    Just picked up a steel '24 / '25 T body. I'm currently trying to sell my '64 Comet so I can get some funds to build a shop this Fall, then get started on my Hot Rod build in Spring.

    Still the same here,Ive put a few miles on it and enjoyed it as is this summer after getting it on the road.
    I like it as is but I think it would look good hugger orange like this one with my wheels and stance for a 70s look.
    So as the old timers say (I need to get a second wind) if Im goin to paint:rolleyes:

  25. Want to get my '29 Chevy running with the original 6-cylinder by spring, drive it like that for a season then install my 327/th350 Ford 9" rear and '40 ford juice brakes next year. I have all the parts, I just don't have the time for the full scale hop-up right now and I want something to drive next summer!
