Those lipped holes in the panels really stand out!

What is the rear part of your frame? Looks a little light?

Sam glad you like the holes, they have a funny story, we bought this dimple dye set that i thought was about the nicest one i could find. Turns out this set is supposed to be used in an industrial press and we dont have one of those,
we decided not to send it back and how we use it is funny, we first cut a hole in the panel with a 3 inch hole saw and then we put the dye set together on the metal and smack the dye set with a 3 pound sledge hammer for awhile and well, it works@!
 
Im the truth, i dont have anything to prove and you can ask anybody cause they seen me do it,

Holy cow . . . that is awesome. I love it. Nice job.
Now get some of those professional pictures made so I can use them for wallpaper on my desktop ;)
 
I love it! And the skill you show is outstanding, but with that said I think you are over doing the theme of your rods. the holes in the frame and the 59 chevy dash, bowed out rear tires are very cool, no one has to ask who built it. but with your skill I would love to see you do a mid 50s style hot rod. I think it would really hold peoples interest. I AM NOT RIPPING YOU I RESPECT WHAT YOU DO AND HAVE SHOWN US ON RRR. Just my 2 cents.
 
Maverick,
A killer photo shoot is lined up! You dont wanna miss this one trust me
and thanks!
Sawzall,
i would love to do a mid 50s anything! If i could talk someone into letting me build one for them.
Everyone wants freakin Coupes and sedans
I myself want something with room
Love me 50-59 chevy anythings
and early 50s fords.
and thanks for the compliments
They are getting to be all the same with different colors and dashes i agree! Next lined up is a coupe with rub through job
Sedan with rub through job
and we are still tooling along on an air ride sedan but all either have flat dashes or impala dashes lined up as well, the thing is i hit a look i really love and feel its hard to beat that dash and its hard to beat that frame look and the great thing about reproducing the balls off of the same idea is we get faster and faster and now i dont even have to be in the shop and the other guys could produce the same look and not have to ask a question, I hope to do some 50s cars soon though OH!@ i almost forgot i will get some pics up of Daryl, the other guy that works beside me at the shops 1955 gasser he is building which has a custom sleeved frame and big block!
 
Why would you need to find someone to build a 50s car for when you claim to not be a business or build cars for people? I thought you just built what you liked aand sold.it on eBay? The guys in your shop? I thought you had one buddy that helped you out? Now it seems you have a few guys working for you building frames............. which story is it, I am having a hard time keeping up with all the different ones. Also I have been at the motorama since yesterday morning setting up and no sign of the car. As of now no more cars are allowed in the buiding. So much for your big reveal
 
Hey Cornfield,
My personal truck has been broke down since Wed. It was the only truck i had to tow it to the motorama,
I did go though and talked with you for awhile but you didnt know who i was.
I asked you if i sent you my door panels if you could diamond bead roll them
Daryl was with me when i talked to you he is the other guy that works at my shop,The only other person that works in my shop is Daryls dad who does body work and paint. So i said plural "guys" at my shop but its just me,Daryl, and his dad. I was the guy that told you i didnt need to take one of your cards to send the door panels to you because i just bought one of your hoodies?
I am a business also and just finished my business taxes two nights ago in fact but
i have started taking a few customer cars on lately after Strip Tease and Sloppy Seconds both of those sedans were built to sell and not for customers, The last coupe i built was for a customer and this sedan here was actually our shop car we were keeping but a guy called half way through this build and i sent him photos and he bought it when it was a roller,
and i do build my own frames no one else but Daryl and i currently are building them but if i left and one needed done Daryl and another guy under his supervision could build one and here is a video actually of me building the frame rails of the car your looking at watch it and maybe you will remember talking to me at the motorama

I remember talking to you today and would have asked you about it all in person if you would have introduced yourself, since I didn't know who you were......
 
This was one of the shots done next to a black back ground we played with
i figured it would come out so dark you couldnt see the car so here is a shot of the car from the photo shoot we can release right now
