    The Phaeton looks great...good to see it on the road!!! It went to the right guy, that body would probably still be sitting in my shop gathering dust.

    The guys @ Mid-West Fab did a Fabulous job on the Tub! You even received a open car baptismal on your 1st weekend out!!!!!!!
    My brother had one some time back and it was passed along several times on the HAMB, the last time I saw it in person was at our PRC-RR, I believe that it had been sold some time after. Congrats, and have fun tearing up the streets in your hometown!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow man I dont know how I missed this! I noticed your avatar was different but never considered you were building another car! Just went through the thread and I have to say that this is completely bad ass! The wife and I went to Roundup on Sat for a few hours, she was about to pop (9 mnth preg) so we couldnt stay long but damn I wish I had seen this sooner so I coulda checked it out....

    Anyway, great job, maybe see you next year....btw, what happend with the truck?

  8. Thanks man! Its been a blast so far! Most of all Congrats on the little one!

    We swapped house with my parents a couple weeks ago, we move a little further out to the country back to the house i grew up in and things have been crazy. I lost my shop in the swap, but ill build another one one day. The new place has a 3-car garage that'll do for now. Ive still got the pickup, it is just on the back-burner right now. Ill probably start back up on it this fall if things settle down. Ive gotta get some remodeling stuff squared away first. I hope to make next years roundup, if so... Ill look you up.

    Heres a couple pics from this past weekend. Got the car out and cleaned it up. Put some good country miles on her and then took my wife and son across town to steak and shake for burgers and shakes. Had to run from a thunderstorm on the way back home that evening. Best day ever!

    Like your tub, you have more leg room in it than a roadster , what tie size did you end up with? I have a 29 tub I bought it from the Greek in Jamestown and love it.

  15. I (we) have had so much fun with this little hot rod this year. We did the Louisville NSRA nats and the frog follies most recently. A bunch more miles without a hitch. The most enjoyable times for me are just the trips out through the country near my house though! There's just something healing about the open side pipes bellowing through a cornfield!

    The only real issue that has come up being the T spring has settled again and I need a couple more leaves. You guys like pictures right?

    I've really enjoyed following your thread with your really cool tub. Thanks for posting. Watching for further updates.
     
  21. I think you have set a new standard for tubs. Buy the way does mom get to drive the tub?
