    The first picture is what it looked like coming off the trailer after setting 20 years in a shed. The second is how it looks as my daily driver with an overhauled motor and drive train, disc brakes, new interior etc. Makes an old retired guy happy.

    M.Ralph, I build one a year if I have time between other customer jobs & my own projects. I have most of the panels done on another one which is already sold. I've got a 33 chev there i'm saving as a keeper.
    Cheers Steve.
