    Well pretty much done, i need to wire the gauges and get the upholstery done (the wifes working on the seat as we speak).

    Nothing to special, just a run of the mill traditional 32 roadster, 283 chev, speed gems adaptor, 36 trans, 40 ford rear end etc etc, when i set out building the car i was just going for the average joes 32 roadster back in the day, white walls, small block chev, 3x2 etc etc.

    this is the first car ive finished this far, and it was fun, my sisters boyfreind Jay painted it for me, we did it on tuesday night. it was a fun time

    You have way too much talent and cool **** for one guy.
    Is this one going to go bouncing down the road after BTTF again? Hopefully I'll get to see it in person first..

    Jeff, it looks great. You're not gonna know what to do with shiny paint. I know a guy who could help you with detailing supplies though. ;)

  12. Looks great. I was beginning to wonder if you would ever get shiny paint on any of your cars.

    Great looking ride...... My shop is still a mess after getting mine on the road two months ago. Seems like I always run out of time or energy on any project before getting my shop cleaned up. I even rolled in another project right in the middle of it. Maybe this weekend if I get my brake issue figured out. Again, BEAUTIFUL ride..... Great to hear your wife's involved as well.
