    I don't know if you saw my thread on the Model A I had. It looked pretty bad when I got it,all rusted,whitewalls,red spokes,you know. I got tired of hearing,"nice Rat Rod!". I put some blackwalls and '40 steelies on it. Then painted it green and black. It looked pretty cool when I got rid of it....then the next owner sanded all the paint off! WTF!!!
    I like the way it looks. If you look for Cruzr's Coupe. His looks really cool now,after he started changing a few things.

    Good luck with it - I am partial to fenders, hoods and old 4 bangers myself but you need to build the car you want. Go for it and keep the pics coming!

    Where are you in Columbia? What is the school in the background? I get down there a fair amount painting, we should get up.

    You going to Run to the Sun? You could hook up with the Retarded Sparks and ride down.

    nice change, i liked it better with the fenders.. I think a set of chrome reverse or black steelies and black wall with fenders would have looked *****in.

    enjoy your ride

    If you plan on keeping the same small block, change to an air filter of some kind first thing. Running that stack will **** dirt into the engine and ruin the walls very quickly. Everything else can be done later.

    I liked it better with the fenders on it. But we all have our own opinions.
