[Sales@Dutchboys]

Thanks guys....I have NO interest in hondas and that crap...Ive been going to shows with my dad since I like 4 And he's tought me alot about painting and cars...his car was in 3 or 4 mags...I and got some good experience when Kyle Tucker from detroit speed brought there display car to us to paint it....We had 21 days to do that car so they could take it to del mar....So I got to do alot on that....Now its time for me to have my own car!

Here are the wheels they are intros.....

Is that going to be a roll cage or just a roll bar? By the way, the car looks awesome.

Its just the hoop.....Its just in there right now deciding if im going to put it in.... What do you guys think? :thumbsup:

[customcam]

man great job good on you
:thumbsup:

[novanutcase]

Not sure what kind of power your going to put in it but I would say, at least for safeties sake, to put in at least a 6 point cage. This will also help stiffen up the chassis for better handling. By the way, nice job all around. I can only hope my car comes put as nice as yours! :thumbsup:

[Sales@Dutchboys]

:D Thanks guys should have some more pics coming soon....

[Steve Chryssos]

Looks good Paul. Won't be long now.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Thanks guys......The whole rear end of the car is together and the interior is painted.....My grandpa did get a whole lot of pics because when he came over we were pretty busy!

-Paul

[Steve Chryssos]

I'm glad to see a blacked out rad support. :thumbsup: Body color rad supports attract too much attention and therefore take away from the grille. Just my opinion, of course.

[Steve1968LS2]

I have to agree with this.. while mine is not black it is dark charcole gray.. seeing the body color through the grill just doesn't look right IMO. Nearly as bad as seeing a radiator companies logo through the grill (painted in BIG letters)

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Yea the radiator is going to be painted black in front also....

-Paul

[novanutcase]

Hey Paul, great looking car, man! One question, did you have to drill out the rivets on your original front clip to get the radiator support off? On my '66 the radiator support is riveted to the subframe in certain areas. Also, did you smooth over the rad support? mine has more indentations for stuff. Did you make a custom support shelf?(The piece that goes on top of the radiator support)? Sorry, that was more than one question wasn't it! :lol:

[Roger Poirier]

I am a little late to the table on this project. However, I like what I now see!

Very impressive........... :thumbsup:

R.P.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Yes your right you have to drill out the rivets on the radiator support at the bottom.....Yes thats the origanal radiator support but it have be modifyed alot it...Probuly would have be easier to build a new one ...Or get one from martz....Thanks for the complements....Should have more pics this week ....Any more ?'s or if i missed any Just ask

Thanks-Paul :thumbsup:

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Thanks, Roger....The car is coming together just how i wanted it to.I dont know if you read my other post but my interior guy layed down his motor cycle a couple weeks ago....and he got backed up ...So it dosent look like the car will be done for columbus good-guys ....what the deadline was that we wanted to meet. But the car is looking great and i dont want to just get a quicky inteiror done just to get it to 1 show....

Thanks again

Paul

[Roger Poirier]

Waiting is the part of the game. It allows you to take a step back, appreciate what you have accomplished and yet confirm things that still need to be completed on the project. It's hard to get everything done completely right the first time.

R.P.

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Yea...We were just feeling rushed to get it done for 1 show....That car is going to be a really nice ride and it will look like crap when you start doing thing half A$$ed just to get it done!

-Paul

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Hey Guys....Working on the car today..........Im getting SO excited the wiring is done gauges in so many updates....Just a 5 mins ago i got the inner fender panels in and a couple other things...and droped it down on the ground.............!!!! the car sits so good!
