    Minor update... I started running the wiring in the roadster. I have got it all separated out and run to appropriate spots. Making it all look clean and hidden as possible is the time consuming part. Choosing a battery has been tricky, but I think that I have decided on an Odessey pc680. Will post pictures later.

    Minor update: Dash is now installed and the gauges, ignition switch, and light switch are now fully wired...The end is near.

    Also mocked up my new air cleaner from O'brien Truckers. It will painted black with a polished top and front.

    Thanks 30TudorSedan and Rickybop. The prep before the paint almost killed me, but it was worth it. I think the black on black is a cool look too.

    Today may be the day that I start the beast... My dad and I will finish up the spark plug wires, add some gas and with some luck she will start and all will be good.

    The old girl roared to life today. Now, on to finishing up the front end stuff and she will be ready for some interior.

    Addition of the radiator and grille shell with the insert really makes it look like a car. I still need to fit the hood and hood sides and the front will be done.

    I think it looks cool without the headlights and windshield too. Unfortunately, California requires both of those little items

    Ok, the '29 is very close. I have been working away trying to sort out some issues...like brakes. I think I have determined that I need a new booster. Anyway, the car is mostly together now, I I hope to get it to upholstery soon.
