    an hour of time, a 53 stude hood, a cutoff wheel, a welder, and a twisted mind can result in some progress if you are determined..... ;)

  18. My names Jeff, and I'm an addict.

    I'm a build thread junkie, and while my drug of choice is Hot Rods, Kustoms still interest me a lot too, so....
    Imagine how strung out I am, waiting to see this come back up. :(:D

    Seriously though, I've been wondering what happened to this.
    Hope your back on it again, not sure I can handle any more withdrawal's:eek::D;)

    I like the fender coves, it works with the peak down the sides of the fenders. I like where this is heading.

    a little,,,,but nothing crazy...made a grille opening from two upper grille moldings from a 52 ford.....here is a photoshopped pic where i've added a rolled pan and a windshield,,,,,,and a drawing a friend of mine, lee goode did. he's captured the vibe of the car...i am in the process of converting my two car garage at the house to a shop. once that's done, i will really kick some ass on the car like i used to....tired of working outside and barely making progress....this car should have been finished long ago...........

    I really like the drawing. It's got nice clean lines. Not over the top.
