    Here's what I've been up to for the last three years... The whole thing came from one junk pile or another or a swap meet except for the small stuff, gauges, rebuild stuff, alternator, new grille shell and grille, etc. The metal for the deck lid actually came from the dumpster of a local body shop.

    That is a REAL hot rod! Awesome job. Love the Flathead. Never yank it out, never go the SBC route. It is a great rod, the most traditional rod I have seen of late.
    Sweet.

    I think photobucket.com actually wants real money for the big pic's. I only took the freebe option. No matter what I do they come out small. I'll find a way to make them bigger soon enough! :cool:

    Thanks a lot. I'm trying for some bigger pic's now. Oh yea. The suede green is an etching primer in a spray can ($3.99) from O'reillys Auto Parts. Must be the Irish influence.
