When are we going to see pics of the hood?

[superflysteiny]

I will be doing the hood in the next 2 weeks

What size tire are you running in the rear? 24's correct? What all did you have to do to clear them on the stepside fenders?

[Mad Rods]

I saw Brendon on American Chopper last night, he's going to take their bikes to another level. Dood really knows his way around sheet metal.

[superflysteiny]

Is he not the man or what. What I really love about the guy is he is so modest. I would put his sheet metal skills up againt anyone. I was bsing with him on saterday. Paul asked him to move to NY. He told Paul no can do. If anyone on here needs any sheet metal work done let me know. Brendon is going back out to NY to start his third bike on the 11th of October. Cant wait to see the episode this week. You notice how blown away Vinny was on how smooth the metal was. Brendon told me I need to reconstruct his front teeth. I told him to get his butt to my office before the 11th so we could fix all his front teeth and give him that superstar smile, he laughed.

that's awesome, I really love the inner fenders he did for you. I think I could build them but definately will keep Brenden in mind. No knock against that lee guy but it looked like the kalimizoo baseball team made that tank compared to the yankees building the one Brenden did.

[superflysteiny]

you can say that again. you should have no problem building those inners. There not that tough to build. I am in the middle of welding up the hood. I will have to get you some pics. just started today on it. Hope to have the hood welded up this week. I am pulling the motor tomorrow.

[greystoke]

really looking forward to seeing the hood and the rest of your truck.

[superflysteiny]

Thanks sstarted the hood this weekend. I have the front welded and i am moving to the fenders. Should be cool as heck. Cant wait. I am going to pull the engine out tonight.

Eric, This is a great build. Your work is awsome. I really enjoy the updates on your progress.
I went to the Street Rod Nationals in Tampa Florida on saturday and I saw your old 64 burb. The workmanship on that burb is top notch all the way. Fit and finish, everything is so nice, so straight it's just awsome. I didn't meet the new owner, but from the looks of things he's enjoying it to the max. Here's the pics I took. I had to snap fast cause there was always people around checkin it out.

[superflysteiny]

Very cool I am glad you liked it. Nice to see someone is enjoying it. Cant beleive it went from california all the way to florida

[superflysteiny]

So, how can i get in touch with Brendon? Use to deal with Fat Katz but now needing some help on a build i've got going on....thanks!

[superflysteiny]
