    We'll have to have a garage night when it's ready to fire.This is the first time it's been outside in quite awhile. I'm on the short side of 5'6",the car looks small.

    I'm about to finalize the radiator placement and tight is an understatement.This thing could be running real soon.How do you like the rear caps? :D:D;)

    I wish,as soon as it's running and I see that it drives straight it's back apart for paint.If I start having fun in bare metal I'll have trouble finishing it this year,and I want to start on the 32 chevy coupe this winter.

    I don't think thats pizza I smell? Brother it just keeps amazing us. Sweet work on that clutch cylinder, if there is anything wasted, it ain't space. The rear discs are outstanding. It is very exciting to see some final like touches going on. Can't wait to hear those mello-tones, sounds like a name for a cool band. Thanx for the updates!! ~Sololobo~

    Think the radiator finally found it's sweet spot.I have to get the hoses sorted out.All the fluid systems,brakes, clutch, fuel,and cooling will then be hooked up.:)

    After I got as far as I could without putting the body back on for clearance check ,have to wait for help.I worked on the grill surround.I put primer on it for contrast.It's made out of steel.

    I don't do photoshop.I cut this out with scissors and taped it together.Sorry

    Your a genius. I love it. Also, I def agree it looks like it jumped off a grand prix poster from the 30's. This is true art imo.

    KILLER! Really digging it. But the color ideas you show just dont do it for me. I feel I want it, chrome or the original metal with clear coat. Tough choice to make. Really cool car. Slim
