    you already know my opinion.

    Getting staged for touch down of body.:eek: Got hood sides ready for paint. May not use them as a highboy. I like the way it looks without the hood. At least for a while. :cool:

    Wiring is getting there! It wont be long now:cool: Made mount for Odyssey battery out of the stainless steel front from Ted & Donna's dish washer.:eek: Thanks Guys:D I am using a Sacramento Vintage Ford vintage wiring kit. I have made my own wiring diagrams since much of the stuff in the kit does not apply to my equipment. I do like the cloth wire etc. I am prewiring the dash on the bench.

    Thanks, is the red handle on the kill switch something special or just a nice detail on your part?

    Got the steering wheel ready for paint, these photos show epoxy drying! Lots of the wiring is done. Hope to finish it up this week if other crap does not get in my way (yard work etc.)

    Down to the last few items! Waiting for one piece of wire loom from Sac Vintage Ford to finish the tail lights. A few 2 to 1 wire fittings from Joe's Antique Auto. in Mass. (he is the best V8 Ford Dealer around). Other than that just paint on the steering wheel. Finished up the floor and even had the wife up on the lift to help with the Bermuda Bell:cool:. Hope she does not see the second
    picture:eek:

    Looking great Mark and not far to go now BUT if Barbara sees that second pic you'll be in BIG trouble. Guess you will be doing a lot of driving this coming Summer. Excellent thread on your build with lots of detailed pics which is what the HAMB members like.

    Fired it up today!:cool: No problems. Still need to finish tail, brake and signal lights. Also put the interior in. That little Odyssey battery turns that flathead over with ease. Try to get some photos up Tuesday.

    been watching this, I'm torn, as I'm a highboy kind of guy but it looks so good with the fenders on too. Great thing to be able to just bolt them on and off !

    I like the new look, however, I like the fender version better. Just my opinion. Nice job though!
