    Congratulations!
    When I first got mine I could hardly wait to get it done. After a year and a half I have found I just love building it.
    Have fun man, take your time & keep us up to date on your progress.
    If you need anything (except $$) just ask.
    Good Luck,
    Manuel

    WOW! The 40 Standard Coupe is almost impossible to find with the original painted Standard headlamp doors and the chrome trim around the parklamp lenses intact.
    Does yours have the split back seat with jump seats hanging off the quarters (the business coupe) or the pull up from the bottom solid seat back with the trunk-like support the Standard coupe)?

    Either way, you have hit a homerun!

  12. Noah - glad your uncle finally decided to let it go - when did you say he bought it - wasn't it around Mansfield?
