72

 

[Ron Kirkpatrick]

This car is acid dipped in 72 the floors were steel so I’m making them out of acid dipped thickness metal. This car has the wheel base moved forward ,, the quarters are shortened so stock panels will not work inside. These pieces are sitting in place for test fit. Not welded in yet so not leveled

looking good. just curious, I was thinking this race car had been updated to 73 and up somewhere along the line and you. Will the 72 fenders / fenderwell openings be restored to mimic the original? Maybe they are already(??)

Wow!!......gifted craftsman.

I also make the super stock hood scoops in steel or aluminum and do aluminum fenders hoods deck lids and doors. But they are not cheap

 

[Dartnut]

Beautiful.
I applaud your craftsmanship and the fact that another one of the historic cars is being saved and built back.
What year was the car originally?
Was it a body in white?

Amazing work Sir. You mentioned restoring back to "as raced", isn't the metal work you are doing way to nice?

Is that Molly Hatchet

Its a painting by Frank Frazetta that was used on a Molly hatchet album cover. I believe the original artwork sold for several million dollars recently.
