    Well ive been busting my ass off to get this thing ready for back to the fifties and it finally done, i got this body from Mr Bleed a while back in kit form, or less than kit form, and ive been putsing on it once in a while when my patience level was high, but when it got low id walk away, but i knew i had to have it done for bttf, i put it on my 5 windows chassi with the buick in it because i wanted to build a new older style chassis for that car, so that saved some time in building the roadster, along the way of building this i really wanted to do a salt flat looking roadster, always have, loved toneau covers, loved the full hoods, god they are awsome, so this is what i came up with, i cant wait to drive it around, i drove it once, its a bit windy but who cares!

    i want to thanks my sisters boyfriend Jay for helping my out with the body work and putting it in primer, and thanks Kathy Weeks of lake elmo for her hard work on the lettering, and thanks to my wife the bitch (stichbitch that is) for getting the toneau cover done and 2 am monday night!

    JEFF

    Love it!!! Love it!!!! Love it!!!!

    If it were mine the only thing that I would change is I would run Wire Wheels. I think the look lends itself to them. Or maybe mix & match steelies and wires like you would find on 40's type Lake driven roadsters.

    Looks great, when your lovely wife did the cover she forgot to put an opening in for her to sit...guess she has to stay home?

    I could take this a really wrong direction . . . but since he seems to love and respect his wife (and she worked on the car), I'll pass on this one :D

    Oh, if your wife is anything like my ex, you better hope she don't read that or you won't have anymore 2am Monday nights:eek: lol... Seriously though, she should be commended for the excellent job on the cover!

    Already read your mind on that...:p
