    It sure is a Blast I love this ride, still more to do when I get spare money in, you all know how that goes, not a show car, just a Hot Rod in the era I like. Copy A1.JPG

    Hope to go to some shows but mines not a show car, it has cracks in paint and some dings here and there but- thats how I like it, I dig all Hot Rods but especially 1940's style as I grew up in the UK by the American Air bases, thats where I got my influence from, built in memory of my dear Mom who passed 3 years ago. copya2.JPG

    Nice, clean roadster, sorta like the effect of the frame aprons on a hiboy with the "A" frame.

    Mine is a similar build as yours and had the jumping out of 2nd issue. After pulling the trans, turns out to be a bad second gear, worn synchros and a worn snout on the output shaft......putting all the fixes in tomorrow.
