    Nice interior, neat steering wheel.
    Love the black and white photo!
    Lower the back 2 or 3 inches and it will be perfect.

    That car is awesome, I wouldn't change a damn thing.. Except maybe a roof and some paint, but even then I still like it in the brown..

    Thanks for the response... The OSB is temporary, just what I had in the garage and needed a floor before the Lucky Bastards reliability run! I did however prime and paint the sides, top and bottam..

    Here are a few more pics from a photo shoot up here for the new David Perrry book "Hot Rod and Pin-ups 2" out now so I don't think he would mind! These were prior to the V8, juice brakes etc. update.

    Jim, in the pic of the dash and steering wheel ( great wheel by the way ) I'm just curious, under the left hand end of the dash what is the rod hanging down with the little black ball on it? That car is very cool.
    Thanks, Mike

    That is my turn signal switch...
    I wanted turn signals but didn't think that it looked right on the column so I took one of those generic turn signal switches apart, welded two little studs to the backside of the dash mounted it and there you have it!!

    thanks again,
    Jim
