    Thank you! You have to question the sanity of going through all the labor of chopping a car when it isn't obvious in the end that it has been chopped. I think that is a big reason so many cars end up with more extreme (and some might say less visually appealing) chops.

    You´ve done a great job on this car. Just beautiful!
    I dig the grill! With your skillset in metal fab you could make polished stainless moldings to sit on the grill bars, just to break it up a little. I agree, full chrome would be too much, but a little jewlery here and there might be fine!

    Thank you! The photos in the shop are poor. I'll get some better photos this weekend.

    Thank you! The grill bar shell moldings are definitely an upcoming project.

    After pouring through your post, I am left gobsmacked with the skillcraft you have mastered throughout this journey . Owning a 46 Tudor I have followed your path closely.
    Thank you so very much , since it has helped me while away my time laying on my back in the hospital wishing I was in the shop with you.

    Thank you - that means a lot. I hope you are out of the hospital soon and back in the shop and back behind the wheel of your 46. I've built all different kinds of cars over the years, but this was the 1st full custom. It was the most work of any car and made me appreciate that much more every custom I see.
