Progress Pics of the 63 INDY MAXX DART
I decided not to bead roll out of i wanted the clean look.. i figured all the strength was in the frame work and if the tin is the only thing holding it together , then i'm in trouble...lol.. i have a bead roller.. just didnt like the look..some of my critical peices are heavy alum(.100)and then the inner pcs are .062..so i am heavier than most in all of my tin. and the Door panels i have been waiting to do for a year.. i wanted something different, just like my Car..i think the panels came out very nice and i like the look..clean and simple..just like the paint.. the only thing thats not simple is the Monster i am trying to cram in the engine bay...going to install it in another day or so and then taking it to the chassis shop for a custom set of 2 1/4" headers to let her breath...other than that, i have built the entire car myself..and have enjoyed the challenger of all the issues and changes that i made along the way.. in 2 years i will be ripping it all out and having a Professional CM tube Chassis installed and motor to 604ci Blower..but wanted to prove that i can build a good solid Racecar..i build street cars all the time..thanks for all the kind words and good luck with your projects...will post some time slips in a few weeks...
