    looks like a really great stance and the windsheild chop and angle look good too!
    keep up the good work!

    Perfect stance on yer roadster. Its got a real prewar look. If it were mine which I wish it was I would go with a flathead or a 4 banger. I'm like sooo jealous.

    well im glad its finally getting built

    i know it will turn out sweet

    still would have liked to have done that trade for that coupe though,

    my plans were to put it on a set of pinched deuce rails, with a 5" kickup in the rear, drop axle, quick change,16" wires, dirt track tires front and rear, spun discs from Kevin Lee, 303 olds motor with 4x2's, deuce grill, hood with no hood sides, chopped and slanted stock windshield. . . . . a guy can dream cant he?

    let me know if you find another roadster body haha
     
  21. Tetanus would build a car with his girlfriend,if he kept one around long enough to take a shower!
