    Hey woh, Jim! You ain't exactly spankin' the monkey, there! 'good to see the ''pancake's" back with the hood panel! The whole fender top to cowl transision is really commin' on well, kinda has a 50s euro vibe, back when that wasn't a bad thing in design circles.

  17. Jim, dig this mouth the best... really looking good! I like it open though... no grill bars, think the grill bars make it too busy. This looks good. Maybe your draw pull idea set back...
