WOW... you got skills if you're going to build this! Very cool!

Being a Roth Freak myself i really like your ideas.Who are you getting to do the Bubble.Are those 60 ford galaxy tail lighs?

 

[donsrods]

I love those kinds of cars. Have you seen the Atomic Punk that Aaron built? If not, go to the HAMB and put in Atomic Punk. It is gorgeous.

thanks guys Im in automotive development & have just finshed building a 2008 Holden Hurst (Aussy car) so the development of this project is going to be the same make things change things the tail lights are Aussy ford falcon & as for the bubble im in the process with a glass company at the moment as in New Zealand we have to run a safty glass now back to the front end I have had a couple of ideas one that im keen on is using a vw front beam (one only) as Roth did with road agent coming out to a ford beam & coil shocks it needs to be something different

I applaud your ambition, that's one fine looking car. I had no help or even an idea of what I was doing when I began my bucket. I just grabbed a bigger hammer when I ran into a problem but I don't think I could ever get up the nerve to tackle something like you're thinking of doing, I wish you luck.

[Todd]
