    Couldn't agree more. The colors working/contrasting together is perfect. Simplicity at its finest.

    We're all different,but some times not by much. I love it,yet the unfinished inside,if left that way, would make me not a fan an unhappy about anyone that would think it was finished with out being done.
    Like I said,I love the outer look of the rod.

    Best part is that it has everything it needs, and doesn't have anything it doesn't need...

    There has never been a more exacting description of a hot rod!

    Wow. I dont know what to say. Im a pretty modest and quiet guy and not really use to any praise but it is greatly appreciated. My buddy texted me earlier and told me congrats on building the perfect av8 roadster, i thought he was fucking with me. And then he told me i need to go check out Ryan’s post. I was floored. I wanted to build something that a kid has been back from the war a couple years, some money in his pocket and the urge to build a hotrod. Picking the color was the toughest part. But it works. To me its timeless. The car is almost finished. I still have to put all the interior panels in and the toe board was out for me to adjust the clutch. Im also having a top made for it. I appreciate all the great comments, im stoked that people are as excited about it as i am. Thanks again Ryan

    the interior panels are being built and covered as we speak, the toe board is also back in. I was adjusting the clutch. I just couldnt wait to take some pictures and a little video.

    Thanks for sharing this Celebration of Hotrod @Ryan...

    @lodaddyo...congrats on this Milestone...I mean it doesn't get any better than having the Boss's stamp of approval that you nailed it...that is seriously high praise indeed and you did it for yourself...even better...

    Thanks for sharing your Vintage Inspiration with us and look forward to your continued efforts to close the chapter on 'done enough' and open the driven chapter which is unfolding as witnessed by your video...

    Having seen this car up close, its as good in real life as it is in pictures. Ryan is a top notch guy and has already helped me tremendously with my 33 build. Hopefully It'll be on the road soon and we can do a photo shoot with the two of them and more importantly take some cruises!

    Congrats Ryan! Awesome work!
