    I'd like to see pictures from a couple more, different angles first before I give you my opinion.;) Just kidding- if it were mine I'd have taken more pictures of it! It's just like a proud papa with his new baby.

    Looks great. I've been following your progress as I have a pair of mid 20's Chevy cowls in my stash that I've been waiting to do something with. Very inspirational.

    hell yes-that car is amazing! nice work for sure.
     
  17. Thanks v8val! I don't know, Greazefest isn't really my thing, we'll see.
    The belly pan really brings the proportions together, without it, it looks pretty **** as the wheelbase is 109".

    Sweet! Looks great. Very inspirational. The belly pan and all the unpainted parts are killer. They're a really nice feature. Nice work.
