    Are you going to use the over used cliche 32 grille? You should make an effort to keep it similar to original (how you got it).

    just looked at the photos of when you first got it. That thing is SWEET! What a cool old build. Keep it the way you got it and drive the heck out of it. Love the flathead.

    Dang! Great score. Swap the tires around so the bigger ones are in the rear call it done.

    Very cool. Very cool indeed.
