    Dave I've watched yours and every one on here, and I've gone with Rick a couple of times to see James car progress. I like them all, and been hooked since first seeing Rudys green one. Roger

    Beautiful heads Dave. Have you seen the Ken Austin V-12 intakes. They are absolutely beautiful man. I had a 2 x 2 that I wanted to run one day in the 37 but never got around to it. He also has a V 12 Bloer intake you might want to look into. It may flow a little better than cutting up an original. Car is lookin good man.

    What up James does that really look like a stock intake to you? Oh and dude your talkin about as of last year had never made a blower intake. He had the wood pattern done but never cast one up. I talked to him at the LA roadster show I got a two peice tripower intake super easy make a plate to the blower. 👍

    James' car is beautiful. I just wish they would have used the 37 taillights. *****ing ride though. I knew I should have bought those spyder caps from Merv when he had them.

    Lovely car of Hetfields. Hope this isn´t taken the wrong way by anyone, and isn´t meant as any kind of criticism of that beautiful Zeph, but I´d have straightened out that chrome strip that runs along the edge of the running board. They always look to me like the running board has been pushed in, whereas they´re like that from the factory.

    I here you and agree. They actually made it curve in towards the door even more than stock. I would have done things different too. If I finish mine people will critique it too. Can't make everyone happy!

    It´s hard to find anything to criticise on your Hudson. That car makes me happy!:)

    Well that car is getting the window stainless cut down then hackin up the bumpers a lip is being added at the back bumper like the front. Then I'm building rockers and skirts. Then I'm painting it sick of bare metal.
    Thanks man.
