    From what I can see from the photo Fat Lucky's did an awesome job with the interior. Not to mention Brian did a kick ass job on the rest of the car. Nice and clean.

    I've only had a few hours sleep over the last five days, and I'm running on fumes....so I'll just throw a few sneak preview pictures on here real quick.

    The car is set up in Building 3 here at the GNRS...

    At long last, a customer who has followed through with a project to the end. Congratulations Brian, the car looks great. I love the gold piping and carpet...and personally like it better hoodless!

    Awesome photo, Eric! Thanks so much for coming over and helping me get the car running. I drove it around the block once before sticking it in the trailer, and that 283 will get up and go!

    Tayden was a real trooper sticking in there with us...I owe him one.

    Bass, That is one heck of a Hot Rod ! Not a big fan of "black' - But dig the heck of the reflections coming out of that paint.
    Love the period look of the upholstery and carpet. Very well done !

    Your Welcome Brian.

    I'm glad everything worked out and the 283 sounded pretty rad but it doesnt compare to how nice the '32 has turned out. You did Good.
