    Very nice car. I like the color. what is the color called, and paint brand?. The color looks close to mine. by the way where did you find the outside mirror, I have been trying to find one similar, but not having much luck.

    I was expecting a more cramped floor due to the engine set back into the firewall, but that looks pretty good from here. Excellent choice in motors!

    You do realize a 3" chop on a Tudor and a 3" chop on a coupe will be different?

    That A is PERFECT! So simple and understated. Love the wheel tire combo.

    didn't use the stock gas tank. Used a Tanks Inc tank, one of the few modern things on the car

    I picked up the mirror at a swap meet. It's an old mirror not newer repo. The paint is original Henry colors. It's 2 tone Elkpointe green and Kewanee green.
