is kind of what i want to do some day but dont work with a example just take old left overs and build a cool car def a challenge for you when so little is known of your example .. will stay tuned here
  8. went on with the engine yesterday evening .. made a blower using parts from my partsboxes , looked online for some rough examples of superchargerd flatheads its ment to be a small supercharger like i have seen more on the flathead .. now i found several pics of the poelies and belts .. i already made 2 rods with a large belt on 2 pielies with i tightening poelie .. i found some pics where the set up was a bit like what i did now (below).. 100% accurate ? maybe not but it looks a lot like some of the exampes i saw if somebody thinks noooo thats .. just say so then i filed and sanded a square opening on top of the charger and worked in a carb ..
  9. haha thnx , well i usually use small metal files , really works nice , the dremel is dangerous haha before you know it you cut more then you want
  10. whow great job with the wheels , especially the rear ones those look so much the same , awsome look btw !!!
  11. well removed my custom trannymount / bracket , that was the issue , took a bit of fideling but now i could use my fancy dremel , never used it for modelbuilding , its great the revs can be set from dead slow to superfast now the engine is sitting lower and thats just way better , also better proportioned now i cut up a old blower house and made a smaller version of that i maybe going to use that as a base for a oldskool blower set up with carbs and stacks , need to look for a example i know a few cool versions , just got to deside whats best overall , so much better proportioned , cant believe i did not realise sooner the engine was sitting too high.. well could have known but when setting the ride hight i wanted to make sure i had enough ground clearance .. a bit to much afterall haha
  12. i read this back and this came across different then i ment , i ment like if the saurcerwould stunn me with a stunn beam ....
  13. thnx thnx and yes do so i'm curious on that yesterday evening i decided to chop the grille and radiator , needed it to dryfit the engine and deside on pullys and drivebelt , and fan work.. the material was so thin i desided only to use the radiator itself and the top of teh grilleshell.. just made the rest myself very rough first draft , need to clean it up , add stuff and make a insde (radiator) seen from the front with the engine , now it so tight space wise .. i managed to get some pully's with a belt on and a fan and i got it to fit .. but its close .. thats due to the steering rod , that needed to go on top because of the way i build the front and the ride hight , but the grille / radiator should go a tiny bit forward .. i think i will try to make the firewall a bit more open so the engine can slide just a tad back also i will make the fan fall inside of teh radiatorshell .. ps.. i could use / make a electric fan but tbh i would rather use a old fashion fan on the engine , i want it to stay more period looking ..
  14. awsome seats , really digging this build , going to be a jewel !!
  15. thnx and well my normal speed ..hmm its usually hyper haha .. no when i build i ususally get a lot done so a few short sessions ... and last week i was tired and took the saturday and sunday to do stuff on this project .. didnt feel like doing anything else in the wintertime i build every night like 1-2 hours , then you really get a lot done .. now i'm still not in the mood to build in the weekday evenings thnx mark
  16. nice !
  17. nice job and details !!
  18. thnx and no problem
  19. very cool !! btw did you use like that white medical tape on your seats ?? and then painted it ? asking because i did that ounse and it looks so similair
  20. whow ....stunned here and its not by the saurcer that house and pavement and grass .. awsome stuff
  21. cut a heart shape out in the door lol nice job i like it
  22. loving it
  23. ooh yes please !! one of my favorite vans , had the idea for a project like this myself .. style wise that i not a exect replica of that one but mann this is cool !!
  24. funny i just was looking at volksrod's yesterday on the internet and searching for pics .. its very very hard to get a good proportioned volksrod and your is great.. i have seen so many faillures i like yours a lot !! would be awsome to chop the roof just a bit .. not to extreme but a bit but i can understand its a very big thing , not easy and ...cost a lot do do right.. that said the high roof does have its charme any more idea's for the car in the future ?? btw can i be dead hounest ? i hate the mirror .. nothing to do with the cross and i know that has so much different meanings and not thinking ... (just so we dont go there discussion wise because i know) its just over here in europe its like a chewed out theme .. so many stuff for sale like iron cross or chopper cross .. its become a bit like i build something and buy a cross theme item and bolt it on so for me ... i would love to see like a simple round mirror on it , maybe even hanging from the top down simple round one but this was just my thought haha , if you love it go for it nothing wrong in different tastes right
