Thanks everyone for the compliments. Ian, Is this the guy you're talking about?

Finally finished Pat's fenders.

impalamike- I figure I'll start giving classes when I figure out what the heck I'm doing! Right now, I'm too busy with clients projects to focus on teaching. I have done a few classes in the past and at some point, I'm sure I'll have time to devote to it again. I appreciate your...

Hi Brian, It was great meeting you too. I appreciate the compliments. If you wish to post the pictures here, have at it.

Hi Mark, No, he didn't. We discussed the fact that there are several 'opinions' as to what alloy and gauge was used, but that was the extent of it. The alloy could be tested easily enough and one could assume that GM used a 0 temper or "dead soft" As far as the thickness, who knows?? The...

Just got off the phone with Rusty a few minutes ago. Great guy to talk to. Thanks for the info Rusty. I appreciate it.

hey guys, Was the inner structure of the '62 aluminum hood the same as the steel ones? I assume they were, but to save extra weight, I could see them having lightening holes cut or using less material or whatever. I wanna get it right the first time!! A picture of a real aluminum hood...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the compliments. That's encouraging. I'll post some pictures of the progress if anyone cares to see it.

Great show I didn't take any pictures, but just wanted to let you guys know y'all put on a great show! I for one, hope you guys will make this an annual event. It tied in very well with the gassers and being that's the crowd I normally run with, I can tell you, they were happy with the outcome...

Hey guys, My ears were burning. That was me that built the aluminum '63 Impala fenders, inner fenders and door skins. I know, the door skins weren't a factory option, but the owner wanted them. We're talking about doing the bumpers for that car next. I can help you out with with...

Thanks bj, I'll look into it! Randy

Hey Fred, I'd love to see the P-38. A friend of mine, who sells metalshaping tools, used to stop in there on his way to various car shows and drag races to see how they were progressing. He would give me updates periodically, but I never made it down there to check it out. Building scale models...

TomK, If you can find any pictures of the Grand Prix in your book, please, scan it for me. Thank You Randy p.s. Now, about those fenders........ A few original prints of Mr. Franklin will get you set of those!!!

Fred, Thank you for posting the link. My wife and I spent our anniversary in the Smokies last spring, and one day that she wasn't feeling too well, she insisted that I do something of interest to me, rather than just sitting around at the cabin. I took a little cruise up to Sevierville with the...
