    I should have the rear shocks early next week, then either ship them to you or "he" will bring them to you.

    Which one?:)

    The 3W needs lots of metalwork to make it right.
    The one to the right in the pic is a Model A on Deuce rails.

    Yeah, the 3W has some problems...

    Its diamonded, twisted, channeled, streetrodded ( hidden hinges that dont allow the doors to open without hitting ), chopped wrong, crashed, etc.

    But it will live again...

    No, I made a new one for the Dr side Rear.
    ( Sand bent...)
    But I couldnt do the other side untill it was back on its Wheels.
    So I can roll it outside, and step back enough to get them even with the other side...

    Looks great, love the ch***is, with the modified K with the "xtensions" as I like to call them...did you build it? looks good....what did you use for the rear k-member pieces?

    Nice car

    Most of the original K Member was torched out, so I made what I needed out of 1/8" sheet.

    I also built platforms for the Bellhouse mounts into the K Member.
    And the piece that runs to the Front on the Drivers side, with a couple kinks in it to fit a '39 pedal ***embly.

    The pieces of channel that run backwards from the K Member are made out of a Model T Ch***is...

    Shooting for the HAMB drags but time is running out quick and it will be far from p***ing tech inspection at any track so track testing is out.

    It looks like Alex will have his part done (all his work looks great, Thanks again) but I will still have to wire it and the engine, trans, and rear are still untested and need maintenance. It probably will not have a roll bar or any saftey gear back in it by then anyway so I am not sure about a full p*** if the engine is still strong but I do have license plates already!

    I have found a back up trans and some extra parts so I have to worry about that less!
