    That tread pattern just looks so right and the dull black sidewalls against flawless bodywork & paint make it a winner. Happy New Year!

    Thought I'd give the latest up date on my car. Bryon at Finishline and the crew (Roger, Adam & Joe) really did a fantastic job on interior and top. So happy how it looks, here's some pics...

    Thanks guys. Yeah it took a long time. I'm a blue collar guy and just didn't have the resources to bang it out quickly, just saved and moved forward. Now that it's almost done I'm happy I took my time and didn't cut corners. Would have been a lot easier to just take the body and put on a new frame and put a SBC Chevy in it but I felt the car had to be built the way it was intended so many years ago. Figure its been apart since the late 40's so a 70+ year build. Might have a record as someone wrote years ago LOL.

    I must have missed this thread years ago, or maybe my memory is failing. You've done a beautiful job with this project.
