  1. This VW is not the first shorty I have built. Here is a shorty 53 Vette that a built months ago using the same chassis.
  2. Thanks guys. If I used better judgement when I began I would have done a couple things differently. I hate to go back now and try to fix it now. I think I will live with it and see what it looks like when done.
  3. I bought the same kit at a hobby shop a couple weeks ago and it was not sealed.
  4. Great work ! I have enough trouble with a out of the box build.
  5. Congrats ! Car looks great !
  6. Nice job, I like it !
  7. OK. I moved the cab forward as much as I could and I lowered it all around. I think it helped some ??????
  8. I see what your saying and I think it would look better I just hate to go back to cutting and then the putty and sanding again. I think I will try and get it lower. That may help the overall look.
  9. Looks great ! Keep the photos coming please.
  10. I looked at again and I do think the proportions could be improved. Just not sure I want to go back and redo things at this point.
  11. 1962 Ford. 292 auto. Bought it from parents for 50 bucks. That was a very good car. Mom had it 3 years, pops then for 2 then me for 2. That car never gave me a problem.
  12. I think your both right and I may look into doing some modifications, maybe not. : )
  13. Did some cutting on the body and did a mock up.
  14. Pretty cool.
  15. Shot through a window I would guess.
  16. They all look great ! The man sure knows how to paint.
  17. Nice work.
  18. In my Maxwell Smart voice....... would you believe a yard ?
  19. Now that is some good news !
  20. A fine job Al.
  21. Used to be that the truckers were the "White Knights" of the road. I'm not saying that they don't still exist but there does seem to be a growing pool of "cowboys" on the road. Just going by what I see when I drive around.
  22. Making slow progress on this thing. I cut down the floor pan to fit the new short body. The engine is partially done. Ordered a pre wired distributor but still has not arrived. The front suspension is pretty much done. Thinking of replacing the bench seat with some buckets. May even add a center console , not sure.
  23. Lookin' good.
