MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Build looks really good Big J, keep up the good work and posts. I'm learning a lot =)

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Awesome build.

I got the same valve covers. they look sweet.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Update...

I can not find the time to finish the bodywork so I'm in the process of finding a shop that I trust to finish it. I could wait till things slow down but I WANNA BE DRIVING IT THIS SUMMER:metal:

I am makin a set of steps out of 2x3 and 2x4 steel tube. Pics to come when I make some progress.....:waah:

:5150:

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Good to hear Big J!! Looking forward to seeing it done!!

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

attaway J, what ever it takes...anazing how these projects get closer to finish and take longer to complete:lol:

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Wow, just read the entire thread. Kudos to you for sticking with it this long. Hope the shop you end up with treats you right!

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Mee too:metal:

Yep and we both know theres still a boat load to do after the paint. Still gonna have it on the road this spring, hopefully.:lol:

Got a couple in mind. Shouldn't be too big a deal, just needs a couple little dings fixed, wet sanded and shot.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Hauled it to the wonderful place where the paint work will be completed last night! I'm stoked!:metal: Shouldn't be too long and I will have it back in my shop for final assembly. It will need more than a couple dings fixed, lol. There are ripples, waves, and what not, lol. Looks great in the pics but when in the light...... So its going to be done right.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Very cool to see progress J!!

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Looks good already but going to look even better!!!!

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

The plan is to use single stage as a base then a few coats of clear to make the paint look a foot deep.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Progress! Three steps forward and 4 steps back, lol. Seems like a waste to sand away all that I've done but oh well, it'll look sick when its complete.:5150:

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

all i have to say is wow awesome build

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Looks good J, would love to see it when finished. I've heard that single stage with several coats of clear looks pretty good.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
 

Dude...I check back almost 4 months later and your still sanding!!! LMAO!!

Sooo kidding, looking awesome J. :metal:

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
