    I never cared for the look of a chopped shoebox in the past. Your car shows me just how wrong I was. What a great result in every way!

    I've always been a hot rod sorta guy and never cared for customs or sleds.

    HOWEVER; you've just showed us that every rule has an exception.

    Super smooth, Super Nice, everything great, then when I am looking at the overall smoothness, LOVE, love the overall smoothness . THEN
    I stop at the chrome things "sticking up' on each side of the windshield..

    what are those used for...( very intrusive, suddenly stops the smoothness )

  12. Thank you for the compliment. Yeah the spotlights are Appleton 112’s. I need them to find addresses at night when I’m delivering pizzas

    Very pretty car, very nice interior too, which is an area that some fall short but this one looks spot-on. I have the same steering wheel for my Merc project, looks great.

    Does the Shoebox column have splines? Isn't the Lincoln wheel on a keyway? Curious to know how that was accomplished, or if it bolts right up.

  26. Thank you very much. Yes it has a Lincoln keyed steering shaft so that i could run this steering wheel. It was a fairly easy conversion.

    Wow Man, you truly nailed every aspect of the car! Really pulls at the heartstrings.
    If I squint real hard at the lead photo, I can see Sam Barris sitting behind the wheel...
