    Thank you guys for your great comments:).

    There is some little troubles on the car that i must fix to drive it correctly, and to definitly say: it's time to pick up chicks, and take pictures of the gorgeous french girls on the passenger seat.....and post beauties here ;)

    The results of the trials, is..... the car drive strait, and stop well, the brakes are very powerfull. No noise inside, everything is ok, execpt the hard steering, not easy to park without power steering, but it's ok, i take proteins ;).

    The troubles now:( i need to check maybe the water pump, the temp is too hot, but first, i need to change my radiator, i know about 2 years that the radiator in the car was completly rotten, and i have bypass somes internaly tubes.....not a good solution for a normal use....i waiting a good used one.
    I need to fix the gearbox command shifter, the 4th speed is hard to find, too much linkage slack, i'm waiting parts....

    i have a little bit scrape the primary exhaust tube, the car is too low on the front....i think the problem will be fix when i can buy a real pair of whitewall tires. I know that my actual tires are not the good choice, but it's ok for technical control with that modern low (ugly) profile tires.

    Stay tuned.....i know...you want girlsssss:cool:

    I like your design and skill level,
    but I personally would put 1956 Chevy tailite lenses in where the Cadillac's prevail,
    or I would cut the back half off the Cad lenses and tuck them in. They are just "to much"

    I complety agree about the Cad Lenses, i know they are too much, and placed too out....in fact when i have received them, i knew that i wanted to see a little the bezel ring outside the body...i totaly assume the result, it look like a Spoutnik!;)......the problem is, if you see now a kind of Leadsled (thanks for your compliment:)) the Fregate is a small car, and US tailights cars are too big, and the easiest choice was the 59 Caddy lenses......but i'm agree with you, but for my Renault, i like this "too much style";) .
    Let me drive and use my car like this (i'm waiting about 3 fuckin' years!!!!:p), and in 1 or 2 years, i made the 2.0 version, with a better rear look;)

    I think it's time to show girls with Lowrange:cool:;););)......they like to touch the 59 dildo:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
