    Not seeing a maroon, I vote Sandoval Green.

    The chop turned out great. It's very cool to see what the drivetrain plans are, too!

    Perfect! Just the way it should have been made originally in 1931.

    Fenders... Montana weather and hi-boys are a bad combination. Been there, done that.

    Update ~

    Fenders going back on, new Excelsior radials (7.0-19 & 5.5-19), lowered 3".

    The EDGY F-head is at the machine shop. Picking up a '38 Chrysler OD tranny from a buddy next week. Sending the front axle out to be dropped soon.

    That looks great!
    Really like the blue/black combo, tires fill the
    fenders just right.
    Dropped axle with make the stance perfect.
    Great job!

    Does it still have the soft top? If so I beg you to not fill it in.
