    Congrats, Rich. That's a big step. I've been following your progress in pics and in person. I've been over bugging Mike, too.

    Keep us updated. It looks great.

    After some welding and minor fabrication to the frame we put the body on the frame again complete with the firewall. Now the front floor needs to welded in and the steering column installed.

    I sense that lots of others agree with the different, "unchopped" look. Add me to that list. The coupe is looking good.

    I would have photoshoped you out but I didn't know how:D:D Here is a current shot of with the frame painted (thanks to 47 Tudor Guy) and parts getting hung on it. The body should be back on it by the end of the week.

    Looks like you're amassing quite a nice collection of cars there Rich. If you ever need a volunteer to stretch their legs a little, don't hesitate to call me. Seriously the new ride is gonna be sweet. Add me to the no chop camp, it will stand out in a crowd. Hope to see you guys this summer its been a while.

    LOL. I hear you. I would have done it if I were you too! :)
    It's looking good. I was over there Monday night and helped Jim with some of the assembly. It's getting close!
     
  24. Exactly. Looks great!

    I just finished installing a Juliano's top kit on it. It is a really nice kit and a big improvement over the old chicken wire stuff while maintaining the original look.
