    here are afew of the things I've been workin on lately, putting a cad grill in shoes 52, and choppin a 41 ford for a customer out of bartlesville, that mickey hooked me up with. I know its not as refined yet, just getting started, so don't hack away too much, boys, just thought I would try to keep up with casney , and burkey.!!!

    The '52 looks killer, When we met ya for breakfest the other day, I almost had a wreck
    checking out the Chevy cruizin down the road. This has to be one of the best whack'd
    fastbacks that I've seen. The top is pure butter and has that is they way it should have
    been done from the factory look. The Caddy grill when finished will just compliment the
    rest of the build.

    I love '41 Fords and watching ya cut Roy's Ford was fun. I've seen a lot of in process
    chop tops and I never get tired of studying the difference it makes. Looking forward to
    the future progress.

    Keep on blessing kustoms with your talented kustom eye. your working on two very kool
    Kustoms to go along with the many to come out of your shop. I'm ready to go out and
    eat, I may need to go on a road trip.

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    Ya, I thought that you were going to round the corner to match the rest. I couldn't think
    of a better word to describe the window, tear drop was the best I had. By rounding the
    corner will just make it look kooler.....

    Happy Trails, Mick

    I like how you are blending the rear fender with the body. When did they start filing
    in the Gas hole door? Early or late fifties?

    Looking good Jeff! Jesse Lopez's '41 Ford coupe is in my top 5 cars Barris ever did. Actually, it's probably in my top 5 customs of all times list too!

    Shoe's car is looking rad, can't wait to see it done!
