Bill is a large monkey. He just has small hands

[vintagedragfan]

Hi Anne, as you know by now, this stuff we do here is tedious, but some how we manage to get it done, and sometimes cursing a little helps, at least for me

Yea Bill, the kit 4 speed looked so good laying there, I took the easy way out, sorry it won't happen again Bill

Hey Alyn, at least MY knuckles don't drag the ground

[vintagedragfan]

I got a little progress made on the floor, here is what I have so far

and the under side

not much to look at, but thanks for looking

[MikeyB08]

[Chas SCR]

_{Great work Bill, it has lead me to trying also had at brass work for a project and between you and Mark it just make a person better. Thank you again for all your help.}

[FASTBACK340]

How the #@&$ did you form what appears to be a ONE PIECE floorboard. ?!?!?!?! HOW ?!?! If you have to, please type slowly.... and use pictures.

I just can't wrap my head around this if its one piece.....

[vintagedragfan]

thank you Mike

Mr, Thibodeau, thanks so much for the kind words, really means a lot

hey Alyn, more like socks on a rooster maybe, hanks buddy

thanks Jake

Chuck, hey buddy we have missed you at the meetings! I wish I had one, come in kinda handy right now, thanks man

appreciate it Billy, hope to see you at the Heartland

Tyrone, thanks man

[vintagedragfan]

thanks Jonathan!

hey Chas, It is fun and challenging at the same time, thanks bro

hey John, yea it is 1 piece, I made a template and transferred it to the brass, cut it out and used parallels in the vice for a metal break, and a drill rod to form the hump, still not sure how I'm going to get all of this together, I have to be careful or I will paint myself into a corner, I lost the instruction's, can't seem to find them

[Platerpants]

lost the instructions for the kit? this kits been out so much in different versions mainly the stock version but the instructions should be easy to find online if thats what you mean. This thing is just too awesome who needs instructions when you can go online and find reference photos on every inch of the car. My dad did that for his hemi cuda and a ta challenger that he just randomly stopped working on after getting it 90% done.

[GoatGuy]

"not much to look at" he says.................c'mon, it's beautiful.

[dimebolt]

I got to see the MIGHTY HEMI again today, and the chassis for the first time today! The chassis is every bit as wicked as the motor going in it!!! It's gonna be radical when it's done!!! Trust me on that one. :-)

[FASTBACK340]

Used a vise as a sheet metal press. Makes sense! Beautiful results. I'll have to practice this next. What I'd give to see this build, in any state of assembly, in person. Geeeez....

[slammedi'am]

Sick build!!!!

[zaina]

^thats the understatement if the year

[Scale-Master]

Clean progress Bill. Can't wait to see it in person!
