Saw this on the HAMB.  Excellent craftsmanship.  Worth checking out!

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Looking at the pictures I can now understand how someone could go to an art exhibit and stare at pictures on a wall.  The fabrication on the car is art by itself.

BTW:  He used a roof from a 54 Chevy as a filler.....same roof panel I used on my 33 Chevy chop.

Some interesting work especially the floor panels and the firewall, that's artwork.

Laid back windshield posts , not my cup of tea.   Removing all the wood and metaling it, not really a fan of that idea either.  If you have every heard a 33--35 chev coupe doors close and then listen to a 32-33-34 ford close you will know what I am talking about the ford tin can sound.  Removing the wood only accentuates that sound.

Surprised the builder has not removed the door hinges and turned the doors ala ford into suicide style.

doesn't get my vote---------------mike

You may not like the style or technique and as is often said, those things are a matter of personal preference.There is no denying the exceptional skill and craftsmanship reflected in the build and I'm sure there will be some provisions made to prevent it for sounding like a "Tin Can". New cars have no wood and most of them sound like your closing the door of a vault.... It does get my vote.

Even bad metal work is tough for me. Something like that is beyond my dreams. :)
