    I started building my 32 on March 2, 2007 when I brought the Nailhead 401 home from the bone yard. Things continued as time, money, parts, became available. I have also learned so much here on the HAMB. On March 2, 2013 I brought the car home from the upholstery shop! Attached are some (dark) photos from our local spring 39th annual car show. It really feels good to have reached this point. Once the snow leaves this area I am so ready to put on some miles!!

    Congratulations Shoeboxdriver, your roadster looks great!

    Looks like we have about another 4 weeks to wait as there's plenty of snow on the ground and more coming Friday:mad: It's hard to beat that feeling of excitment and accomplishment when you complete your car and take that first drive.

    Do you plan to take it to Torque Fest and BTT50's?

    Great looking car. It's hard to beat a black roadster with a multi-carb nailhead. ;)

    Once again, Thanks a bunch for all the kind words!! I promise (Smokey 2 and HOTRODPRIMER) some decent outdoor pics once the drive is clear of ice and snow.

    Think Spring!!
