    Wow, that's a nice car. Everything works visually.

    That's pretty low for a 32 based frame. Can you post pictures of the rear portion of the frame?

    Love the chop, stance and louvers. And of course the workmanship. This is obviously a car that isn't just falling together...somebody is putting a lot of thought and work into this.

    Gary, got any shots of John's other cars? I'm shure the HAMB crowd would enjoy them.

    29's are my personal favorite. Oddly I like them better that a 32'.

    This build is beautiful. I love the proportions and flow. Would love to see it in person.

    Good luck and please update from time to time. Subscribed!

    By the way, what diameter wheels are those. Unfortunately I only have 18" spoke or 17" artillery and I am looking to see proportions on other cars. Are those 16" Ford spoke?

    The body sits over the frame like a 32 also, most model A's sit on top.
    I think John is one of the best car builders there is and he is very humble.
    I had the honor to paint his last 29 sedan.

    The body has been channelled 1 1/2". Its on a lobeck frame kicked up 8" in the back.

    John does alot of the trick little things that take so much time and nobody ever notices the details. Somebody could look at his cars a dozen times and notice something new everytime. He Does great work! I'm going to get some more pics, and some of his previous rides too.

    John builds some of the nicest cars you have ever seen. The workmenship and quality is outstanding. If you ever have the oppurtinty to purchase a car build by him you'll never regreat it. I have purchased a few and have never regreated it. I purchased a 32 Ford 4 Door Sedan and won the Deuce/ Merc reuion (only 5 winners in the world have this award), Shades of the Past top 25, Coddington Top 25 and the ISCA class chapionship not to mention many other awards. This car is being driven all summer long to many events. I purchased a 1950 Chevy Fastback custom over 25 years ago and i'm still driving it all summer the same as I purchased it. Only sad part is he won't replace the batterys under warranty that I've had to put in,:) and belive me that's all I've had to do. He builds the finest most detailed cars you have seen. Most people never see the changes made.

    Keep up the good work John

    The only part of that car I don't like is that it's not parked at my house. "Just right" does not do the man 's work and eye justice. Thanks for pposting the pics.
