    nice looking sled
     
  2. Its nice to see a car that is called a taildragger by the owner and it actually has a stance to match the name. There are a lot of people these days getting that mixed up.

    Thanks all. The Merc insert is from a Merc. The bumpers are 41 Cad. The hubcaps are 49 -51 chromed stainless repops. I hope to get the front done in the next couple of weeks.

    Thanks guys. Still have to do the front of the hood its just cut off and the latch is remounted. I would have drove it home today but I left my keys at the house. Starting tomorrow it will be the daily driver.

    Great flow to the top and i like the rear fender extensions as well. Your front end treatment fits with the total look of the car. Well done! I vote for the Pontiac front fender extensions, they would fit with the rest of the look.
