    Sweet build Steve. You even managed to get the steering on the correct side.

    There are quite a few one off hand made pieces on the car , nothing too trick , trying to keep the traditional feel , not radical or "faddy" just the nicest 32 roadster I could put together , using an original body , metal finished & reliable ,most of all fun to drive which this is a LOT of fun.

    LOVE the car! I oozes class. Could you share any pics of the interior/engine compartment?

    I am happy to see that a roadster without 35" billet wheels will be at the GNRS.

    Ok Kookie as you asked so nicely, no carpet in the front just mats , no firewall cover either , I drove it this way 4000 miles & it was fine & I like the clean "reveals all " look .I don't know how long the white leather will stay white the way I drive but hey ho.

    Hey Steve, looks great. I can't wait to get it ready for the show. It's very exiting to see all the hours of hard work that we have in the car come to fruition. Seeing that car under the lights at the show will be spectacular. I'll see you later.

    I like this car a lot. Of what I've seen from you over the years, it's the nicest car you've built.

    Maybe some subtle gold pinstriping?

    Tell us about that speedometer. I'm not the only one who wants one.

    Thanks Dave,The" secret" on the speedometer it's a 1939 Ford (By Stewart Warner) re calibrated & screened to match the SW 2 5/8 gauges, nothing too high tech or expensive (trendy) I thought it was simple but classy & the proportions match .I've used as much Genuine Ford Products on the car , the ash trays are 50 Mercury (rear).We have several thousand hours in the original Ford Body !! even the grill bars & hood tops are original.
