    Very nice. How do you stay focused on a project for that long? I can't imagine having 14 years into a car and not drive it! Great looking car!! Congrats!!

    Took more photos today and delivered the car to Dave at Ridgefield Auto Upholstery HAMB Member tackspitter. Got to meet Pete HAMB Member petew while were there, and looked at photos of his T that Dave finished a few months ago.

    Got to see it in the flesh at the upholstery shop. It 's one of those cars that you have to look at for quite a while to take in all of the details . Truly an outstanding ride. Love the nailhead motor, it ain't no belly button car that's for sure. Nice to finally meet you Bob

    Looking very nice, love the nailhead..............:cool:

    Would love to put one in the Vette...:D That would shake up the NCRS boys..:eek:



     
  26. Bob must be taking the photo, the master craftsman on the phone is Dave, owner of ridgefield upholstery, and the fellow showing off his better side is Frank, the owner of that gem.

    Dave is about a year younger than me, and I'm rarely seen with a phone. Note the nerf bars just ahead of the rear tires, they are great assist bars when you need to get up off a creaper. Half the bluewalls got swept away in the rain on the trip down on the trailer, giving a flamed or scolloped effect. Not sure if the trend will have a long shelf life. Working on Franks Roadster has been fun, someday I'll make some progress on mine.
     
  28. Can't wait to see this one in person!
