    Kenny had a blow out in the 32 on the way home. Got lucky, just the tire.

    I'm guessing that is Kenny's car. I sold him a rear spring for it and he sent me this pic.

    I have to say man...This car has changed my whole out look on hot rods! I've always been a drag strip oriented hot rod guy. The Austin Mangler is one of my all time favorites! But over the last year or so since I started watching this build, I've started to look into the show rod style. This one of my favorite builds period. Its been awesome watching it come together and seeing you're vision. You have me looking at certain parts in a whole different way. Any how needless to say my short list of cars/styles to build has grown by one more watching this!
    Keep it up, can't wait to see it in paint.

    Thanks man! Appreciate it. I can tell you The mangler is one no bullshit hot rod. You can pick it out 3 blocks away.

    You too man! Can't believe you drove it here. Awesome!

    No visor. Dunno why exactly, just feels right.

    Gracias!

    I saw that motor! Badass! Once you go Lac, you never go back! (sorry):)

    Did you have to use a u joint on the steering shaft? I remember you switched boxes, but I never saw pictures of the finished steering setup. Car looks great.
