    13 months of work, got my radiator yesterday and installed it last night. It's like month 8 of all 3 of my sons in Jenn's belly...I'm very excited, it's beginning to come together.
    If I had someone that I could turn over the bidy and paint work to, I could possibly have this bad boy on the street this summer.
    No, it's not finished, I still have a air cleaner scoop to fab, as well as all the plumbing, glass, etc.

    Just wanted to share my long months of blood, sweat and beers with you all.

    Maybe it should have stayed in the dark.And like BLACK MAGIC it would have gotten finished.

    You nailed it.......in more ways than one !!! :D

    I'm lusting after that ride - it's drop-dead beautiful and with a nailhead to boot !! Ab-so-lute-ly perfect, IMHO.

    I'm seriously diggin' your ride. I love the stance.

    Doc.
     
  24. I still think the shortened 1/4 panels make the car. No, wait! The nailhead engine absolutely makes the car....no! It's the stance and wheels and tires that make that car..
    Hmmmmmmmmm, I guess all the stuff together makes the car. Love it

    Man, car looks great, real nice work! Its always great to see them out in the sun finally, instead of the cramped garage or shop.

    On a side note, who made your radiator? I'm having one built for my sedan, was just curious what you used.

    Keep it up, this is Hamb car that I actually have a chance of seeing too, since you're in Florida

    You've got a lot of talent. I really like the length and the stance is right on.
