    Congratulations Dave! Your Shoebox definitely deserves it. Stopped me in my tracks when I saw it parked on the side road near the Santa Maria Inn.

    Doug, Jeff, Comet, and Jason, thanks for the Kudos guys! Chris (Shelton) did a fantastic job with the Feature. There was thunder and rain happenin about 5 miles away when he shot it, we were lucky. - Dave

    Yeah Mr. York, your car is saWEET! Congrats on the ink and I hope I get to see it in person someday- I've got all of the build pics from Rikster's site on my computer now for referencing when I get to start my shoebox build... It'll borrow a few elements from your car and a few from that Swede Andreas... NICE!
     
  13. What can ya say. That's a gorgeous car.
     
  14. Yes, Kudo's to a guy I call a friend. I was impressed by the write up (Great job Chris) Those damn Kanucks are crafty fellows. I know a few and they are all the same. Good job Dave. Congrats.

    Hotrods are supposed to look like they're going 80mph when they're standing still. Customs are supposed to look like they're standing still at speed. Believe me, this car does just that.

    Nice car. My experience in body work is not significant enough to understand the explanation of the work on the front fenders/headlights. Could someone explain how it was done or sketch the lines, or something? Thanks for being patient.
