Members Rohn Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 Wow!!! That looks great. How long did it do you to do that trunk? Quote
Members Ta2ooz Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 That's really cool, did you do the interior yourself as well? Quote
Members snubbyfan Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 Shoot, I'd like to see more of that sweet rod. Is that a Duvall windshield? Quote
Members staleg Posted March 6, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Thank you for your kind words! The car is home made, included the Duvall wind shield and the interior. Seats are from an Italian sport car, Steering wheel, gear stick, pedals, dashboard, innder door handles and -trim is also home made. Started on it in 2002. Got it road legal in 2013. Chevy 350 V8, 6 speed manual trans, Independent front suspension, Jaguar independent rear with 4,09:1 ratio. The luggage wasn't that hard to make. First I made a box from some plywood that I had. Then I clearcoated it inside and out, to make it more weatherproof. Rubbed the clearcoat carfully before I glued on the bycast leather. The belts are cowboy belt blanks bought on Ebay that I painted.

Members staleg Posted March 10, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Thank you....! I have never done anything like this before. During the build I have been patient, used lots of time, done lots of reading and searching before I started on each new step. Learned a lot along the way. I guess that's just how a nice hobby should be. And when you're patient, you can achieve more with less money, as well. Edited March 10, 2015 by staleg Quote
