    The license plate guard is off of a '49 Chevy, I got this one from a friend but Chev's of the 40s reproduces them for a pretty fair price.

    I'll take some pictures of the skirts next time I have them off :)

    Eventually I will for sure, and on my next project I want to buy an all original car and go through the entire car myself, building yet another late 40s era custom..

    I love this '46 so much.. but I already have wandering eyes... ;)

    That being said, I wont move on to another until this car is completely finished and THOROUGHLY enjoyed!

    I'll post a few pictures in a few minutes, I'm having trouble figuring out my new phone.

    This morning I polished the car and checked all the fluids, getting it ready for a 400 mile round trip to San Fransisco tomorrow..

    Geez, this car deserves a break :)
