    I've been wanting another Flathead car for a while now. Just got this one going and really enjoying it. Runs good, runs cool, handles good....

    Awesome little truck! You're building the Duvall-esque car too, right?

    You do very nice work.

    That is looking very good. I'd been following the progress over on the "Flyer's Hot Rod Board", until that disappeared. Have fun driving the wheels off of it now.;)

    Every once in awhile comes a car that just puts a huge smile on my face as I think, "Perfect!" This is one of those times. Great work! Wow!
