    Can't add any superlatives that haven't been said yet. Really like the "quilted" effect on the sides of the trans tunnel.

  6. Farmer013, your answer to, "are you able to get enough legroom," was exactly what I was thinking. I thought, he should be able to, he is building to his own specs.

    I can't add anything to what has already been said. Your work is absolutely amazing.
    And that sir, is an understatement!

    Like a couple others have said, I'm selling everything, and going into my basement, curling up in a fetal position, and never going into the garage again. Once more I look at a thread, and realize I don't have 1/1000 of those skills. I am so humbled...

    You are not born with the skill set you have to learn by trial and error. You don’t make mistakes you learn not how to do it.

    Great..........No, Fantastic ! One suggestion. Cut the tops out of the valve covers and fab an insert in them with your name on them.

    There's some things I would have done different but than it wouldn't have turned out so incredible. That was refreshing, stimulating and a bunch of other adjectives I can't spell. Keep posting!

    That pickup is mind blowing.
    How long have you been working on that work of art?
    Incredible.

  23. You possess many skill most people do not have—-incredible thought process and then the ability to make it become reality—-what a gift!! I’m sure you made mistakes along the way, but you persevered and what you have nobody else has. Congratulations on the nearly finished project—-you should be very proud of your accomplishments—I know I would be extremely satisfied if I were you!!! 6FD7A3F3-43DC-4B21-96B7-F2F850B54596.jpeg

    Absolutely amazing, of course after seeing your merc you build I had no doubt it would be. The merc is a dream of mine. I love this hot rod though, I look forward to seeing it finished.

    Masterful job! only see a few details not worthy of mention, of which I'm certain will be addressed as this huge accomplishment is finalized... probably the one opinion & my opinion only is need for a bit of crown in the roof panel...
