    if any one i the Portland OR area there is one of those big firestone signs in the basement of the powell blvd store that is just collecting dust and could probably go to a good home. the manager is pretty laided back

    I have thought about motorcycle fenders, but in that "That would be cool but I aint gonna do it" sorta way.

    I have roof pieces laid out on the garage floor right now, along with some pretty sinister thoughts. The little devil is on my shoulder saying "Do it, Paul, Take 5 inches out right now!"

    The little angel is on the other side saying "Take out 6 you fucking pussy!"

    Piero, when are you kicking off your roadster project? It sounds like you better start soon because

    A- Your mentioning ideas like Motorcycle fenders

    B- Your engine is now in Dreddy's Coupe

    C- The rest of your car just went to Washington so Chris can put a 4 banger in it and knock the shine off that car.

    Cool, get going and move already. I can wait to see it come together when you Bob and a few others all live in the same city!!!

    If you were a real friend you would let Paul run the Nailhead until his Caddy is rebuilt.

    Nice score!!! When I got mine it was tore down and everything looks beautiful. I am probably going to do a stock rebuild on it or just freshen it up before it finds it's way to the car. A Caddy and a Flathead are my favorite engines but with this Caddy I am trying to take more of a restoration approach to it. I want it to appear relatively stock engine inside my '54 Chevy.

    But looking at yours now makes me want to sell my Rocket that I was going to put in the '35 and start looking for a 331 Cad. They are just plain old rad.

    Can't wait to see some updates besides Darth Vador passing out from Mad Dog 20/20's in your coupe!

    Every time I think EVERYTHING'S rusted down (at least east of the Mississippi), somebody STILL makes a '20s or '30s car WORK!!! What dedication!

    Scooter, you are RIGHT: There IS talent and determination in this sport! IT SURE AIN'T DEAD OR FLAT !!!

    It make my back hurt just thinking about it!
