      Why half-ass it?
      Just kidding, I thought I knew something after 30 years of screwing with hot rods.....I now see I know next to nothing, what a shop you have and man the fabrication skills are awe-inspiring. I've been using my 3D drawing skills to design parts lately and making use of local 3D printing services for test-fits before cutting metal. Since you have everything else might as well get a 3D printer.
      Outstanding!

Naturally, this car would be built with a Pro-Touring vibe.
      sure you don't want to be my brother? you could just build this for me!lol.

      LOL. probably the dumbest thing i have ever done with this car find the cleanest most rust free Chevelle and cut everything up and replace the rust free sheet metal! hey i never claimed to be smart!

      . I have been learning how to do 3d cad work to transfer files to 3d printers and plasma cutters as well as cmc machines. the learning curve has been har however i think i am finally catching on . hoping to make the future of my car building brighter!

      i found and old conveyor on craigs list and decided to build a frame building jig. to implement what i learned from Ron Sutton's workshop so it looks like the Chevelle is going under the knife again! hoping to get this pile of recycled material to use to give it a new life!





      learning to draw in cad. and put it to use on a cnc plasma table.also learning how to use that too!
