    Dude, this is INCREDIBLE. I am in the Chicago area as well, and working on my car over the winter as well, getting a 283 SBC and some more mild touches. Hope to see you around! Where in Chi are you?

  21. What a great job!!!! It's great to see the true Kustom scene has not been lost, choice of color should be awesome.
    Home inspired ideas always out way the mega buck shops in my eyes. Keep up the great work us old timers really enjoy this dedication.

    that area over the taillights looks like you could kill a person if you backed into them very hard. Nice car though. Going to get Mr. Winfield to paint it for you?
     
  26. Hide the ladies.....very cool. Any thoughts to something like expanded metal in the front of the scoop?
