  17. It is very nice work indeed.

    I love to see someone who take the time to build one. There is just something about watching someone who has some skill put it together.

  21. You learn very well Sir. Do you use a straightening jig when you finish weld your rear axle brackets to prevent distortion?

    I made a clamping fixture to hold the ends in alignment, have some on the road with several thousand miles on them. I will have to take some pics of the process next time.

  28. Man, I got nothing against a plastic body. That is what my '34 three window is. Looks good and will make you a sweet ride when done.
