i love how you painted the hood in the back too

i was just talking to my wife about making the transition a little smoother. i only got one side done, so i will be doing the other side just like your chop the side thats already done is going to be a pretty easy fix, so its not a problem.

There has to be a raised cap with a BBS logo. Or are you wanting it flat there?

i'm so sad that it can't happen

i knwo its harder with the 4dr my friend but stll can be done just doesnt flow right with the flat part of the rocker at the back corner of the door, i would have just continued the flare down with out the long blend into the rocker

Everything is continuing to look great man. I like the idea about making the rocker section longer and a smoother transition.

What gauge metal are you using?

with all the custom stuff he does, last resort i'm sure he could make some sort of extention to hold the cap he has.

WTB: mille miglia chronos
WTB: Borbet Type E center caps.

You tell him!

Fricken talented What gauge metal are you using?

thanks man. i do what i can. i used 22 gauge for the rocker pieces and everything in the bay too.

is this going to have a side exit also?

i'm not sure how its going to look with the angled rockers. i most likely wont go through with it. i am playing around with some ideas for the center of the rear valance though.

i forgot about the rockers being angled.

im keeping my eye on this one

whats the purpose in using the 4 cylinder ac compressor? is it from an aba?

also what welding machine are you using?

thats a pretty cool idea. i don't think i'll be able to make a whole new rocker from scratch and have it turn out good in the end. i'll just smooth mine.

very sick! whats the purpose in using the 4 cylinder ac compressor? is it from an aba? also what welding machine are you using?

no purpose. i needed an ac compressor and the only one i had was off the aba that originally came out of this golf. had to change the pulley and the end cap where the lines go into the compressor.

welder is lincoln sp 175 plus

Dear Lord baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the south call you, "hey zeus"...Dear tiny infant Jesus...

Beautiful work.

I'm just here for the pictures.

nah. then you lose the rocker line and it looks like you just slapped a generic flare on top.

that's the problem i have with Brad's jazz and Marc's ginster

don't be so modest. my buddy just did something similar to his rabbit:

WTB: mille miglia chronos
WTB: Borbet Type E center caps.

Syracuse, Juventus
PVW 2/09

its a 25/75 mix of both. can't remember how much of which.

had a little hold up with the parts for the car that i'm working on so sanded the bay down and re primed it.
