    Here are some progress pictures on the 41,,,,since the last update i've welded the quarters solid, ground down the welds, and am in the process of modifying (narrowed 4", trimming), and fitting the rear bumper to the car. Hopefully here are some new pics:

    What color is it going to be, and what is powering it? I love it. Makes me wish I had talent and patience. Hell, I'd take either one.

    That fucker is AWSOME Jim, I love the way the later model fins blend in with the lines of the early Caddy.

    well,,this year i'll be happy just to get it in primer,,,plan to paint it next winter hopefully,,if i can keep going at this rate,,...i'm leaning towards something dark for the color,,,maybe a dark maroon or eggplant or black,,,,,,,it was white when i got it, and that made it look HUGE,,,,kinda reminded me of the titanic,,,,,haha......it has a 62 or 63 Caddy 390 in it with a 3 speed on the column (how cool is that??!!),,,,
