Thanks, my own design on the grill. I was gonna go big I tell ya, manufacturing/sales/etc.
:grin:
Actually I was, I had a good sale dialog open with cabelas cooking and cutlery purchasing dept.
I chose the route of the day job working for somebody elses company. :grin:
Maybe someday if I grow a pair or once I have the kids growed up so I don't have so much to risk financially.
How's that black bird?
I can see why Dave...That is a great design! I'd buy one! Heck of a lot better than some of the garbage they're selling in the stores these days. Till you release those to the world, I guess i'll be sticking with the ol' Weber.
that is a fine looking car! you should be proud of the work you have done you saved that car. not many would have gone that far, good work
:icon_thumright: Thanks a bunch buddy!
I just found your thred Prop. This is most absolutley outragesouly awesome project and detail i have ever ever seen. I have been reading it for 3 days now after work and im on page 38, not going to cheat and look at the finished product yet i just jumped to the last page to comment only. I am at stages on my 69 now that you have posted, trunk and cowl, front end ect... I needed a little inspiration because i was feeling down and overwhelmed on mine. This is a HUGE inspiration and now im motivated again. Wow im pumped and hope i can do half the job that ive seen you do so far. Thanks for all the good work and detailed pics. Much appreciated. Just noticed you also have 68 Coronet and 69 rr. We have great taste i have a 68 Bee tribute and making my 69rr tribute and also a 70rr tribute.
Glad the bird could toss some wind in your sails 68bee. Keep pegging away man! One day at a time....You'll get there!! When she starts to weigh heavy, shut the garage door and crack open a cold one. Tackle her again the next day.. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for taking the time to read through the Plymouth novel..LOL. I'm happy to see it's motivating other folks to bring these wonderful cars back. Quite the collection of cars you have. It's pretty funny we have twin, twin cars. Looks like i'm gonna have to find a 70RR to catch up..LOL.
Best wishes moving forward on your '69. Keep up the hard work and i'm sure someday soon we'll be gazing upon your freshly resurrected Roadrunner.
As far as the Blackbird Dave........little bit of progress
Dash is in!! Not the most fun job to do, being it is cumbersome (like trying to stuff a fridge in the dryer cumbersome). My advice would be is to get the top lip resting and start the 5 bolts running across. Then install the two side mounting bolts, move on to tighten the top 5 bolts.
Emblems are on...Whewwww! Glad the little paper template I made from the rotton old doors worked well. Hood inserts are in..
Thought this was kind of a neat pic......So, to the guys doing your own blocking/sanding, just when it feels the bones in your hands are about to break and someone drove a railroad spike in your elbows...Keep sanding!! and then sand some more..
It pays off:
