    I think your car is the reason I like Shoeboxes.

    Looks like a winner to me. Nice job. Way better than what I have accomplished on my projects in the past 2 years - but trying to catch up.

    thanks guys,i will post pics of the flathead tommorrow.Bob i still want to put some chromed fenton headers on the flathead,and looking at frenching the anntenna.I kept it real clean and simple as that is what i liked about the barris early customs as well as the alaya customs.I think less is more.too much will kill the look and detract from what old henry churned out

    Show us the motor! If it looks half as good as the exterior that thing will rock!
