John Teresi Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Mr. Laski.......VERY VERY impressive......your scratch work is AWESOME buddy.......gonna be a work of "ART".
GoatGuy Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Love this build Art. Your work is exceptional. Using real springs like that make a big differnce. I'll have to look for some.
Mooneyzs Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Art... great work on this bud. It is looking killer. really like what you did with the manifold and injectors. Nice job and glad to see more progress done on this build.
Art Laski Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for the kind comments, guys. More to come this week!

Randy D Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Hi Art, This is looking great!!! Those shocks look terrific as does the whole rear end :) Randy
Art Laski Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 I'm not sure what I got myself into now, but I decided to open the doors and the trunk up. It's going to be a lot more work, but will probably be worth it in the end. The only thing is, I've never done hinges before, so it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to go about it. At first tried an internal hinge, but there's no room behind the firewall on this car, so I pretty much just emulated the stock Willy's location.
John Teresi Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Art........VERY VERY NICE!!!!!!..........you got it!!!!!
Art Laski Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks, John! It's coming along slowly but surely. I want to get some color on this thing so bad!
vintagedragfan Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 looks like you handled that just great Art! everything looks fabulous !!
Art Laski Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 I have a question regarding this project that I am hoping a hemi expert might be able to help me out with. This kit comes with a dual oil filter external mount, but I have no idea where to route the oil lines. If it was a Chevy, it wouldn't be a question, as my dad was a racing engine builder when I was growing up. The only thing is, all he built were small and big block Chevys. But I do not see a filter location like what I would see on a Chevy block. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!!
dragcarz Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Just started following this build, looks great so far, love the scratch building. I'm learning so much,and even started trying some myself.......Just a thought here, did you think of asking Stephanie Rose how she would like it to look? Growing up in a house full of women and now married with two daughters, the one thing I've learned is they have very definate ideas of what they want and like.
geemoney Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 dude, the rear clip is fantastic! great work! inspiring!

Corey Hope this helps Art.
johnbuzzed Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Art, is this an old 392 type Hemi or the newer 426 Hemi? The oiling systems might be different. I noticed you had a distributor location on the back of your manifold; to me, that indicates a 392 type Hemi but the oil system pictures look to be from a 426 Hemi- but I could be wrong. You might want to do a little research to be sure.

You make a very good point... but, let's face it, I'm building this for me! I "hope" she likes it! Edited November 13, 2012 by Art Laski
