    :)Thats How I feel. I sold my fed about 3 weeks ago, and heard about a 31 model a roadster about the same time. About a mile from the house. Not a car anyone knew about. Well after a looksee,we could not come to terms on just the body. In the next week he was out of town and I was told he probably wouldn't sell. Today he calls and says its for sale complete. ok, I just need to sit in it. I did,and its perfect for me. I have a riley automotive frame that I have been working on for the past 3 weeks, thats just about ready to roll. I know pics, will try to get some fri,or sun when the car comes home. This is a good find. Told the wife, a plastic surgeon couldn't wipe the grin off. 70 yrs old and still want a roadster.yehaa:):):D

    That's a beauty! Wheels & shell make it a 'jewel', still very cl***ical.

    Got the new frame on the ground this w/e, and today cranked the 90 chevy eng for the first time in about 4 yrs. The roadster is a late 31 deluxe. Will be getting patch panels starting next w/e.
