    Picked up this little roadster just B4 Christmas, only had 150 miles on it.
    The color was the only thing that was UGLY.
    A few subtle changes, dump the 4 bar 4 hairpins, the wheels and tires for solids, the windsheild and top for a Rodwell setup. a little black paint and sum clear and Viola !!!!! a whole new car

    Is your spotlight an S-M light? I have a few but mine look more oval. Yours has an oblong look to it.

    Great results for a month of work and a repaint.
    Would have been damned impressive with just the ch***is work too.

    Very nice changes, although I didn't dislike the old top and windshield posts. Definitely like the new rolling stock, suspension and paint.

    Side note, I had a matching pair of *** fog lights which were round, I'm pretty sure they made an array of sizes and styles.

  12. Don, your going to run out of garage space. You might want to store a couple of those over at my place.

    That's taking what appeared to be a nice but not fantastic street rod and turning it into an OH WOW hot rod. It may just get lost in a sea of Black deuces at the roadster show though.

    My bet is that it will stand out once it's been totally "Donized".
