    Keith, that thing is coming along so sweet. We better becareful cause people are going to start realizing that our fat fender chevys look cool and buy them all up.... You set up the rear just like mine. Looks almost the exact same. Good job! I think I want upper tubular A arms now. Haha.

    No can do Thomas, I just threw that side on today so I could get a look. The hood and grill are just kind of hanging there.
    I've got a few things in mind, but I'm still not sure what I'm doing for a grill yet even though I like the stock 37.
    That suspension should look familiar, see that I did listen to you!!
    I'll probably bolt the other panels on tomorrow and I'll shoot a pic of the front for you.

    Car looks great. Cool to see a nailhead in there.

    Where did you score those fender skirts? My '40 Chrysler needs a makeover and those skirts scream custom.
