    it is an easy oversight. He doesn't really advertise. But it seems he doesn't have to.

    not touchin that for a long *** time. After this car I have a 40 hudson to work on. Maybe after that... but I might do my 55 buick instead. So many cars to build. So little time.

    we'll see. I still have the headliner and trunk interior to finish after this. Then the side gl***. then hopefully, get everything replated and polished. Everything is either rebuilt or new except the motor. I was told it was a low mileage motor. So i just took it apart, checked it out, made sure it was ok and replaced the gaskets while I was in it. Hell, even the wipers will have new components soon. I expect a good amount. That I will say.
