Default clam shells

Hi Walter,

Thank you very much for your offer. I will give you a call today (Tuesday) and talk off-line. BTW great work....they, the box and clamshells, look fantastic. You are not that very far from me. I will have to make a visit and meet you.

Cheers

First coat of primer.....and not looking too bad at all.

Also included is a pic of the dash that Bob Moseley helped me with by supplying decals for the speedo and switch plates.

Default When do you start the production run....???

Hi Walter

Now that you guys have the bugs all sorted out and gained practical experience....... when are you going to start producing the clam shells for retail.....

Mike...... yours will be custom to fit your 10:50s I presume..?

Nice repro job....... if it was not for the rust pits on the old one they would be hard to tell apart from the real stuff....

Boob

Default clamshells production run

Hi Bob,

Actually what I plan on doing is making "a few" pieces from the mold and save them for when someone needs to build a set. I won't do the fine work, I will leave that to who ever needs them. And yes I will be making a custom set for the 10.50s and a set for the 9.00s in preparation for the next owner of the truck...Looking forward to meeting you in Ottawa....all bookings have been made. I have spare time on Sunday 13 Apr....don't fly out till early evening. I can still pack my coveralls...

Here it is just hanging around....once this coat dries I will mount it on the truck and then hit it one more time for good measure and to cover the missed spots....next pic will be mounted and waiting for Clamshells....

Default closing shots....it is now mounted....

well this should close off this string for the time being ....all that remains is the Epilog.

That will happen when the clamshells are completed or my arm gives out....

Cheers for now....
