Congrats to you too. It was the first award I won ever! As reclusive as I am it's nice to see people digging my ideas. I just kind of throw work...
Thanks, Stogy. This little project has done wonders to get me out and about again. It's hard to imagine where I would be without it.
I've been a bit more active on Instagtam so many may have seen my updates or pics throughout the summer. I've done a few small things to the car...
Thanks. It's one of the fave parts I had in my stash.
Done tastefully and correctly I see no issue with a tribute or recreation car being the car snob I am but yeah, it should be done correctly if you...
Thanks, Jeff. I'm glad I made it out finally!
Thank you! Thank you! Got about 60 miles on her getting to know how it feels on our crappy roads. Can't wait to put some shocks on it....
Good looking coupe. I wish mine was a 29. I prefer the earlier cowl but this one will do. Hahaha, thanks. What's funny about it is the square...
Thank you, Stogy. Less initial bugs to chase than my T coupe, and I'm starting to get more comfortable with every drive. It is a great feeling. Oh...
Still a bunch to do and I'd really like to rebuild the steering box. It has way too much lash but I started driving the little bastard and can't...
Thank you. I greatly appreciate the kind words. Looks like I'm going to finally make the sins of steel show next week!
How she looks today after some more polishing and finished lettering. I chose my Grandmother's maiden name "Fike" because I felt the rear quarter...

Thanks, man. I don't mind at all. In fact, I was kicking around an idea like that and need to install the hood!
Now that the weather has broke and I have a lot of time on my hands I've been quite busy on the car in an effort to finally make it to a sins of...
Spring has finally sprung here in Michigan! Gotta say it feels good to start working instead of sitting around thinking about the car. About 30...
My hardcore lowrider friends use to say "no bags, no switches, no fat bitches" [emoji4]
So much fun for sure! I have a small stash of roadster parts and would love to build an old race car one day. Maybe after I sort the coupe out...
Thanks, and yeppers. I found a few examples of them on the big trucks. I wasn't sure at first but, it does line up to the mounting tabs on the rad...
I typically spend a lot of time sitting around looking at a new project before I really dig in with tools. Making decisions or planning my attack...
Damn. That's a lot of moving! If I left this state I would go somewhere warmer. I loathe winter.
