    Has the Lil' Coffin he was building been sold? I stayed in contact with him while he was building it and he was really excited but his health went downhill. He was a great guy.

    When did the front fenders get changed? I think they look better now, then when originally built.

    I was afraid that was the case. I happen to prefer them. :(

    It's nice to see someone rebuilding it. As for the questions asked about the tail lights. The corvette lights were added sometime later when the car was in Arkansas. I owned the car for about 3-4 years with out knowing the history on it until the last year I owned it. When I got the car it was not running & had no interior other then a dash. I bought it as a cool rat rod & later sold the car when I learned of its history so that it could be built back to original or close to the way stuckey had it. I did get stuckey to sign the glove box of the car so the history could stay with it.

    Looking good but I liked it better with the 39 lights, just a little slicker looking. IMO

    Looking SO much better! I too am glad someone is bringing it back and seems to have a good direction. I think Dave is smiling.

    The 40 front does not look right on that car.

    The chop creates the illusion, at least to my eye, that the hood runs uphill.

    Looking at the pictures I thought that a slight pie cut to the hood sides would make the lines flow better in the side view.

    Does that license plate indicate who the new owner is?
