:beautiful: :woohoo: That is totally awesome! I sure wish we could see it in person. You wouldn't happen to have pictures of the door mechanism from the inside? I know how del's works so I guess it is about the same.......... :oops:

Just came across this thread and build. Oh my! That is incredible.
I can't wait to see how the interior finishes out.

Dan can you post some details about how you trimmed and fitted those windows?

Thanks,
Wes

roswell build

Postby dandan » Sun Sep 13, 2009 1:55 pm

Hi Guys, :)

thank-you again for the kind comments posted.
will be answering outstanding questions & adding the required piccies soon. :snappy:

have rotated back to normal life again with family & work dominating.

had a great time in Dorset with the roswell.
glad i fitted opaque film to the windows.
otherwise would have woken to strangers peering in on me.
it generates alot of interest to put it mildly !
there were a few questions on the cost of importing it from across the pond
& one guy knew more about it than me !
hearing peoples comments as they walk by is a right giggle too.
:lol:

as the speed limit in the UK for towing a trailer is 60mph, i can only say it
shows all the potential of being stable up to 95mph, possibly beyond !
that one i will never know.

have given permission for this thread to be moved to a "build journal" in the near future.
may continue this or start a new one for the fitting out.
have not decided yet.
any suggestions ???
best rgds dan. :thumbsup:

I can't begin to comprehend the ability to make that look soooo good!!!

It's like a baby Streamliner...I will agree with everyone else here...speechless!!...amazing craftsmanship!!...superb!! :thumbsup:

One thing for sure, it will never rust and I'd say you definitely have a one of a kind masterpiece...it actually belongs in a museum!!...A real head turner...have fun getting gas with that behind your car :lol: :lol:

I look forward to see how or what you plan to do with the inside.

Oh yah!! You have some really nice friends...I'm sure they'll want to borrow the spaceship when you're done with it. :twisted:

Postby dandan » Sun Sep 27, 2009 2:56 pm

have also decided 59 caddy tail lamps will be fitted in the future.
if anyone is planning a trip to the UK....la,la,la........

I will admit that '59 caddy tail lights were the first ideal I had when I was looking to build the Roswell...you have to put those on man!!

DanDan-

This is one amazing TD. You are truly a master. What do you do for a job? I really would like to see this in person. Sounds like a road trip (well atleast a plane trip)

How did you fit it out in the inside?

Keep us posted.............

THANKS
