    I got a ton more pics. But I've been working. working on my bug. helping a neighbor to pay off 20 hours of work I owe him. And a few other things. So maybe tommarow on my day off I will add them (; I hope. Ordered headers, tips, window frame, ect. just the last little things so we can finish up the car in the next month or two!

    Thanks for the comments on my thread about my 27 chevy. I just checked out your projects, and you got a lot going on for a young man. And that T that you are working on is gonna be cool.

    Cool! Now, when the "T" goes out for the maiden cruise, use the opportunity to sneak your p'up in there and start tearing into it.

    You're a heck of a kid, keep after it!

    Not much to update. Been tweakin' things and getting all the kinks worked out. Been driving it a lot. It's been real cold lately, so it's been in the shop (although on a couple of high 30 degree days we've been takin' it out). Next time we have it out I will get some more pictures. Been workin' on the interior some too. I've been preoccupied with my truck. Haha. That's all for now. Until next time.
