I here ya!...hour here, hour there adds up....

 

monday night of a long weekend, spent the day taping off sanding and painting the chassis, cage , and firewall semi gloss black, acrylic enamel. done and I like it, now i can stand it on its wheels tomorrow or the first time.. cant wait... it has been a very productive weekend and thanks dave for all the help...

 

sweet color

 

thanks, man i love it so far

 

Very inspiring! I'm just beginning my gasser project car; a 1946 Austin sedan. I can only hope it will be half as nice as your Henry J!

 

just takes time and more time and a few bucks, id say know what your want long before you start on it and stick with it, dont build it to please anyone but you .... good luck and thanks for stopping here. stay tuned ill post it all the way to the strip for testin..

 

I'm going to try to make thunder valley this weekend,to watch david Morris's coupe. I work with his brother.

 

for the make up race? had him mount my front tires today. il lprolly be with him, I usually go with them and help on his car on pro street night... im old fat and bald... give me a yell , sam

 

That will be a hell of a ride for a mature citizen. Keep up the good work showing the youngsters that us old guys can still keep up with them.

 

Bitchen car! Always loved Henry J's! I remember I had this Revell model kit of one when I was growing up. I had that thing for years but somewhere it got lost in the fold. That was my favorite childhood hot rod by far.

 

Lookin' good, Sam!

 

thanks john, trying to be ready for the next race so i can race you, hehe.......

 

The car is looking great man, good job! Love those Henry J's.

 

Good job, Sam!!!
