    The ghost has changed a little. Since most of you have seen it last. I have added a aluminum front nose and belly pan. And the guys at Creative Customs added paint. That is the same shop that painted Plowboys Atomic Punk bubble top show rod. For the body I bought some .050 3003 aluminum and made the front nose and belly pan.

    Now some lettering and gold leaf strips. I picked the number 22 because, Tom Masa's dragster was number 22. His car was Zorba the Greek.

  12. W:eek:W! That is so perfect. I didn't think I could like your project more than I already did. That really inspires me to get a paint job on my Willys rather than run it in primer. Awesome body! That is really a car to be proud of. I hope other HAMBers know how this build got started, such a cool story.

    I have to agree, I didn't think your car could get any better. When I opened the thread I thought "How Cool" it would be to polish the aluminum then I saw the PAINT:eek:.............it KICKS ASS! Rocky
