    Steve, Stunning work! I hope you're gonna be wearing those pants this year!
    SO MUCH damn FLAKE, Bloody GREAT!:D
    So many great British cars due out this year, I think its' gonna be a GOOD Rod run season!
    Steve, your attention to detail is a bloody marvel!:D

    The brackets you made to mount those 37 Ford tail lights look awesome! I'm trying to figure something like that out to mount a set of mine on a 31 coupe. Any more info on those???

    James they are made from stainless bends and solid bar off cuts from my offcut bin plus of course lots of grinding and polishing :D

    I was trying to figure a way to use original 37 Ford stands, but yours look really good. Might have to borrow an idea or two.

    Thanks!

  11. What Steve hasn't said is that in addition to doing this work he is a busy and sought after rod builder in the UK. He is also always available to give help, advice and encouragement to newbies. Very nice bloke and one of UK Roddings stalwarts.

    Amazing work. But I'd be afraid to drive it, it looks so nice. Gary

    Coldwar, this might address the stability problem?

    your vision is beyond most that is for sure, if your aiming for 60's show rod with detail to the max you have acheived it. I could not build something to that quality ever, but I do enjoy watching someone who can. I'm too much a barebones basic kind of guy, but always marvel at those who can see the next level of detail. and it looks like you couldn't swing a cat in that shed.

    I am constantly amazed at the depth of talent on display on the HAMB.
    There are many clever people and you sir, are right up there.
    Always good to see a rocket engine instead of the usual SBC.

    Your workmanship is top notch all the way. I guess there is one little problem though. Everytime I close my eye's I still see that green. Beautiful!

    Thanks for your input mate, This car won't be seeing a trailer unless it breaks down. I appreciate your concerns but i've got it covered.

    I'm always happy to hear other builders thoughts, Nobody knows it all.
