One time I started messing around with some aluminum sheet, and I ended up with something that somewhat resembled an early ford roadster. Does that count?
I agree that it can be difficult to give constructive criticism without sounding rude, but if the person asked for comments they should be ready and willing to listen to the feedback they receive. there are a few people who live to bring people down, but that is usually not the case and most of the time the person that comes across as rude is just trying to help. I will continue to post "All comments welcome" at the bottom of all my build threads because I'm always willing to learn and take advice from all the great builders here. Billy
If this project got sent back then all the time and work invested by the builders who did exactly what they were supposed to would be for nothing. I find that to be really unfair to them and also to those of us who are willing to contribute to this project.
I decided long ago that I would much rather be doing something I enjoy than reading that somebody is getting ready for work or eating supper or whatever they think the whole world cares about.
I usually open it in the parking lot and make sure it is all there and nothing is broken. And then I always end up painting the body within the next week or so (unless its a highly modified project) and finally, I put it together a few months later
Basically, you push the rails up inside the body instead of the body sitting on top of them and this allows the body to be low to the ground without lowering the frame also. http://farm1.staticflickr.com/138/324200114_77be560313_z.jpg
