Don, that chassis looks real P&J-ish. GM metric brakes front & Ford drums on the rear? Or am I off base?
It makes me want to do another one, but that's never going to happen.
Love the paint scheme and the Chevy tail lights. I used those myself.
Cant wait to see it up on its feet.Jack

Really nice job Don. Bet there are quite a few rodders, who have cars in shops and are waiting months for items to happen, are just amazed at how quick you turn out an excellent product.
Tell Tim I hope to see it on the road, literally. I am expecting to see an trimmers dream interior, hope he will do it.
