... I like how the back window is now the same height as the side windows... That is the way I did my '41 Chubby, with the "fullsize" rear window, and yes, they do come out to almost the same proportions as the side windows. Geezerman, yer doin' this one up just fine, my friend! I still gotta dig out my '41 and "fix" what I did to it before this forum started. I was gonna do it as one of them billet-barge type things, but lost my nerve and left it in the box unfinished, cause I couldn't bring myself to show it in the light of day! Now, I got a reason to fix it and do it "Right"-eous! Keep inspiring, my brother!

Decided to try to make my own chopped see thru grill. I more than once thought this was a no win effort and if I got one at all, it would be crappy. I was kinda right it's close to being unusable, but since this is a backyard build, I'm going to use it anyway. :u)

so Geezer, I am seing this thing as an ultra low down in the dirt, ratty and rusty type of build am i right.....? and can we have a teaser or two of what kinda wheels ya gonna run and what kinda mill Im down right curious, this thing looks bad ass thus far and im trying to get a mental pic of what the finish product is gona bring Yeah, you right on Outlaw. I have a mockup photo to send on to Bob for my Fotki album, as soon as I get his most recent e-mail addy. I found some spinner moons in the junk yard and a yellow engine of an unknown make. I found a set of finned valve covers. I also found a dual 2bbl manifold, but it will have to be worked a little to fit into the valley. So, power will be a mongrel engine. It pays to have an extensive salvage yard at yer disposal. ;o)

here's the mockup. Thing grew a litttle long by putting a suicide front end ahead of the grille. I'm kool with it! Long, Low, and Lethal.

Got some odds and ends done this weekend. Spring perch, brake fittings on the drums, radiator fitted and the spinner moons shaved thin to fit in the tires. headlights are from the OBS truck with 32 bumper brackets for the posts. Gonna run a Moon gas tank above the spring perch.

This is getting close. I really don't like the rear end treatment, but it's too late now. I ain't teaing it apart. The stock steelies look too WIMPY to pushing this ride. I was going to letter "OUTLAW' on the door with some graphics, but SA has named his willys that, So, I have come up with a different take on the word and named it (tongue in cheek sort of) after my favorite gangster. Are we going to unveil the finished models at the 'gathering', or just publish them as their finished ??

How about this? If you're only gonna finish one for the "gathering" save it, but if you're gonna finish multiples, save one for the "gathering" but cruise them all? Sound good?
