Re: Bugs rule!

Any progress pics of the '57 V-6 project?
I couldn't just let this thread fade away, some awesome fab work there!

Re: Bugs rule!

Yeah, I didn't get anywhere near my goal this year but I made some progress. I'll try to get updated pics up next week. ;D

Needed a new heater channel installed...$60 dollar item, stuffs cheap for bugs. Gonna have it flipped and put back on the frame this weekend and gonna start on the radiator support.

I need a ragtop clip. I finally convinced my Mom to hand over her bug that she's owned since I was 10... the only downsides to the car are the utter lack of power (fairly fresh 1600 single port), and the disturbing lack of a giant hole in the roof.

Re: Bugs rule!

Wow, I missed this thread too. Great buildup with the V6. How about a turbo Buick instead? Or maybe an SHO engine. ;D


cheers

Re: Bugs rule!

Thanks for the update photos. I was just checking out the post on your COE project, another awesome piece of automotive creativity! However,I am going to have to repeat David?s question from the COE post, where do you find the time? On second thought I don't want to know. The answer might make me throw my hands up in disgust and take up basket weaving. Only kidding my friend, the fine examples of craftsmanship you and the other board members turn out only gives me proof that if I hang in there and keep turning the wrenches I'll reach my goal some day. Thanks again for taking the time to share your projects with us.

Re: Bugs rule!

Are those repop fenders? How's the fit/thickness of them?

[STINEY]

Re: Bugs rule!

Ouch! Is that a new battle wound, or was that already there?

Compound curve dent with a stiffening bead rolled in it to boot. Will you document the dent removal process for us? That would be a good little project everyone could learn from.....

Killer bug.
