    I'm humbled, all of my idols giving me compliments on here...thank you so much guys!!:D

    Some of you might remember, when I originally bought this car it had been being built as a straight axle gasser and that's what I had planned on doing. I love hot rods, but I needed to have a custom again...
    It took a real lot for me to get going on the bodywork this past winter cause I hate doing it so much, but once I got going I burried myself in it. It takes me 10 times as long to do anything you guys do, but thats me.

    I can't wait to get out this weekend and start hammerin the pavement again...the rest will have to wait until next winter!;)

    Thanks again.

    Keith,

    A fantastic job. Like Doug, I also liked it in primer but the old time maroon is just super. A real nostalgic look.

    Have a great time with it. You deserve it.,

    Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate it!:D

    Nope, going to Rhinebeck so I'm unfortunately going to miss it. It sounds like it's going to be an awesome time, I wish I could have supported the guys, but Rhinebecks been paid for a while.

    I'll get some better pics when I can finally roll it outside and I'll get them out to you.
    A big thanks to you once again, Thomas...you were an enormous help to me on the suspension design when I started this project. I had never done an air bag set-up, so I had no clue where to even start. I've probably got around 9K miles on it now and it's been perfect!!:D

    It was a '37 Chevy business coupe...
    I had gone back this morning looking for something in one of my old build threads and hadn't realized I put so many updates up here. Here they are for anyone interested:
