    Woof that gives me some warm and fuzzys.

    Looks fantastic man.

    What did you ever figure out with the flathead? Have you had a chance to swap the flywheel to see if that fixed your problem?

    @Stogy i joked and said that we should call it the quesadilla coupe because you can’t even get a burrito threw that window lol

    my solution is a snap on fabric roof insert just pop a snap and go threw the top for drive threw action. Probably see/hear them better that way anyhow.

    cars looking killer

    I’m really hitting it hard after missing out on the Roc last year…I’ve really been doing some thinking, every year that goes by without a Hotrod is a year I’m missing out on a lotta fun and memories at these great shows
