    Haven’t posted in awhile. After collecting all the parts to make it a traditional AV8. A really good friend helped me get the flathead running. A few weeks later he passed. Didn’t touch it for like 6 months. I just recently got back to it. An awesome friend that does my upholstery reconstructed old phaeton top material I found into a roadster top. Did the interior also
    I’m back into it. Lowering fenders etc …..I have all the pieces I had collected

    I didn't even wanna hear music after I lost someone close to me a few years back. The sunshine and tweety birds were pissing me off. No interest in hot rods. Strange.

    It does take a while.
    "Back on it" is a good thing.
    Whenever it's right for you.
    Very good to see you and your hot rod Roadster.
     
  15. Looks really great... Sorry about your friend too. "Flatheads Forever"
