It looks great!
This one of my grandson makes me smile. He’s working on buzzing the paint off the 39 a little at a time. [ATTACH]
That’s spot on man.
Anthony is correct in that most of them only get driven occasionally, but I’ve seen video of JF Launier (the guy who built the green fastback...
Looks like a quality piece.
Make sure you have good grounds. I’ve seen a lot of strange things over the years due to a poor ground.
Dang, that’s pretty slick.
I didn’t know that. I’d always been taught toe in and toe out. Never stop learning.

Hahaa, I got caught up in their sales presentation and bought one of those kits several years back at the Nat’s in Louisville. It makes a neat...
That is one cool little hot rod.
Hey, making progress. Way to go!
It’s a long shot, but thought I’d ask if anyone might recognize what brand these might be. I haven’t seen many with the rear rod end welded on...
Awesome man! I’d bet you’re getting excited now to finish her. Looks great.
Thanks for sharing. As much as I appreciate the workmanship put forth in the AMBR stuff, I can't get enough of these straight up traditional hot rods.
I think Jimmy B may be on to something. It could very well be there are some guys holding for next year, being the 75th. In any case, I’m torn...
