    Another great home build. Looks killer, you must be happy with that. Rims look really nice, simple but classy. Mind you i would say that as i have pretty much the same combo. Your hard work has been worth it for sure.

    Well, got the ol' girl dropped off yesterday for the interior. I drove her several miles to get the bugs out. My speedo is about 25 toooo slow, thanks to one of Tennessee's finest. I'll have to make some speedo gear changes when she gets back home. I have no idea what is in it ... but for sure it is off! The nice police officer let me go with a warning and wanted me to take a picture of him next to it with his phone. So I did ... may have saved me a couple bucks there ... still was a great day! We here in the H.A.M.B. world knows what it is like to drive a piece of American History! O what a feeling it is! Now I have a little time to get the AD moved around in the shop. Start a need list. Thanks for all the comments and interest in the car. I have enjoyed it and will post some pics as soon as I get her back.
    Thanks Again,
    Gadget

    Where did you source your desoto teeth from and who are you using for chrome? Nice job by the way. Come to Myrtle Beach in March for the Run to the Sun.
