    Man when I got this photo yesterday I knew it was on! B16D8447-A54E-4920-AB50-A4EE07BC2ACB.jpeg looking great and those inner fenders up front are a game changer in the vibe of the car. It’s really coming together IMG_8581.jpeg

    Well did close to 13 hour last push to get the car all a car and now I’m on too wiring and brakes and fuel and all that fun stuff that never seems to end I shortened the tie rod, heated and bent the little steering arms to accommodate the 4 inch drop axle, got a 2 tooth model a box and drag link on, and my 37 dash in place, Jimmy can weld aluminum at the shop so he made me a column drop out of one of my old roundy round engine’s aluminum rods, lot more to do but I’m thinking I’ll make it to the Roc, the rear quarter tip isn’t gonna stay it’s jus there to see what it’ll look like till my new ones get here.

    Well working on front brakes and getting the doors operational, gonna wire and fire this week/weekend and do the clutch linkage, and hopefully finish up the other brake side I seem to have lost a few important parts along the way, and my Don smart panel came in, lots of people have a lot to say about him both ways but he’s a good dude in my book and makes the best damn Model 40 parts anywhere also got this old boat tank from the @porknbeaner years ago for the model a and I think it found a home in my 34 :)

    Feel free to print this out and make a small little sign, to clear tape it to that red Johnson fuel tank, it should cure any questions about the content or the intended use !
