    I'm frikin psyched!!!
    After mega hours in the garage the past few months, the '37 actually made it to the Road Agents Rumble in CT this past weekend. I got to put a few miles on it and only have a few things to straighten out.
    Here's a couple of pics I stole off some of the Rumble threads.
    Did I mention I'm frikin psyched!!!:D :D

    Here are some pictures I took this weekend. Definitely a popular car, everytime I walked by there were a bunch of people examining it in awe. Really glad that you were able to get it running for the show.

    Thanks a lot guys.
    Getting it running made all the hours and sweat more than worth it.

    That's the plan Joe. You saw how much finish work I have left to do to get it ready for paint, so I don't know if there's enough hours in the day between now and then!

    It'll be at the Alter Boys, but I'm not sure about Oakland Beach next week. Yea, tunes in it will be one of the next things to get done. I couldn't stand it even on the short runs I did this weekend. Gotta have tunes!

    "cuttin it real close" doesn't even describe it. I took soooo many days off work I'm surprised I still have a job...late nights, endless weekends, every spare minute was a trash for the last two months...the car HAD TO BE at the Rumble!
    Hey, I still have my job and my wife is actually starting to talk to me again...wait is that good or bad??? haha

    Keith, that is friggin' awesome !!!!
    I can't wait to see it in person. Probably at the Ty-Rods Reunion. I'll be there.

    All that hard work is really paying off. Now I want a kustom !!!!

    I sent this thread to Jim Cat so he could see the car. He's still telling everyone about your generosity. Glenn.

    Thanks bud, hopefully I'll catch you before Ty-Rods. Now that it's finally rolling there's a good chance I'll see you around.
    I'm glad that part worked out for Jim, no big deal and glad to help him out.

    Hey Richie, thanks.
    How've you been, it's been a while. I haven't been out at all until I got the coupe on the road a couple of weeks ago. It's great having wheels again! Maybe I'll catch you around before Ralphs.
