    so, what color are you gonna paint it?
    j/k it is stellar. I am amazed at the talent and patience it takes to get that level of fit & finish.
    just beautiful.

    My only gripe is the hard space, images of your car is taking up on my computer. I've archived, but always want images of your car at the ready! Your buildup is my bible.

    I went for a ride last nite and that coupe gets on down the road. I've seen the build on this car firsthand over the last 3 years and there are new details each time I take a look. The car has lots of work that isn't seen. That which is seen is very functional. It says hot rod pure and simple. Nothing there that isn't needed. You built an outstanding car, Rolf!

    Rolf -

    I hardly ever bother to add my "me toos" to these things - especially after its gone on for a half-dozen pages, but I can't hold off this time. As someone who was around in "the day", I just can't keep still.

    Your car is simply "spot on"- in every way. An instant cl***ic. If there is one car that deserves to be the definitive HAMB icon, this should be it. Magnificent!

    Congratulations and a hearty "WELL DONE" !

    Thanks guys for positive feedback, it means a lot to me. Like I said, I am humbled by the experience, and I have learned a lot.

    Posting the build on the HAMB kicked me in the *** when things were going slow.

    I look forward to a great summer ! :)

    You know life is good when Jimmy says this:


    Great car, and a really great build diary. Thanks for all you work on bringing us the build up of your coupe.

    Now go out there and enjoy it!!!!!

    I think your coupe is a perfect example of an early style rod. Normaly I see a car I like but see something I would change or have done deferently. Not this time. Thats exactly the way I would have wanted it. Congrantulations, great job!

    AMEN to that. Jimmy's car has been an inspiration to many of us, and I have been virtually been "riding" in his car about 100 times :D As a matter of fact, I think I will do it again ! :D
