    Mark,
    Your 29 Dodge rocks!!!, the front end is awsome, I would love to see it go down the drag strip. You have encouraged me to work on mine more and get my ass in the garage.

    Slow !!!, Summer in Wisconsin brings warm weather that we are not use to, Loving the outdoors.
    I have mocked up the rear fenders which I have to move up on the body line about 3" to compensate for the body channel, body and fender fitting before I get to the suspension to line up the tires and axle's.
    Going with fenders slowed me down, but I like the way its going now.
    Keep on dreaming some day it will be reality!!!!

    Been pretty busy last 6 months or so, but finally made a little progress, I made my own grille and fan shroud, still need to send the stainless pieces out for polishing and then do final assembly, the shroud still needs some detail work but its close...

    Merry Christmas Mark!!!
    Wow, I love the grill and "Fire Power" in the shroud.
    I just got a 29 Essex grill shell all original with the movable louvers for my
    29 dodge. Need to make one louver and get them working.
