    Marcus - I'm sure you don't plan on driving this Hot Rod (with no hood, no fenders, & rear slicks) in the rain very often ... so the missing inner panel is probably not much of an issue ... I assume you'll be using an enclosed trailer for the trip down to the GNRS?

    It's amazing dude.....simply amazing. I don't know you personally but I am proud that you built something of this caliber. It's going to shake the earth this year at GNRS.

    I turned my brown walls into whitewalls, thanks to an ancient chinese secret and that secret is Mr Clean Magic Erasers with Bleche White Whitewall cleaner! Thanks Cody from Hurst for the cool advice..

    I went to the GNRS in Pomona for the first time this year, it was awesome! I used to go all the Oakland Roadster Shows up here and then the Cow Palace and exhibtion hall or whatever in SF..But The Fairplex Has them all beat in my opinion..

    I went two years in a row and said I'd never miss another. Unfortunately that was 3 years ago and now I can't get back there again this year. Sucks because I would have really liked to have seen your coupe M.Edell.
