The Hammerhead project

i know, im really starting to love that front end.

[LONE*STAR]

The front end of this car is sick, I have to give it to u man those lights seem to be coming out sick,...I dont have a strong attraction to other parts of the car, But im sure if a nice wheel and tire combo slammed level ride height was adopted this car would win me over and will be awesome!!! As for the douchebackpacks that cant find some consructive criticism in there dislike for a fellow builders car, what car do u think every 6 plus year old boys going to go ape sh*t over not my g-mach firebird, nope! not with this guys ride in the same parking lot.

keep on going with bro.
use neg comments as gauges not a road block

Thanks for the input guy's! I think that the car should flow together better as I get the flares glassed in and smoothed out and the hood scoop radiused.(like the drawing)The checkers add to the chaos also.When I built the one piece front I had to drop the deck height @4"from the wheel wells forward to get the sinnister look I was after.

[showme]

The radius is going back in the hood.It will look ruff for a while,but that is what it takes to get there.

[formula]

holy shizznat @ the headlights....I freakin love it. Almost in some ways reminds me of what my front end would look like if someone pumped it full of 6 tons of anabolic steroids and then punched it in the gonads.

The hood looks MUCHO better now! really comin together.

The first time I saw this car I wasn't sure about it, however it's starting to grow on me. It's definatly going to get attention wherever it goes. Are you putting any type of ground effect/ diffuser on the back of the car? The only thing I'd change is to get the bumper lower to hide the suspension. I tend to prefer to have everything hidden as much as possible. Could help with the sinister factor too. There's nothing wrong with building something different.... That's why I'm doin a 50 Pontiac.... if we were all the same life would be too boring.. Good luck..

The rear get's air tunnel's.Thats what the two big openings are for in the rear.I was down low when I took the pic to show the C-4 rear.It should cover up alot of it.The buble taillights will get replaced with leds.

We he's done anyway. We took Goatman up to the vet today and had him put down.

I might pull the mono leafs and use adjustable coilovers down the road.I would like to get it as low as possible and still be a good driver.The tire and wheel combo will probably have a lot to do with that!(I'm thinking about swapping the OZ's for a set of big Boze wheels)It wont be this year though!(Too many irons in the fire now.) I can't quit laughin at that clip!Thats funny!! Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks but,I've had enough goat for a while.It's a shame that that had to be done.Why would someone take the the time to build a sweet car and never be able to enjoy it because they were Too much of an #ss!!I guess I'll never understand.
Thanks for keepin it cool.

I have to say I didn't much care for it at the start... but the more you keep fiddling with it, the more I like it. I'm betting with Venomous... I bet it turns out mean as hell.

Keep at it... I wouldn't even know where to start with all that fab stuff you're doing... I'm one of those guys that has to pay someone else (which could be why it's taking so long!).

Yeah it's hard to come in on the middle of a project and be able to see where it is really going.(This one was even worse because of all of the body fabbing going at once!)I'm sure that it looked like it was way out in left field for most. I think that why alot of people were/are skeptical of it.
It's cool though cause it drives me harder to finnish it!Sometimes,after a long day at work,the last thing I feel like doing is comming home and fiberglassing.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

oh dont get me wrong, if it comes out busted im gonna clown it all day long!

LOL.. jk.

[showme]

That's cool,I guess I'd better do it rite then.
(Man! I can get treated like this at home!!)LOL

WOW...I can't imagine having the determination to take on that much glass work, most of us have an idea in our head, then find the parts that are as close as we can get...then compromise. I love the look of the headlights (I would love to hear the comments from the first guy who sees that closing in behind him on the highway in the middle of the night...reminds me of a villain in a car horror movie...very menacing!) I think I can picture what you are heading toward, and I'm sure people will either love it or hate it...which is true for all original and unique vehicles...either way it will definitely be the one they spend the most time looking at in the parking lot. Have you ever considered having the hood scoop start nearly flush with the windshield, then rise and fall with an exaggerated curvature matching the fender? When I imagine the wheels I see something similar to what was on the ACR Viper, only matching the body color, but definitely the largest and widest you can squeeze under it. I am sorry if I missed the first part of this build, but what engine are you running, and are you planning any turbos or superchargers? Something with large diameter piping would look wild when you flip the front forward. Good luck with your build and keep us posted (any interior mods yet?).

[showme]

I must have laid this car out a hundred different ways on paper.The last front end was shaped out of foam and glassed.(like a surf board.)It was not mean enough!I would like to go with FI and twin turbos on down the road.(intercooled of course)But for now it's just a 355 roller,with cut and ported centerbolts.It's cool because the side pipes would go away with turbos.I like the sound of the sidepipes.The car is very lite for a vette.I will get the exact weight when it is done.The only glasswork that I did'nt fab was the wheelflares.I would like to make a mold off of the one piece front and have a few liteweight versions built.Just in case I need It,or want to alter something.The only interior mods so far is that it keeps disappearing.Big plans there too!(Long story.)

[showme]

The hood has been roughed in with glass.It has a little more height and a nice curve to it.

[showme]

Today the front flares get smoothed out and flow with the rest of the body.Slowly it will all come together

muahahahahahaaa... totally cool, i'm talkin dancing banana levels of cool.
