  2. Wow! The cad looks right at home in the ch***is.

    What are the plans with the exhaust Palle? Stick with the black porcelain system or go custom made?

    thanks guys..glad you all like it!
    as for the exhaust..i dont know for sure. stock manifolds has the crossover which looks wrong in my book. so I am looking for the army or is it marine outlets..or make my own headers!
    i'll be back!!

    Palle you have been very busy busy the last couple of weeks.
    The progress is really fantastic.
    It will be exciting to see the wheels get back on it again and the ch***is sitting on all four tires.

    Okay..still cooking!
    I spend time having the engine and trans, to fit the rear, and the frame.. but today I finally decided that we where in the right position. so I Custom build the caddy engine mounts today!
    it feels good to have the heavy boat ancher in place..
    I dont feel the progress is fast enought, but this week an old retired tinguy, starts on the body. that's great..this way I can stay focused on the frame work, and get it ready to be reunited with the body!
    thanks for the comments, and for looking!

    okay guys..some funny details here!
    the tail lights where made by Bob Hirohata in 1951. I am pretty sure they never was off the car since.
    so if you wondered how these where made...
