Very nice! Appreciate the pictures and detail for the fabrication of parts and tools as that's what hot rods are all about. I know that I've spent hours on certain parts that are "no-longer-available" yet needed to make something work. It's always rewarding to look at the finished product and know that I've been able to keep something going that would have otherwise been cast aside because our generation learned to adapt. I've got a whole list of folks in my past, i.e., shop teachers, uncles, friends fathers and most certainly my own father who took the time to teach and show me how to renovate and restore or build from scratch.

I've tried to instill similar values in my own children and grandchildren, but they seem to be inclined to discard and buy new. We're perhaps the last generation that truly knows how to work with our hands.

Thanks to all here who keep those skills alive!
