Just a quick (and perhaps dumb) question for you about the order of things. Is it normal to put on the body/shell of a vehicle first and then do the interior work? I watched the video but since I'm at work, couldn't use the sound so I wasn't sure if you talked about that or not.
Matt said in the vid that it was just placed on top of the chassis.Monster Dave said:

Thanks - I sort of figured he'd say something about it but wasn't sure.Lear60man said:
My first thought is that there's no "normal" way to build this beast. Everyone does it differently, so it would be hard to say what the norm is.Monster Dave said:

that said, yes, the shell is currently not mounted, but is instead just "sitting" on top of the frame. As with many other builds, I imagine the shell will be removed and put back on dozens of times during the build, as is necessary for whatever step I'm working on at the time.
Today I'm doing another deep clean of the garage. I'm pretty much booked solid until the 10th of next month with a feature film I'm building some things for, and a convention. If my delivery dates for the car slip, I'm ok with that as the reason will be noble and just

I can verify this a body will be taken off a frame at least a dozen if not far more, and re mounted during a complete "frame off" restoration of a muscle/classic car if done correctly. This is done to check how well something from a suspension piece to a motor to exhaust will fit on the car with the particular piece only being held to the frame.MattMunson said:
I can only assume it will be the same building his "Matt Mobile" since it is after all a car!
A week or two ago I recorded a pod cast with a friend and fellow builder, Joey Rassool. Total run time is about an hour, but it's a really fun discussion with lots of topics covered. Please help me support Joey and his podcast by giving it a listen.

Just got in some metal grills, which I will post pics of shortly.
Also did a couple more video interviews, which hopefully will hit the web soon. I will of course post links when they do.
The great news is that the big movie projects I was working on are now behind me, so perhaps I'll be able to refocus my attention on the car
Please do. I really look forward to this build .

Ok, time for some pics! Got some vents, and did some body work today.
There's a few more pics and some more details on my blog. Please check it out and let me know what you think:

Glad to see you back on task. Now I have something to read.
It's so much damn fun to see this coming together so professionally - and by a first-time hobbyist! Way to do it right, Matt. Thanks so much for sharing the build with us. Great to see progress happening again!!!
Thanks guys! Glad to keep things moving. I'm probably most excited about the interviews I've done recently.I'm really looking forward to see how they turn out, and if they treated me nicely in the editing bay
Hey Matt,
How are things coming in regards to your Nov deadline/goal?
Deadlines have been completely forgotten.
What I forgot to account for is that other stuff might come along that would take me away from the build. But I guess from all the other builds Iv'e watched over the years, this is completely typical.
LOL, yeah, it sounds like life has been keeping you very busy!!
Hey, but there again, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey right!!??
Yes I am enjoying this thread. Glad to see some new work.
Mark
