I vote for POPs ROD, it would look good next to your sons cars at shows.

Yeah, that isn't too bad........but don't tell Bob, you know what a big head he gets. I have 6 months to do it, because if I remember correctly from when I got the last vanity plate, you have to get a regular plate first and have it for 6 months, and then you can apply for a personalized one. Maybe it's changed in all these years, but that was how it was then.


While all you nice people were eating hot dogs and shooting off fireworks today, I was working at the shop. I got lots of grinding done on the rear section, and got my seat risers cut and glassed in. I had to come home and take a shower as I was covered with fiberglass, but when I went back Dan was in the middle of doing his driveshaft hoops and tunnel, so I gave him a hand bending them up. He is really coming along well, and I see no reason he can't have it running by November.

Here are some pictures of my seat riser (before I glassed it in) and the tin work we did on Dans '29. That rectangular cutout on my seat riser is where I am going to install my various switches. I am going to engine turn a piece of stainless steel and make a plate to cover the cutout and hold the switches.
