Have really enjoyed your threads; you put 'em together quick! My last complete build took me a few years...

    Nice! You really have the stance nailed on these. I am just now starting my first Deuce build. I've built lots of T-buckets, C-Cabs, and Model-A's, but never a Deuce, so I've been browsing your build threads. I may pester you with some questions later on; I hope that's OK.

    You have some really nice builds. I already have 15x8 wheels but I will keep it in mind for future builds.

    Don, you need to put your "touch" on the center portion around the speedo. It's a nice looking piece, just needs a little more "something" to move it up a notch. Something like a brush polish, or a vintage badge, or airbrush high lighting...........a character enhancement of some sort. Maybe an engraved tribute to Ms. Mary, or something of hers that brings a smile to your face attached below the speedo..................just my brain churning...

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I was wondering about you Don. We had not heard anything from you and that is unusual because when you are in the middle of a project, you just keep right on doing stuff that most of us only wish we could. Glad to hear from you. Now, the parts will fly!

    Well you enjoy your short break away at the NSRA meeting Don and I'm sure the '40 will look absolutely stunning with your improvements. The roadster is coming together well to and I look forward to more updates as you go.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
