    Sweet baby Jesus this is my new favorite car. I think it's only fair to the quality of the sheetmetal that you leave it raw just for a little while. It's gorgeous

    Scott there are some nice places and people in Texas and some talented car guys here and the taxes are not like Cali. I have several retired friends that were tired of the rat race there. The only problem here is the thug running up and down the street in those damn hot rods. No just kidding they love em !!The film industy is in East Texas and the Shrevesport area I just bought some trucks from a lighting company we donated to the habitat for humanitys . Our company does work for some of film companys. In some ways we are behind but then again we are ahead in others !! Come see us the Lonestar Round Up would be a good place to start !

    I think we'd all appreciate you bringing it to the roundup. It's a hell of a show, and would be well worth your trip

    I feel like I have to plead again that you hold off on painting this car at least for a little while. The sheet metal is too perfect.

    If this car was painted, it'd look like the incredible hot rod it is, but a perfect car in bare metal shows just how bad ass it really is. Name it "nothing to hide"

    The Gillen Coupe 32 is all painted and ready to put together.....A cut and polish and she be done in time for the GNRS......up in building #4 near the stage in the Brizio booths.......I think the color is great, vert true to Ford and a dual shine single stage paint.

    This is the 32 I bought from mike in Ventura, ripped it all apart and built it correctly this time. No mistakes here, this thing is now a rock....
