Midnight Ride - yesterday. At the moment in here is time when its dark outside only couple of hours

 

Very nice, was always very clear for me that I'm not going to chop mine..... but after seeing yours I'm not that sure anymore!

 

hehehe..thanks! I'm also glad that I finally decided to cut it (and it was not a very difficult job with this 40 chevy - thinking afterwards)

 

remove my front ww's - look odd but will buy a real ww's.



and black and white tuned - just liked it that way

 

Car is looking great. I bet you get a lot of looks driving that around.

 

That's a beautiful car you've built. It looks sinister with blackwalls when the engine is exposed.

 

Agree!!!!!

 

You're right! This car pulls a lot of looks...but also it attracts so many dumbasses - all with same questions. Not disparagingly - but sometimes this is wearisome But if aficionado knows nothing about the subject, you can chat for hours

Oh.. and yesterday I put the hood back - looks nice again.

 

Sure looks good....

 

oh, I totally forgot to ask whether you'll be putting fenderskirts on, glad to see them now, cool!

 

yes, I didn't want to put them on for hastening - because i had not the seals then. and that long ride without the seals probably would scratch the rear fender edges.

oh..and many of my colleagues said that i'd rather not to put them on. But ehh.. what they know about customs and hot rod stuff in here they probably saw fender skirts at first time in their life - and then dispossessed slightly. But car like this also..they have seen only at "count's cars" at history channel they said - so, the general opinion did not count then

 

Great pic! Nice paint job!

 

One thing that would help the custom look greatly would be front tires being as tall as the rear ones, i believe, as they would change the rake, and a dragging tail is a necessity, haha.

 

Agree.
The front tires are not the enduring solution. I want a little taller and narrow ones. But I have to collect some money before I can order them. And problem is also that the tires i have at the moment on the front is almost touching fender edges when turning all the way out..

And now I have the same rims as the fronts - at the rear too. Temporarily, they were different.

Last weekend was a biggest usa car meeting in estonia (American Beauty Car Show) I didn't put the car to show area, because I dont have normal front tires at moment and have some chrome issues too. But nevertheless - the real enthusiasts found me at the camping area If I found a more pictures, I will puload them to here also.



I got approved by John'd Agostino - who visited the "American Beauty Car Show 2013"
I'm on the left - my face - I just woke up in the tent - the face is still a bit sleepy and lightly hangover

 

Beautiful car.

Would look great with some 6.70 Firestones with a 3.25" whitewall from Coker.
Then add some full sombrero hubcaps and raise the front about two inches.
Just my two cents

 

Meanwhile - odometer shows over 1000 miles now.. Nice acceleration, good mileage, awesome sound, and lot's of fun



And some pictures that I found from internet..first two are from N.Ozols (Hamb). 3. is from "Picnic Americana" Tallinn.

 

Found some great pictures.
