The BMW 507 Ultimate Build Thread!!!

[A12pilot]

Thanks, Charlie. You said you were going to do it, and you did! I’m glad you were able to get through my lunacy! Now you can see why I just couldn’t explain it all in mere minutes.

This show was so epic on so many levels. Many great contacts, many great introductions, and many friendships to cherish over the years.

Thanks for all the compliments and following along. Next year there will be such memorable moments as Paint; where’s my roller? EFI; why did I even think that was a good idea? And Upholstery; covering up mistakes, one piece of fabric at a time!

She comes home Monday and the road testing begins. Hopefully some good driving videos

Cheers
Dave

For sure. I really had to go through the whole thread to get the full impact of what you've done here. Every detail impressive - but those MUTT/frying pan wheels, though........

Everyone seemed to love those wheels. Plus, I break down on the side of the road and I can make a non-stick dinner!

Car comes home Monday!

You could incorporate that as part of the display next year !! Have a small camp stove and cooking supplies in the trunk as a survival kit for a break down. Make another center cap and have it on the stove. Fashion a spare lug wrench to have a spatula on the handle. I'd like to see the grumpy judge's face when he saw that... "This isn't a joke....judging is serious business"..

Dave, you do realize that you have created an actual 1:1 scale Transformer? It converts from a BMW into a cooking stove.

You are truly one the immortals that Budweiser classified as the "Real Men of Genius". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC3...nnel=zatoblade

Got to see this one up close. I like Dave’s version better.

Wow, thank you for the compliment!

53 miles on it so far and nothing catastrophic, so that's good. All on track for disassembly later this month in preps for paint!

More to come!!

Cheers

I was thinking the entire door panel looked modernized and what is the big screen in the middle of the dash ? Looks like a audio/gps display ?
