    I'm with Mikey. It would be a crime not to drive that car. Seriously.

    It's a new world with the car at this level (on my knees). "Shifty" came by and got the flathead running a lot better. I might be ready to cruise the neighborhood.

    Haha ! Just noticed that you finished off the attached garage also! Have been jealous of your big detached garage. No rust growing on you Texas boys. :D

    This car is going to look perfect in the GNRS History of the Custom building. Can't wait to see it.

    Yeah Rob on the brass trim. Very tricky stuff. The final fix was new brass sheets (thanks NOFIN) a thorough cleaning/burnishing with course steel wool. The secret to making it work was acrylic clear (not urethane or lacquer). They will be installed soon.

    Well, its time to go out into the world at the "normal" height. There's one problem. At the end of the driveway lurks mt. Everest.
