This is just incredible! A masterclass in building - one of the best showrod builders I've ever seen. Amazing job, thanks for sharing, buddy!

My photographer girlfriend informs me that it's because of how lenses work - I've noticed that in pics of things before so she explained it to me. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming  |

Bubble wind screens are smaller for a reason...it's to be able to open it.......thanks I was wondering about that, yes they do look small. Although they don't open on the actual vehicle; it'll be interesting to see your interpretation.  |

Zzlad! Yeah! Those bubbles were originally to be used as a mock up. To which all I had to go on. So they kinda grew on me. I do also know that the cars bubble didn't open.there is really no practical entry way especially how cramped is in there. So I figured I'd make them to be able to open. I am originally going to make them bigger probably via 3Dscale parts but still open.. Or vacuum my own...

Thanks "Newt"..your artistic mind baffles us every time.......... So what do you mean by 'your artistic mind baffles us every time'? Are you confused by his drawings and ideas? |

First of all Arniebodybuilder!!!!! I was being facetious and it was just a figure of speech....follow me now!!!!!! the word baffle has multiple meanings: mystified, confused, muddled, stumped I could go on. Now with that being said. Are you or are you not confused by the show rods built back then with no practical way of driving it or even fitting into it to drive it. It looks kool right. I am an artist graphic designer and such. Ed Newton is a genius from his art to his concepts, not a salamander or whatever your referring to. Im baffled on how persistent and consistent he comes up with his designs as in genius,as in talented, as in a showrod hero. Now if this is over your head I can't help you there....so please! stop trying to use your political dictionary and do some building..... this is a showrod site not a debate group..........no more on what I meant and move forward.............

Howdy! 41chevy how art thou? hope all is well my friend yeah! the outter is solid brass to which I had to hand sand to where I have callus's and my dremel to over heat.....but thank goodness my last job they didn't want to pay to ship what they've acquired here in Oregon so they auctioned a lot of tools an equipment. I had first dibs on stuff so I got like 15 dremels once used or spanking new.....for free being as though I orchestrated the auction being familiar with these parts.....my sorry for rambling.....hahahahahaha...lol
