    I'm sure some of you guys have been following Leadsledmerc's progress on the C-Dan project on here. We hooked up with him last night at the Oakland Beach Cruise in Warwick, Rhode Island ( nice spot too - right on the water ! ) He made his way down there with a few local rodders from his area. This was the first time I have seen the C-Dan since ***embly and man.....this is one cool ride. From the open roof to the shift knob, to the hood ornament on the grill shell, to the small bumerette's framing the rear license plate and not to mention the sweet sounding headers and the killer dual-quadded 401 nail. I sat in it and although it's a little funky getting in, once your in there you got plenty of head room and leg room, some great planning went into this car. The dash is a dream, very easy to read the gauges, tach and speedo. I just had to give Keith some print and pics here to show you guys what can be done with an A Sedan, great job keith! I'm glad we were able to meet you guys down there and maybe we can make down to Plumb Corner Pizza soon. I hope you guys don't mind several pics because i got a few here, enjoy! Mike

    Great pics Mike. Can't wait to see the car in person. I love his truck, so I can only imagine how this came out.

    What is that dash. You're right. It is dreamy. And so is Keith...

    Hey Mike, it was great seein you guys down there. Thanks for the kind words and posting the pics. Thats a great spot for a cruise and it's good to hear you guys finally got home with Jerry's flatty ****ting a valve. There's so much going on the next couple of months, I'm sure I'll catch you all around. Try to get the other guys out of town once in a while!

    Wow,

    Nice pics Mike, I have been thinking about making that cruise again. I'll have to get on the ball, the summer is winding down.

    Keith, What can I say? The car looks great. Cars look better loooowwwww.

    Well, all except 54 Ford coupes.

    I just got my copy of "Street Rodder" magazine today, the November edition. There is a sedan just like yours in there on page 66. A guy in South Carolina has a Model-A sedan, chopped and channeled with a suicide front end and a Buick nail head with two four-barrels. Also a very radical exhaust system that looks a little like yours too. He's using a Model-A grille shell. He's got a very sharp two tone paint job, green and black like the original Ford colors... What a nice job there... go see...

    While you're at it...check out the '32 Plymouth roadster on page 140 for something really special.
