Different Kind of Side-Job

I needed some wheels welded awhile back so I took them to my mechanic.  While there, a hot-rodder and I got to talking.  He ended up commissioning me to put in a floor and walls in the trunk of his '39 Ford hot rod.  This is just ply, Bondo, and epoxy, but it still is a bit of a fun project for a Saturday (actually, any day of the week!).  The ply panels will be upholstered in scarlet red; the existing grey upholstery will also be redone in red.

I took a bunch of photos of the car knowing both of you might enjoy it :)  Oddly enough, I forgot to take pictures when the floor was done, but we've seen enough ply, haven't we?

  2. Are my speakers broken? Seems like this video must have some Beach Boys behind it. :)

  3. Ha ha, good one...

    I never did pop the hood for a photo. When he picked up the car, he said he'd bring it back for follow-up pictures of the upholstered trunk and some of the engine. It's a big 350 with racing modifications. I might film it instead so he can give the engine tour.

So if you're an online-casino spambot in human form, kindly get run over, dropped head-first off a prespice, or caught up in a bailer; bot-choice. To decent humans, welcome! And thanks for leaving a comment :)
