    I think that spotlight is pretty lame. You need a real spotlight, I'm sure there would be some period ex-WWII searchlights you could get? God knows, WWII bomber seats still seem to be around. And if you mount it like you have on the p*** side it won't obscure your vision too much. Luckily you have bags, that would help compensate for the weight bias.

    Hey at least your car has paint (as opposed to primer or rust) on it. If you like the changes go with it and enjoy your ride.

    Exactly, claymore...thank you!:cool:

    Every car I build has an intended purpose, when I plan them out and build them I know pretty much what I want to do with them. If you know anything about me I drive the **** out of all my cars. I've built cars with "period tires" and I've built cars with "those f*cking ugly tires". I built this car with a trailer hitch and I haul my Scotty camper at decent speeds on the highway faster than I'd want to with "period tires'....why the hell am I expalining cause I sure don't want another radial vs bias ply thread...

    Soooooo...I said I'd post some pics out in the sun, finally got some pics before the Rainbeck run...it was almost sunny!:D

    Yes, well, I see you've taken absolutely no notice of my spotlight suggestion, but I guess it's turned out pretty good after all.

    I like the way the interior is coming along. Have fun DRIVING it!

    This car is too Much! I am looking forward to seeing it in person....I know all about hateful and painful body work, getting gaps "just right", getting trim to fit "again" etc, but it llooks like youve been doing it for years...the body work is awesome.....Great job, my fav custom hands down! Ive never seen you put anything out marginal anyway (The A, the boat) but, this takes the cake...great job keith....

    PS: I think you need a set of cragar SST's up front :)

    PPS: That donzi would look SWEET with a two tone auburn/white paint job....just a thought....

    Just to set the record straight....

    My comments where as fake as the Photoshops are... In fact I created the Photoshopped images for Keith... and had a lot of fun with it.
    We did fool a few though!!!

    To bad I could not convince Keith to get some real tall wheels and tires and to get the stance right, like my proposal...
