    I must thank the main man.....Neil Candy.(Blown 32) on the board.
    With out him, or his genius..... NONE of this could have happened.period.
    The man has heart as big as Texas and his generosity has no bounds.
    I learned so much from him and he has the patience to deal with a luddite like me.
    I can't say ENUFF good things about him.

    Also.... to my pal VonFranco.... who to put it bluntly... has been there.For listening to my whining and******ing and lifting my spirits when things were dark.

    And Flat Top Bob....just, well......he's Bob.The dude is a true friend and I am proud to say it.

    8 years kiddys... 8 years.Alot of highs and more lows than I care to remember.

    Whats left?.... 3 big things....Wiring,(starting this weekend)Exhaust(still need to find a shop) and finish the interior and tonneau cover....plus a million small things too!
    I most likely will be running my steelies and Champs most of the time.... the Americans and Hurst slicks are for kicks and fun.
    I will post a final Diamond Deuce installment soon..... complete with tire smoking video....

    Stay tuned,... same bat channel, same bat station.
    Vroom, vroom.

    Oh, ya. Perfect balance. All it needs now is a little road grime and a few bugs in that pretty radiator.

    Damn, Jeff!! How you figure on staying out of jail?! With a "TyrFryr" plate, great lines, and an arrest-me-red, slick paint job like that, the RCMP will be pulling you over and hauling you off just so they can drive it to impound.
    Sweet ride, man.

    Jr.
    I got them from a guy in Texas....I beleieve there a trailer light.... glass lenses.The red bezel is sculpted on the inside.
    the Tail light king?....let me do a search.... they were cheep too....10 bucks a pair.(or around that price)
    the front nerf is new.... the rear was built on the truck in the 50's.The exhaust tips are Chris Craft boat items....not sure of the year on those.
    Neil was the brain child on them.

    RoCk oN!!

    without wishing to sound like a tool... 2 thoughts that make me wonder...

    1. I guessing/trust that there will be a little bit of pinstriping (same color as your firewall) along the body swage and discretely place everywhere...:):D

    2. tube axle over beam? since you have the two options availible, any reason for the choice to run the tube? I appreciate that it has a large drop offering a really sweet stance, but keen to hear your perspective, as somehow (and I don't know why) I think the beam would have been the visually sweeter choice...

    Note: the above are random thoughts which should not be 'read-into' deeply, just ya plain old 'what-if' brain farts....:D

    Cheers, and congrats again,

    Drewfus:)
