Topic: Last time around for this car

[mrpontiac80]

Hi guys,  Just a little advertising for my car.   This is the last time I am going to list it ( #3)  Third times a charm maybe.   1st time it was removed by ebay for linking to outside source for my video and stating that I would accept cash and after relisting for the first full duration, it ended just short of the reserve.    2nd time ended with a buy it now but a buyer that had NO intentions of following through.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the auction.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220299624709  It ends Sat, November 1st around 6:30 pm central time I think.  I guess if it does not sell than I won't get the chevelle, but at least I can move along with some changes I'd like to do to it I guess   Im thinking shaker hood, black custom interior, maybe other things to stand out

Great looking car! If i had the cash I'd but it in a heartbeat. Good luck with the sale!

how did you make the door pannels

[dgtldesigner]

nice looking and the door panels are sweeeet!

[mrpontiac80]

I have done auto upholstery for years, so I did them at work one day.   The door panels are "sculpted"  like you would find in custom rods and such.   In a nutshell, I made all new panel board and glued my foam pad to it after attaching the curved upper rail.   After I had a layer of pad on it, I then made each part such as the wings and body of the bird in individual foam pieces and glued them to the first layer.   I then covered it in original type vinyl.

you know that guy making the comment about to 'blinggy'!! Why even make that comment unless you were trying to bargain for the car? Just struck me as odd is all!!!!!!!

Yeah, Mike just strolls in one morning and has this idea -- and you see the results!  The rest of us fidget and fuss for months and then people laugh at what we make...

Thats funny Rick,     I put off things that really bother me mostly because I do not have the money to replace the stuff.   So after saving for a while to buy the NOS hobnail, and exhaust, my door panels were just very nasty.   I knew I could do something that would look better and there is the result.   Took about a half day to do them I guess.

Looks great!  That's kind of the same idea I have for mine, but a different style bird and different placement.  If I can pull it off....
