    Drive was great yesterday, other than the closed freeway they didn't bother telling you it was closed till you got to it, was fun jumping the curb pulling a trailer and going down an up ramp. LOTS of CHP out there yesterday. actually had to drive pretty close to the Speed Limit.
    Thank you for the project James. Nice car to start with. probably just swap in the Police interceptor 429 and surprise a few locals at the stop lights............ I just LOVE sleepers.

    Thanks Doug, takes time, but James Knows what I have done in the past so I think he is comfortable with what we are doing at this point.
    Starliner? don't really know which direction I am going to go with it. probably a mild Custom Hot Rod. I absolutely Love sleepers.

    Hi James...Yerrrr!!! I see how much forward you have had to mount it...not much left of the original support panel....no doubt Jason will sort it out....
    There are a few photos....Have had up too 6 grand kids here over school vacation using the swimming pool so I havent had much time to work on the 49.....they are back a school now . so should start happening again....
    Keep up the great work.........Doug
