    I posted on here about a year ago where I was about to start building my first hot rod. I wasn't able to start until this past October, but it's at the point where I have very little left to do on it. I've been driving it for a few weeks now and it is an absolute blast to drive. I have tons of pictures of the build process but here are a few of the finished project. I ended up having to s**** the Muncie 4-speed plan since my legs wouldn't fit with the shifter in the way, so had to pivot and went with a beefed up Powerglide that I rebuilt.

    Can't see any of your pictures. I tells me I don't have permission. Do I need a slip from my Mom?

    You’d think a degree in software engineering would help figure out how to post pictures on here. I think it works now?

    Great work. There’s always something else you can do on them. Good on you for doing something different
