    Couple more engine details...I think Tony knocked it out of the park!

    Over the moon with everything...paint, interior, engine, nothing wrong with it at all.

    The whole thing is very cool. I personally love the colour nice to see something a little different once in a while. I have been following the interior build on Instagram and some really nice work done there as well!

    One more, interior finished. Just the grille, pulleys, fan and some steering to go and it will look like a complete car.

    Digging that stained wood in the insert.

    Couple more. Interior finished, managed to track down an NOS '37 glove box lock. Windshield in, fuel filter in and waiting for plumbing.

    Grill will go on mid week once pulleys and fan are finished. 10 days till Detroit.
