  1. You definitely have done the car justice and it is a very sweet ride. Miles of smiles my friend as you drive both wheel combos off of it!

    serious question, on the first post, 18th picture, why is the generator mounted at that odd angle? Or more properly stated, how did they do that?

  7. And that’s it. Summers over. Took a final drive before going away for a bit. Man I love this car. It’s nearly everything I wanted in a 40

    Man, this thing just sits damn perfect!!
    Love it
    What size tires did you end up going with front and rear?
    Did you stick with the 5.25 or move up to 5.50?

    This is such an amazing time capsule car. Absolutely perfect in every way, aside from you choosing the wrong caps and wheels :). I liked the black wheels and caps better but the red is growing on me. Any updates on the car?

    More pics @Chris. You not only have a way with getting these oldies looking and running right in record time. You also have a way with capturing the magic photographically that sets us dreaming that they were in our driveway. The cats meow is even if the dream remains a dream, we can enjoy you sharing your journeys with these blasts from the past.

    I'm just thinking I have to look up that Deuce 5 window you happened upon a while back...high fives Hamber.
