I have been doing some work on the sled, including a new rendering of the car from the front...

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I built the front bumper from a '53 Ford bumper I got off e-bay...

I picked up an airbag system for it for $200 from a buddy that works at a hot rod shop...

Lots of other bit of progress too. Many more pics over on Volksrods.com

BTW, the Sled will be at the Invasion on Saturday, at least. It will be coming on a trailer, but it will be there.

your braided line there is worth way more! i would however recomend you get some viar compressors. like the 480c. those dc500's are crap, and draw alot of power. (in my opinion, you'll be alot happier) but nonetheless the best score i've seen in some time.

the rendering is SICK, and the front bumper looks awesome! keep it up Wink

I dig the bumpers the renderings are kick a$$ but how many cars were harmed to give birth to this beast?

wasn't meant to be offensive I was just counting colors and panels, looks like a couple sets of rear fenders a roof and a half or so and a lot of misc sheet metal.. all the colors everywhere I think a quick primer job would make it a lot easier to see your vision of a finished product... my $.02 but like I said I like a lot of what you have done, keep up the good work

Very cool and different! Keep us up on the progress. I love the dash! That dash just screams 50's. Wonder what it'll weigh once it's all said and done?
