snubbyfan Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Shoot, I'd like to see more of that sweet rod. Is that a Duvall windshield? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staleg Report post 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.

staleg Report post 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.
