I am really glad that ypu are happy with how the seat turned out. Looks like it fits like a glove. I am looking forward to seeing more on this build.

Codi Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very sharp my friend. I like the way the cage soldered up around the seat too. Always fun to see you back at the table too! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrozilla Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 At first, I was thinking you may have been abducted by space aliens from another dimension. That's when it hit me.With skills like that, you must be an alien. Your government could sure use your help reverse engineering some UFO's they've been stockpiling.........

Codi Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Ahhh, waiting on parts. So Dave walks into the shop and says hmmmm, what should I do today and knocks out some sweet little parts. Most certainly agree that it's a treat to see her on all 4 now. I know we'll see even more over the fall/winter months. Cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Dave are you sure those wheels are not the real ones from your '37 Chevy? Seriously, those look fantastic! Those are definitely one of the most realistic wheels I've ever seen. You are a true master... Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
