    No not yet I want to get it the subrails done first. I've got a little done the last week but haven't taken any new pictures. Real updates soon.

    Here is the sedan in my driveway before I got the hood back on. Gary's (kylon32) chop job is perfect IMO!

    Just after getting the car back on the road with all new drivetrain including a new 9", I found a basically NOS Halibrand 301 Champ. I'm driving the car to the Texas Roundup in April, and will get the quickie installed as soon as we get back.

    That QC is stunning! How did I miss that one? It will look good hanging out the back and match your dad"s.

    So progress has been a little slow. I got a new job and brought home 15 years worth of stuff that had accumulated at my old shop, this completely overloaded my home garage. Well that's mostly been dealt with now so I'm plugging away again.

    It is a lot of space now that I've unloaded half the junk I brought home. Plus the panoramic view function on the camera makes it look a lot bigger.

    What a bunch of ass clowns posting pics of of your street rod on another guys post.... Especially a guy who is so far from a street rod guy (oh wait maybe he turned he is contemplating a SBC) And a car that will be nothing like what you posted.. Gonzo see if you would have channeled that fucker the street rod guys would've stayed away. I got a nice set of original 32 headlights for ya if your in need. All the cool thread builds get mucked up with shit.. If those cars are pre 63 im out of touch.

    Forward motion continues! Wood is fitted and cowl vent is now operational. Going to the blaster soon so I can finish weld the floors and subrails.

    I'm sure this will be a cool car when done. I have the feeling you haven't gone soft yet. I like these two for examples of proper chop jobs. Just saying! This should pretty much clear things up. This is a hotrod board after all isn't it? 10389227_738139792891765_4754883205232603593_n.jpg XP8120321_JPG.jpg

    Don't worry a picture of the Varney Sedan is tacked to my wall. This car will be wrecked for the restoration crowd.

    Just killing a bit of time here. Thought I would do a quick photo-chop. Don't ask me how much. The program I use isn't very advanced. Just did it to what I thought looked right.
    There's a tudor body here in my garage that may get chopped some day.

    you know the drill. A man alone on the HAMB, photochop program in hand!!!
    Seeing as you liked my last effort, I think you'll get a kick out of this one!
    The second image is a bit blurry, especially when it is enlarged more. I could get it better if I redid it, but you get the idea!
