Here is a little something that most people will never see but i had done by a great friend from So. Calif.. Him and another friend were going to be stopping by the house on their way to Canada for
Deuce Days that they have every three years. Since he's a pin stripper i told him to bring some brush's and he could strip my fan shroud for me.. of course he said yes and then as a joke i said you could strip my transmission too which he said ok... this is the first lay out and color..You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

These last shots brings me up to date, other than some hushmat and a little more wiring done this is just about as far as i've gotten as of today... You see back in July the wife wanted the house remodeled with new kitchen, new bathroom shower, and new tile floors in the whole house... so i ripped out everything in aug. and while the guys have been putting all then new stuff back in i've tried to get as much done on the car as i could... been living in the garage for the past 5 weeks and just today starting moving stuff back in... i'm sure i'll have to get retrained on where i left off on the car but more it'll come back to me fast... I'll up date as i can from here on out..You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

Looks like Phil is heavily influenced by Hrones. If you're going to be inspired by someone, emulate the best! He did a nice job.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
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.

Something from Gibbon didn't fit? Imagine that. I have a tiny bit of experience with Gibbon products myself - with a long backstory.
You are doing a terrific job on your '34. I'm really excited to see the rest of the progress. Sterling work.Jack

This one's not Gibbon, Jack. That's why it's going together so slick!! Originally Posted by Henry Rifle
