    Wow, looking good Mark. Is the radiator/grill shell going to get lowered?
    Where in Texas? Are you high and dry?

    Driveshaft looks a little wimpy, the rest of the suspension looks good

    Shell is just sitting there... It'll find the right spot.

    Texas is postponed until next year.

    Marriage will be in Texas.

    Hopefully the car will be at the Lone Star Round Up.

    But I should see about town for the next couple months!

    Just gone through this thread entirely, enjoying the roadster build. Wondering why there hasn't been any future progress since September 2017...

    Also posted on Von Hartman's build thread on his awesome Model A 5 window "DRAG" inspired coupe, which has not seen any further progress in years. Another HAMBER posted that he opened up his first shop which you became his first customer wingnutz, which brought me to your thread. C'mon, there must be some additional progress, no?

    Mark the roadster looks wicked good and sorry to hear your moving for our Midwest area. Mr Hartman is a true craftsman and a shame to cover that floor.., Hope to see you soon buddy

    s-l400 (1).jpg As soon as I finished the last entry the doorbell rang and this showed up at my door... My eBay door! Two day delivery by mail and it's actually in better shape than the photos show!

    All I need now is the passenger side door in this condition... Better yet I'd love to have the whole car this door came off of if it's in this condition!
