  1. yep, got it now, Thanks Bill for doing this!!!
  2. love em ALL!!!!
  3. looks good im liking the edsel grille shell
  4. looks AWESOME
  5. I like that idea!!! Im also gonna try it out. I think the over fill is a good thing if it sands well as it eliminates most of the filler...my reasoning is.... Im a stainless fabricator by trade, hot rods and custom trucks, bikes etc are my passion..I do a ton of metal finishing at my FT job that doesnt allow any filler as its on stainless, so that has transferred to the car side..and ULTIMATELY the model side...I try to everything with as little filler as possible.
  6. Looks good! as a Comet guy, I always like seeing peoples take on them!
  7. land speed car! motor set back about where the dash is, potvin blower in front of it. Driver set back in the back seat area. tonneau cover, funny car cage etc etc
  8. I may be interested as Ive always hated how most of the Cammers have looked though the years!!!
  9. THAT INTERIOR IS KILLER!!!
  10. I forgot all about that site....now Im gonna lose even more time from my day... Oh, and the coupe is already looking killer EDIT..I dont know why the "BLAH BLAH BLAH" was there..it wasnt when I posted
  11. I have a few, and Im determined to build one eventually. I also have most of a "chopped deuce" version body
  12. looks awesome! I see a possible land speed project in my future haha
  13. Amazing fab skills! As an off road/Mega truck guy, Your suspension, axle and shock work looks right on, as does everything else youve built for this project. Ive seen Fury Road, and while its not "my thing" I did enjoy it and your model Is AMAZING!!!
  14. We know you hung the body over the chassis....now spill haha
  15. Amazing work as usual Tim!!! Here I was excited to section a 53 f100 and have it come out needing no filler haha
  16. killer!
  17. following for sure as I love this build style!!!
  18. thanks Bill!, thats exactly where I was going with my comment but was in a time crunch! The joys of chasing a 1 1/2 year old little girl around the house haha Today, I went to put clothes in the washer and she turned my under construction office wall into an art canvas...literally gone from the room a minute. Anyways... Garry, I went through my Land speed books, My information ends in 1968, My oldest rule book is 2008. I guess the next step would be to search out some of the big gun cars back then, but theyre going to be mainly jet and aircraft engined.
  19. correct that weight is not an issue on the salt, but torque is. light on the pedal is the way to drive, even sub 200. If youve ever driven on packed snow at speed, you know what im describing. You dont steer, the car floats around. Its an amazing experience. Im actually toying around with building a diesel roadster to get back out there and race again. I really do miss it. Im liking the driver up front idea and the narrowing of the body. I would guess that you could shave your tires of the tread and rounded them, they would look ok, OR, find some O rings that fit on your wheels. Remember, minimal contact patch is speed...I havent forgotten about my offer to you on the rule book info. Still working on it
  20. yep, 429 or 460. I hate when they put the breathers on the bottom.. Good way for the oil to get all over the headers and start a fire
