    I like everything about this build, especially the undropped front axle. Very nice work!

    The link is not working for me, YouTube says it's a private video. Bummer, I really wanted to hear it run.

    The last A on a 32 frame that I did at work had those same headlight/shock mounts on it. It came from Blackboard Hot Rods. I drilled a hole in the frame, the headlight mounting cup and the side of the hollow bolt and ran all the light wires through there. made it look nice and clean.

    Looks nice, and most of the sport coupes I've seen either had the door tops whacked off or a steel roof put in place, but I like that the sport coupe top will remain, looking forward to seeing that. What color will the top fabric be? Is it canvas?

    engine start up video should work now, i fixed a setting on youtube- cant say enough about how impressed I am with UNCLE MAX and his work- these carbs required nothing to get the car to run right, bolted them right on! I have a bad head gasket issue to work on now, I hope thats all it is anyways.

    It's looking great! I'm also a BIG fan of the Sport/Business coupes. Building a '40's version myself (very slowly...!) Mine has a banger and fenders though.

    WOW!!! That beauty is going to be a stunner when you get it finished. About now I would be frothing at the mouth waiting to get it done. Perfect color choice and I agree with your probable black selection for the top. Your build is going to be perfect for a high end car of the era you were aiming for.

    DROVE IT!!!! The feeling you get when you first feel a car you built from the ground up move on its own power is amazing.
