Projects My “ Full Circle” coupe. First car I ever bought at 15 in 1965, and may be the last?

    Hey Mike !!!
    So awesome to see you got a '40 after all these years and it looks great. I do have one question, you put a Olds engine in it right?

    Finally got the rear pan back. Still some fitting to do, but getting close!

    I took the ridged foam off the garage door last week! It’s warming up and I wanna CRUISE!
    Still got snow on the ground, but not for long. View attachment 5011286

    Then on to the ‘34...... the next “last one”.

    Mike, how was the Custom/Hotrod experience in 22...the 40's a stunner. Are you making a 34 delivery with the Kroil altitude? Below I've done a what if of the Coupe...hope you like it...
