    I can't get back from it on the R/H side the way it's situated but I'll be round on the left shortly. plus I've got a car going to the paintshop in a week or so which will give me more room.

    You do great work, and have a really nice set of skills. I am hoping to get my dads 49 F-1. It has been sitting in his shed for 35 years un molested, flat head with a 3x2 intake.

    Great seeing your shell evolving without a parts catalogue. Wish I had 10% of your talent
     
  16. Looking awesome!! Good to see your making progress. Your nailing it Fleet. It's what the truck "should" have looked like from the factory.;)

    I got tied up in my house project way longer and spent more than I ever thought I would! Like ALL projects. Good news is I'm DONE! Went on the market yesterday, and I can get back to the shop! (and working on THIS house ).....Keep up the good work my friend you'r going to have a beautiful custom when your done.
     
  17. I killed my computer, so i could afford to drive the hot rod every day. Its working out great. The cheapo phone, not so great. Lol.
