    Andy, Looks Great! Why don't you be a nice young fellow and bring that body on down here and trade it for mine. It will give you something to do! ;) Seeya!

    Thanks fellas! I'm so excited I'm about to jump out of my skin here!

    Jeff, yeah it'll be there. My club bros. will have a few of their cars there too. Turkeyjerk's grabowski-inspired T roadster and kwmpa will prbably have his flathead-powered 34 pickup out as well. We'll be heading out to Bonneville a few days after Niagara.:cool::cool::cool:

    FUCK!!!! That's so awesome!!! Andy, I am so happy for you dude. That thing is by far one of the nicest around. Looks like you could use some North Carolina weather to drive it though....hint hint, nudge nudge, wiggle wiggle.







    Soooo cool.

    Is it base clear or single stage?? What about the frame? Was that done with the same paint? I know you did the frame and a friend did the body right?

    Anyhow, I think it looks great. Post some videa when you take that spin!!!

    It's base/clear, I originally wanted to do lacquer, but it just wasn't in the budget. This was a good compromise. The frame and painted running gear parts are just plain old industrial alklyd enamel.
