Looks great George! I really like what you have done.

Looking good George.

Looks good.........

I love that car George....I was wondering how you were making out with the project.....It looks great and thanks for the update.....:beers:

Cars in primer just look..."right"!:thumbsup:

Looks fantastic George! Ive always followed all the progress on your hot rod. You've got some serious talent. Have you decided on a color yet?

that looks darn good! looks like youve done some nice work. its my favorite color too.

bee-you-tee-full!! i like that clean minimalist garage as well!

I love the look of the car, LOW AND MEAN!

getting closer George! :)

Thanks guys the car will be green tea met. like on engine!
Car has been a blast to build all the lil custom touches that one would not normally notice ive done to the car, like flipped the bumpers moved them closer to the body also sectioned the bumper and moved the corners in a lil tighter also smoothed up the under side of the hood!

A lil more fab work but over all the body is all cut in, taking a lil break for a week or two been on it pretty hard for about four months really need the time to sit back an appreciate the progress but next week or so ill be back at it full throttle waiting on my heads to button engine should make some sick power.
I'll be sure to keep you updated later George

George, what brand of wheels are those? They look awesome!The whole car as a matter of fact!Good job.

Thanks there Holeshots they make an amazing wheel i had them built for this car they do one off sizes etc. great guys to deal with i have about a grand in two wheels front and rear. but i really wanted a unique look to the car and i have a "V" theme through out the car in places and these wheels have that feel to them.

Weight the rears are 15x15's there 14 pounds and the fronts 15x4 are 8.5 pounds

any pics or info on the hood and fender mods?

thanks,
kevin

Thanks for the reply!
The hood was welded to the front fenders and i opened the hood up at the body line pancake style for a cleaner look. the whole front clip is tilted forward aswell as the top of the hood it opens to the side!
I had to fab all new inner fender braces and adjusters, aswell i smoothed the bottom of the hood and inner fender wells.
Heres some recent shots of the car engines in for fire up and last mock up!
love to answer any other ?'s later George

The car is looking great.
Kim

Very nice. If it were mine I'd be very inclined to finish it in a satin black. This would make your car even more wicked than it already is!

Wow, that looks incredible!

Car is sweet, going to be killer when its finished. Makes me want to pick up a hot rod before I finish my Chevelle.

nice work! im wondering if you have any more pictures and/or info on the fabrication of the hood

nice work! im wondering if you have any more pictures and/or info on the fabrication of the hood
