    My '30 Durant is coming along... 3" chop and rough spot welds here. I still need to finish weld the rear doors shut and get rid of the rear hinges. I just got a posi 10 bolt Cad rear end today. Getting wheels tomorrow to set ride height so we can get started on the frame.

    That thing is turning into one slick hot rod. I didn't see the vision when you first started (cookie cutter is my middle name:)) but every time you post progress I'm left hanging on the edge of my seat wanting to know what your going to do next.
    Did I mention I like your progress reports?:rolleyes::)
