Title: Old gasser style Post by: j-f on October 06, 2008, 18:21:13 pm Some weeks ago, we go with friends to save a 51 (?) Split window bug from the wood.
We have to cut it in 2 parts to take it out the woods where it was stuck ... First plans was to cut the parts we can save as dashboard, rear windows etc... But,as always, plan has changed. ::) Just for fun, we decide to put the car on a chassis I have and make it looks like an old gasser/ cal look that has sit in a junkyard for decades... Here is how it looks now. ;) (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/548/818/20081006/dyn006_original_640_480_jpeg_2548818_cf0faf9c6282d2bd94e76098f787b840.jpg) And just for fun.

I'm never frightened by some welding, but this time it's definitively too late. This how we find it :o (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/548/818/20080507/dyn010_original_640_480_jpeg_2548818_b8d9af6a51732a24e479a70532f250e4.jpg) (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/612/500/20080506/dyn004_original_640_480_pjpeg_2612500_194eff7e019192c48d473d8927c977f3.jpg) (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/612/500/20080506/dyn004_original_640_480_pjpeg_2612500_2921f1910cc766d778a6d8c73f5934fd.jpg) Title: Re: Old gasser style Post by: Nico86 on October 06, 2008, 20:12:11 pm :o Indeed when I see Fabs pics, it's dead. That could be a nice deco inside a house or garden. :D

That could be a nice deco inside a house or garden. :D No, it could go again! New floorpan, full cage, and hang whats left of the body off the cage! Even put a new pair of channels onto the pan and you might have enough body left to weld it in place! ;D If it is being sent for scrap though, I need the ashtray and dashtrims for my '51... ;) Title: Re: Old gasser style Post by: nicolas on October 06, 2008, 20:37:20 pm can you say tetanus shot?

I'm wonder how your wife will react if you put this in your garden ::) Yes, we found it in a wood between Rochefort and Han sur Lesse. ;) Quote Mmmm why not trying to rebuilt something for the dragstrips with a later body + pan + poly elements... That could be a nice winter challenge J-F ! You are kidding, aren't you :o If I'm going to spend money to put a car on the strip, I will do it the right way ;) And I will not take a such basis ::) (Even if it is now really light with all the rust that's eating the metal ;D ;D ) Quote i would say more than rat look the ULTIMATE HOODRIDE We will show to the hoodride guy what's a real hoodride is ;D ::) ::) ::) No, in fact, we put the car together to display it at a vw show that friends organized. Just as a joke. ;) But we were too late for this year. :-\ So, no hoodride, rat's ride or other silly name ride ;) Just a good laugh with friends. With spend 2 or 3 afternoon to weld it on a floorpan and shared some beers. ;) |
