    As some of you know, both my brothers, Sam and John visited me recently, and we all did a little work on my car to try and get it down the road and had a blast doing it. We filmed the first "real" drive, but my wife couldn't let a second rate video be posted on the internet, so she spent countless hours with our 5 year old computer trying to make it look good. Long story short, we need a better computer. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures(it looks good on my end, just can figure how to post it in high res), enjoy.

    Looking at those pictures, your car is a traditional hot rod in every sense of the word. I'm even more impressed thatn I was after watching the video. I've said it once, but I'll say it again, you really should be proud of your accomplishment! :)

    *****in video dude!!! That car looks absolutely amazing!!! and to build it with your family helping out and a wife that backs you the way yours clearly does... congratulations and way to go!!!

    The resolution of the video has nothing to do with you or your computer. The video hosting site automatically compresses the video to make it more accessible on the world wide web.
