    last week i started a thread on a new roadster project for one of my customers, here is some updates on the progress.

    the wheels got coated and the tires were mounted. i could not leave well enough alone, so we mounted the body and mocked up the hood and grill shell.

    more later.

    I think the wife and I may just take you up on that ... on our way to the LA Roadster show in June. It is only a few hundred mile out of the way and I would love to visit your shop.
