MadMaxImages, I sent in a couple of pictures when I registered; I also had a few phone conversations with them... they know what it is I have.
Now, this might come off as me being a little full of myself... but if someone were to start a call-in campaign expressing disappointment at my vehicle possibly not being there... I'd be ok with it. I don't like resorting to this stuff, but I've been busting my ass on this project for the past month, I mean EVERY spare minute, trying to get it ready in time for the Autorama. I'm desperate, and I REALLY want to go. I'm sure if you looked up "Detroit Autorama" you'd find a contact number at the bottom of the page where you get a registration form.
I'm just sayin'.

Re: Building the Humungus machine
I got a letter from the Autorama today... I'M IN. 
I also picked up the Machine with her cool-ass new exhaust stacks. Man, does she sound good; and so loud! Rockin'!
I spent most of today at a friend's shop, putting most of the parts and panels on the Machine.
The angle of the front bumper is a little higher than it should be, or else I'd never get it up onto a trailer.
And, I had a weightlifter friend pose for some pictures. I'm going to have a life size stand-up image made up of him to stand next to the Machine.
Tomorrow I put together the grill, and if I have time I'll weld that on. I think I can also add on the headlight and the bodies for the front. Then just a few little odds and ends. The only 'big' thing is getting some pipes bent and painting her up! There are a bunch of non-essential things, but it sure does look like I made my deadline!

Re: Building the Humungus machine
Looks great!
Did you make the exhaust so you can hand lift the chrome stacks off? That would be sweet.
Great you made the Autorama too! Are you going to put the dummies on the front for the show?

Re: Building the Humungus machine

Re: Building the Humungus machine
An OUTSTANDING job, Dave. Well done. I have a thought on the front "bumper", in that you had to raise it for trailer clearance. What about building it on a hinge and rigging air or hydraulics to raise and lower it? Just a thought.....
