    The hood looks good all one color.


    To chop,or not to chop. That is the question.

    Been working on the spare frame some. I got rid of the mor drop axle and put a Dago under it so it matches the tub. Absolutely love the way a dago axle looks. Did up some different headlight stands using a 32 bar. The other ones I just couldn't decide if I like. I really like the way they turned out. Put on the old wires that I had on the old fordor[emoji2]

    Is that a flathead conversion for a Hemi?

    A friend gave me a crash co**** on using an English wheel a while back, and I finally got to try it out on my own this weekend. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
    Really happy with how it turned out. Just need to weld it in[emoji106]

    I wish I could say yes she is, but she is our personal little angel now. I was so down after she p***ed that I wanted to get rid of everything. Deep down I know she would have wanted to go for rides in the tub if she was able to, so just knowing that, I decided it should stay and that we should use it to make future memories.

    I know how you feel. My daughter was diagnosed with a brain stem Glanoma when she was ten and p***ed a year later. It was 29 years on Sept. 22 and I think about her every day. You just take lt one day at a time. I had the same feelings that you did but I stopped working on mine, wife was a basket case for about 3 years. Have a son 2 years younger and had to stay strong for them. Stayed busy with work and finish your car.

    ****. I'm sorry to hear that. Sorry for your loss, I can't imagine anything worse.

    Hopefully you'll find some healing in building the phaeton.

    Mike Elmer said the best way to get ahold of him is at: elmerequipped@gmail.com or shoot him a Facebook message on his elmer equipped page. Super nice to deal with, and the shocks are exceptional quality.
