Metal Flake Interior Edsel

Currently we are working on our '59 Edsel Wagon. One of the things to do was the interior... The original was pretty worn and the drivers seat was nothing but springs..the mice ate the rest..

We decided to do something different and contacted our friend Rachel. This is what she came up with:

Isn't it just great!!

Lil' Daddy Roth

As were visiting the guys behind the Roth metal flakes, we got to meet Ed Roth Jr. (Dennis) or Lil'Daddy. Big Daddy died in 2001. a big loss for the SoCal kustom car and art world.

Dennis had a buch of story's about his father. He was one of five kids Ed had. They must have had a crazy life....

TopChop Mockup

Hellyeah!!

49 F1 TopChop

This week we started on chopping the top of our future shoptruck...

It was our first try, so it took some time to put the saw into the metal....

After days of measuring, thinking and taping the moment was there...

To have an idea about the chop height, we first chopped the doors..

2¾" (7cm) should do the job...both Susie and me aren't such small persons, so I guess this is the limit..

Vintage Steel

During our trip through the states we visited some car cemeteries.

We've selected some of the thousands pics we shot.....

Just Married....

Some cool old Fords...could be great rods.....
