    Finished finding and putting together front and rar end parts.Couldn't wait to see it up on wheels. Some modifying to tires and front spring but you get the idea.

    It is always an exciting part of the build to get the car up on wheels. Good luck with the project, looks like a good one!

    Hey Paul, I met the guy that has been hanging around your shop lately, at the Stafford Speedway meet today. He says those patch panels came out really sweet.

    I asked him if you are still working on the car, and he said "yes, he sure is". :)


    he also gave me a liitle info on the how nasty that 32 Vicky can get, if you are not careful with the go pedal:cool:

    I like it, this is going to look cool, be great to see it when its finished, I'd like to see more video's of peoples builds here too, as it gives you such a great view of a project, I'd like to know how you did the roof chop, thats going to look mean when the gl*** is in and painted, what color are you going for.

    Looks sinister H-C...I cast my vote for basic black...can't go wrong with it and it'll never go out of style...lots of body work though.

    That's because the build style and how quickly it's going together, is based entirely on your coupe build. No frills and using what is available in the pile of parts.

    That dash pic was before cutting/fitting; I will put up a pic of the final fit and the pedal setup. Build is going fast and it all works good so far.
