    not sure, but I don' think I saw anyone say OUTSTANDING.

    Very nice work and just right on the level of detail.

  14. Very nice, I especially like the color.

    Curious though, are those Deuce or A cowl lamps for turn signals?

    I drove the Jerry's roadster yesterday and it drives as nice as it looks.I had my doubts when I first saw the pile of parts he bought,but I was wrong.Great job Jerry I'm sure the 57 will be a winner also.

    That is absolutely spot on! From those headlights, engine/induction choice, all the way to that louvered deck lid!

    Very very nice. I've followed this from the beginning and the end result is a perfect hot rod. Have fun with it, I know I enjoyed watching the build-up.

    Thanks for all the nice comments guys...I put about 70 miles on it today..I couldn't stop driving it! Many, many late nights with help from good friends combined with all the of knowledge from the HAMB and many almost impossible to find Caddy speed parts from the HAMB classifieds. Thanks again everyone.


    Someone asked about the cowl lights. They are Model A's updated with a dual filament bulb for parking lights and turnsignals. Buddy Palumbo and I set the EJ's up with a modern three prong socket and a H4 halogen bulb using all the original mounting hardware..didn't need to hack up the nice original stuff inside and was able to reuse the orignal glass lenses......Tech article to come.

    Definately an interesting project to have my hands in . It's certainly turning into a very cool old roadster ... gonna have to lose some more sleep to figure out the scrapple-powered part though ;) ! Jerry's gonna have a million miles on it by the end of summer , no doubt .

    Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Love the color, well, everything!! I should hope to be so lucky to have such a gem when mine might get done.

    Congratulations on the fruits of your hard work and determination!!

    Not DRIVE and enjoy!!

    I agree with whant you said on the H.A.M.B., I am inspired daily and firmly believe that the greater community of folks would benefit to have such associations of great people. Viva la HAMB!!
