Cool! Nice looking ride. It reminds me a little of the Tom McMullan roadster--same theme.

Looks great!
Man, how many highboy's were there at the car show....LOL! There aren't any highboy's in my area at all.
The highboy is my dream car, one of these days I will have one. Probably by the time I get one, everyone else will have one too.
Enjoy your new look!

OK , I am going to ask a stupid question. Is that a small gas tank bolted in front of the radiator?:eek:
Yes. Lovingly known as a "Moon tank", they were run on many drag cars to keep the fuel away from the driver, limit the amount, and avoid supply problems from trying to push it forward during acceleration. Moon Equipment Company made them.
How many gallons do they hold?
when they are functional, only a couple gallons.. most street rods/hot rods you see with them,they are non functional.Quote:

Yes. These days they are used more for that nostalgic competition look.
Looks awesome Steve!!! What a great ride!!!

Great time to be buying a car, there were some screaming deals. Someone told me Brookville sold 60 new bodies Friday alone (orders). Guess the wait just got longer.
Car is back over at So-Cal to finish the punch list of little things. Plus- they never had time to align the front end. They got it real close. I pick up car Friday.
I've always loved the McMullin car but I like my flames better.:p
Didn't someone buy that car & paint the whole car black?
I like yours better too. I did a car inspired by the McMullen roadster, but the flames are too "interrupted" by the louvers for my taste.
That flame job really came out GREAT!!!! I have seen some of Denis' work and it is in a league of it's own in my opinion.
I just read the thread, the car looks fantastic.
