That picture was the inspiration to this car, what started the joke that turned into a physical object.

Correct Andy?

Pretty much ... I'm sure those old threads are still on here somewhere. I know i still have the original photoshop files of that blue "Limo". I remember i did a few different ones playing with the roof-line and sail panels etc. ...

That's the power of the Interwebs for you!

Found the thread!

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=2991


Looks like Mark S. did the initial image and then i played with several different versions of the center roof section ...

I've seen that page. In fact, i sent the guy an email a couple of months ago with links to the threads here.

He responded and said he would correct his web page. Looks like he hasn't had time to update it yet ...

Wow, it's been over a month since we last worked on the Limo ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


Well, here are the (crappy cell phone) pictures from today.
The front of the Limo had a large cutout in the trunk floor either for a oil cooler shroud or AC condenser. In any case, the hole had to go. I cut a replacement panel from the parts car, cleaned it up and welded it in.

The hole:

The patch panel:

Rough cut of the panel:

Trimmed:

Welded and primered:

I still have to do a second pass on the welding to close the pinholes and grind the welds a little bit nicer. But that's for another day.

I finished the design work for our custom oil tank as well. Gotta send it out for laser/waterjet cutting, then weld it all together. B)

What do you think about using seam sealer to fill the pinholes?

I don't like it ... I'd rather go over it a second time and weld them up ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's a really small time investment to do it right. The seam sealer isn't water proof forever and would only last a year or two of regular driving before you're doing it again and wasting MORE time than it would have taken to do it right.

This is awesome guys!! But, am I the only one imagining Herbie the love bug when thinking of welding two cars together? I'm picturing the front of the car turning while the back half continues on straight, or the back half surpassing the front half in a race. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hi there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I'm here for the week, until school starts again on the 26th. Mostly lurking though. Lots of new names I don't recognize.

Oh sweet! You guys kept my smiley! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif)
