    I had a few pals from work stop by after we got out this morning to help me lift my roadster body onto the new ch***is I built for it. I've been waiting for two and a half years for this moment and to say I'm stoked is an understatement:D. Nothing is bolted down or shimmed, just set in place but its pretty close and you get a good idea of the at***ude of the car. I still have to narrow the gap between the headlights, reposition the aprons, and rework the windshield but I think I should be okay as far as meeting my Autorama deadline. Anyways I have to get some sleep I'm working overtime tonight but I don't know if I'll be able to knowing this ****er is sitting in my garage.

    Thanks Chris, not sure yet. I may just leave it a lone, I have apretty cool old accessory Model A gauge cluster that I could hog out to fit 1940's style gauges. I also have a really nice 36 dash but that's what I have in my sedan. So, who knows?
