    This Olay guy.....I tried to pay him for some wheels he had. Wouldn't let me. But he did force me to take the wheels. What a talented jerk ;).

    Wish I had some updated pics of the sedan, but its disassembled right now and getting ready to start the body work. He has not gotten much done because he was sick for awhile, and has been busy building yard art and wagons and cushmans. Priorities... lol!

    Heres some pics

    I just left John's place. That scooter yard art is an old Harley Hummer frame that I had setting outside for 30 or so years. He had that thing built in a couple of days. Gary, the 34 2 dr sedan that John is working on now is mine. He told me to look you up here. Man, his work is outta-site!

    I dont have any updates, I know he has been working on a few projects for other people and is just in the process of doing bodywork. The car is completely disassembled as of right now.

    When I can get some pics for an update I will though!

    Not the best though, they are all turned out dark. I will have to get some better ones, the body is on the frame now since these pics.

  15. Thanks, will be nice, real nice. Once of course he tosses those fugly spark plug looms ;). Yes, I can find fault even with this amazing car, 30 buck blister pack looms seem like the lazy way out.

    Finally some more pics, he took a break from other peoples cars and got back to work on his.
    Notice the stainless trim rings he made for the wires too, 17" front and widened 18" on the rear.
    Check it out,

    wow-that's really turning out nice
     
  25. Nice chop & stance!
    Definately a winner!!:cool:
     
  26. I really like the appearance and stance of this car. It's uncommon for me to really like a car of this style, but I think it's because most of them are left unfinished and forgot about the end of how an attitude can REALLY show.
    Congrats on turning my head and having a nice car build.
    I'm not saying I like all of it, but it's a nice change in a car of this build style.
    Push forward with YOUR car build and be happy too!
