    A nice set of skills you got there. The car looks good! Being there myself, you'll get used to nine fingers after a while. I lost my middle one, and the only problem now is trying to hold a pile of little screws in the palm of my hand........

    Didn't see the show, wish I had-anybody know if it'll be re-run anytime soon? OUTSTANDING job, really impressive! You've got a great eye...



    It's easy, just ask anyone who's never done it...

    seen the show on Saturday and the hot rod is amazing. I love the windshield from Steve.

    You are half my age and you have a hell of lot more skills than i do. You inspire even us old dudes.

    Keep up the work, looking forward to seeing the car in Santa Maria.

    I was watching the show and I kept thinking, wow this is all so familiar some how...

    Then they got the finger part and it all clicked. Holy crap!!

    It turned out awesome. The show was good too. Congrats man.

    Just curious, why did you go with a black grille shell?

    I missed this thread the first time around, gotta tell you that lower wood struck me first. Very impressive look!
    I also appreciated the uneven wood coloring in the bed, seemed to work well, ya know?

    Congrats on your engagement Jordan!
