    Congratulations Mark on the body and build. I know both Jeff and Marcy are awesome and have some bitchen goodies . It's awesome that your building another roadster your last one was killer.

    Quick question.... I tried assembling the front end and my Possie super slider spring seems to be a tad wide where as so tight I can't fit it in between the spring perches which are 35" center to center. Is there a smaller spring or will I have to buy a different axel?

    At Jefferson, I Got me a "Spicer" aluminum driveshaft with the correct tranny output yoke... New U-joints... For $40. I'm stoked... This is an easy 1/2 grand set-up!

    Plus I picked up a set of inside door latches. I bought some other stuff but I can't remember what?

    Photos later

    Well life's getting in the way again... My engagement... Followed by our decision to move to Texas!

    So I checked on a few Builders to see what their schedules looked like and it was a tough decision to choose.

    Bobbleed built the perimeter frame and I loved the work he did on my last roadster and I called him to see if he could get me in this June but his schedule has him deep into other projects.

    Well I've been horse trading with a young man the past few months that recently started his own fab shop... Most know him as Von Hartman on the HAMB and on Instagram well we got to talking and we worked out a deal. He wrote up a contract with a time frame and we agreed upon it thus making me his first official customer!

    Hoping to flog this one at Mokan as well!

    We're hoping for Georgetown... Cedar Park... Huto... Or Round Rock areas...

    We'll see where the opportunities collide!
