when from this to this trying to get to this im also in the proces of gathering parts, all that i need is a set of headers and hopefully by the end of the week ill have a deal worked out for the firewall havent made a whole lot pf progress past the chop, i started assembling the engine and i found a set of tires that fit the wheel (kit tires werewider in the back then the front) all in all i have made a start but im in no hurry seeing as how we have a year to complete this

that happened to me once or twice...today thanks for taking the effort i cant wait to see it got anything in mind youd want in return ? i happen to have a primo johan cuda shell with only the front end missing let me know

that is a nice engine you got there not sure if i like it in blue though blue looks to slow for that mill

i do get a model next year seeing as how i will be an legacy then right

keep replacing ford junk with mopar parts at the rate your going and you just might end up with a decent ride

that sure is a nice looking hurt you got there i really like the moderate amount of making it look old and dirty

you dont have a few extra wheelie bars laying around do you ? that would work for wheels

i hope you changed over to winter rims and snowtires for those last pics

nope its open to anyone did you send a PM or email to fletch ? he is overseeing this shindig if i counted correctly there are 2 open spots left so get on it

something along the lines of "get of that internet and feed me cletus" maybe ?

been there done that mather of fact, just yesterday i had to do that with a clearcoat i was doing, luckily the second coat flowed nice enough to cover it heres my kitty

keep in mind that mosts paints darken per coat so maybe 2 coats will be perfect for the hemi orange but 4 will be to dark just something to consider

one thing that will be a great help is starting a work in progress thread in our "on the workbench" section that way we can follow along and awnser any questions or make suggestions as you go along remember, a picture is worth a thousand words

that is a awesome looking model could definatly pass for real id like to hear more about this cobweb painting...how do you do it ?

its a great build but you might wanna reconsider the name no redneck would ever stoop so low as to install airbags (get it...low) you know its a great build if the name is all i can complain about

cool im in no big hurry but let me know what you find im going to have to scratch build it if i cant come up with one

it sounds like a great build i would imagine you want to keep the bodies on thier frames and just swap the suspensions and drivetrain out shouldnt be to bad to do

you'll be fine, just make sure you race on gravel by the time he hooks up you'll be miles away as for cool mudstank vids online, look for the one with the WW2 tank engine

hey guys im just about ready to start chopping away on the firewall of my 32 ford unless anyone has a 34 ford firewall laying around they can spare

it will be the first ever cobra with an actual bite to it

what are you trying to achieve with the sanding ? i personally dont sand in between coats i sand the primers and i wetsand/polish the clear but never the colour coats i would imagine the same idea applies as with primer or clear coat, what are you trying to achieve ? if you are trying to even out a surface and get rid of imperfections start with as rough as a 200 and worh your way up to a nice sheen if all you are doing is cleaning it up for a second coat i would imagine 1200 would be plenty

you guys both have way too many i myself only have about a dozen feel free to ship me a few hundred each to even the ballance welcome aboard bob you'll find that we are one big happy family here (we do have the one or two second cousins we cant seem to get rid off but all in all were just ducky) so lets see some of your builds

it will be nice to see a real engine in one of those car would make an awesome sleeper

i bought my first decal paper from the LHS for a fair amount after i had decent (though not yet perfect but you cant expect perfect the first try) results i went on ebay and bought some more paper on there there are several companies offering decal paper and i went with the one who had the clearest descriptions on thier page (ill share the name in a PM if you want, but i dont want to advertise) i havent had a chance to try it out yet but as everyone says, it is pretty simple

most car forums are like that the worst one i ever belonged to was neco (new cougars) it was like a day in the life of a proctoligist, nothing but buttholes
