    Would one of the bugs be in the bug seats? Looks like a fun ride.

    yes-they're both early 60's--I have a 63 soft top which I had these seats for but I think they found a better home

    I guess I started on it about 5 years ago when I traded a couple of cases of beer for the frame rails and trailer-Ed found me a sedan body in Mo--my original plan was to build a tub out of it but I sorta like the roof,I do want to put a hood on it

    Looks like what I'm planning for my 29 Sedan. 32 rails, unchopped, etc.....

    Where's your fuel tank located?

    right now there is a 3 gallon boat tank behind the driver seat but I'm thinking of a custom made unit to fit the contour of the rear body

    I'm hoping to find a place under the sedan to hide a 12 gal tank, but that may not work........
