    Oh, Wait, I know the answer to this! He is going to work on it until it is almost ready to drive on the street and then sell it.

    What do I win?

    Looks pretty cool, what motor is that?

    That's looking pretty cool!
    You know, rusty buick skylark wheels can be sandblasted and painted to look pretty good, and are 5" bolt circle.....

    I think the long rear fenders would be a nice look; Have you considered shaving the hump off the rear and blending the sloping roofline into the rear fenders.

    similar to what "The Cisco Kid" did to this Terraplane.

    a little progress? last week. did some work to the dash. center gauge. did some inner rocker work after the channel. started to fit the hood and sides. they are from an early nash. not sure on the grill yet. maybe bar grill or a solid aluminum with holes punched.


    ya I know the runs in the primer look great! all primer isnt the same....

    That nose really makes the car. It would be interesting what you come up with for a grille. You guy's should hear how well those doors shut on this stude, I'm friggin jealous;). later shawn
