    Great looking start. I love 28-29 roadsters on 32 rails. It's definitely on my Cars Bucket list

    Thanks guys for all the complements!

    Got lucky on this one. Only one small dent and zero rust.

    Funny, I don't really get tired of looking at '29s. Seems more guys get the '28-'29 right than get the '32 right.

    Looks yours will be one more on my "done right" list.

    Jeez don't know how you guys do it. Barn finds, fields full of cool stuff to fix up. Lucky, lucky folk, don't know how good you have it. Nice to know your living the dream and able to find the stuff you love. One day i hope to be able to do the same, lucky bugger!!!

    Enjoy (like you won't)

    Ok, here are some more updated shots. Could not get them to load yesterday. I know the headlights are messed up. Just trying to figure out what to do with them.

    A couple more updates. The 15 min temp seat, hood mock up, and raised the rear for more rake.

    Aw come on guys Im 6'1" and I made this thing fit me. Tons of leg room and my shoulders are under the top of the body line. I use a few of Alex's (metalshapes) and Jeff's (Nimrod) tricks to create more room. The final seat will get me even lower.

    So it can be done.
     
  30. Well that's pretty cool. I went and looked at a coupe kit once and it was a kit or maybe jig saw puzzle would be a better discription. A pile of body panels waiting for someone with a welder and an imagination.

    Your kit is way better than the coupe kit I found.
