    Its all been said, but I just had to say this is gonna be an 'important' car. Just in the way masters make things look easy, this is going to be one of those perfectly executed cars that make you stare for hours. Thanks for sharing and inspiring

    I agree. Keep up the great work ethic you've got going and it will become historical, possibly. You've got a great eye for style and obviously the talent to bring to the car. 'Art', I think they call it. 'Poetry in motion', once it's rollin' down the road. db

    I made some more progress over the past week, so I'll just add a little more to this thread. The hood is just about done now, and I've gotten the front fenders trimmed and the grille surround tacked in place.

    [​IMG]

    Mating the two hoods together is a lot of work....but I think the results are worth it. The grille surround looks like it belongs now.

    [​IMG]

    The front bumper and brackets will be next...the Merc bumper needs to be narrowed in the center and shortened slightly at the ends.

    As for color, it hasn't been decided just yet. I'm leaning towards a particular shade, but the final decision will of course be up to Dudley.


    I trying to get Goodguys to let me bring it to their 'Lonestar' show next weekend in Fort Worth, but I'm not having much luck. It will be there, but it may be relegated to the swap meet.

    Fuck It, I'm Done......

    I'm really at a loss for words, I'm in awe, I'm blown the hell away.
     
  24. I just love watching this car getting built.

    Easily the best build since Cole's 36, every update just blows me away.
    Wish I wasn't on the other side of the world as I would love to see this one in the flesh.

    That hood looks great. I appears as though it should have always been there - cool.
