    image.jpg The most exiting day in my car life came when my project was part of Ryan's JJ article oct 2013. This was unexpected and incredibly motivating.

    I remember that Eric, very cool. Ryan replied on one of mine "I think I love this car". I still get giddy just about that one little comment. :)

    Is this what you are looking for??
    The wheel I got it off of was dry rotted, but there is a horn ring.
    P.m. for the price :D:D

    Late reply big A, sorry. i think the only way to get these crazy gaps to look good is to cut and weld. my doors are on my list of things to do. I plan to round the corners and weld the fenders to the cowl in the process.

    I have wanted to attend Autorama Detroit with a car of my own for many many years and this year I will. I will be in the basement at Cobo hall this spring with the old girl. I better get to work!

    Eric, the Detroit Autorama is a breath-taking experience for any spectator. Participating will be through the roof! Basement included!
    (When VooDoo Larry showed his Ford on the main floor with the Gene Winfield exhibit, he lamented NOT being in the basement with the flat-finished cars! True.)
