    Hello all,
    My name is Brett and I have been plugging away at my chop
    by myself since November. All is going good cant wait to get
    her on the road its getting close. I'm currently working on
    the inner doors, front ones done back still go. finish up a
    little body work then its off to the paint booth.
    So what do you guys think?

    Nice job!! Looks much better, good lines. What are the wheel covers you have on the car--they look great.

    Here is a little about my car. I'm running the original flathead that i rebuilt myself, its has all stainless valves, dual springs and adjustable lifters. By far the best improvement was putting in the T5 trans in. If you want to run a stock engine its definitely the best way to go and its pretty easy to do. I run the stock drum brakes but I did change out the master cylinder to a GM dual type. The chop is 6" in the front and 8" in the back. I should have the paint done by end of the month and I have done everything myself and I really mean myself not having friends do the work while I watch but I have one person that does give me a hand when I need an extra set of hands

    On a night when I am real bored it seems I get further into the pages, and something catches my eye, and then after I post I realize, its from 2005... Thats the only thing I can think of....
