    I wondered where you were. Keep positive.
     
  3. Billy, great to see an update, I was thinking of your build last week when I was reading the Oct. '53 Honk magazine which has a feature on the ex-Calori roadster. Have you made the hood and sides yet?

    I will echo what others have said and add the roadster has a timeless look.

    This car reminds me of a image I saw years ago of a sailor's roadster. HRP

    4 years is a long time. Mine's been apart for 20+ now, but there were 2 divorces in the interim.

    Congrats on getting it together.
