    Man, this car looks killer, fabulous, period perfect - I could go on but I'm not that good a typist! I love the way you picked a theme and stuck with it - 1953 vintage (with a few exceptions).

    Write a book on this build, and I can guarantee every Hamb'er would buy it - it is just spot on!

    Miles of smiles to you!

    Well when it does get a bit nippy come on down to the CLT. I could use your expertise on putting my '35 together. It's almost laughable how stupid I look out there trying to put it together with no experience. It's the Idiot's guide to ****ing up a Hot Rod down here hahah!!!!

    Maybe I'll see you at the Jalopy Showdown Drags.....

    I'd like to it all depends if I can get a few guys to split the gas price for the trip. If I can do it for like less then a $100 then I just might. I really want to so I'll start pressing the idea hard with my friends.

    Oh I'm gonna drive it right through the winter, I just got some snow tires the other day!;)


    Kidding aside... It will likely be up for sale in the near future. Hopefully, the new owner will have to worry about that. If it stays in my posession for while, I have garage storage at my disposal for it's hibernation...
