    Josh came over tonight and helped me set the body on the frame. I have some modifying to do but it will work out I think. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1427337832.530065.jpg

    Tractor shells can be tough to get to look right but that one certainly has potential. You could run some masking tape lines back to the cowl and get a good idea how it flows with the car and jives or does not jive with your vision. I wouldn't try to section it with all the lines it's got going on; I'd be inclined to hog out some material from the bottom and get it over the spring and axle a couple inches or so.

    I had the wide fives left over from my 28 so that's what I'm running. This car is all built from cast offs from other projects. Might even use that hood I got from you.shush don't tell.

    Steal a shelf out of your refrigerator and make a verticle bar insert for that grill shell- it looks pretty tasty just the way you've got it sitting there. Excellent work- you're cookin' now!---- Watch out N.J.!!!! , serious "Torrnados" in the forecast!!

    Had to rework the rear bones to gain more frame clearance for the suspension without raising the car.Josh Fredette and I made up some brackets and cut up an A drag link . I'll have to figure out some new shock mounts but other wise am pretty happy with the outcome . ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1428185882.604930.jpg
