Ken with you being out of town at the time of the show, kind of takes the fun out of your win........(a testament to your quality of your work). What do you mean you don't get to take the trophy home.

Don-I appreciate all your nice comments, thank you again. Don't worry, no one could talk me into this, I have till December 1st to get the entry in. I'm going to see where I am next month, then make the decision.
Steve-It's comments like yours and several others that pushes me harder, I like dead lines and time tables This has really been fun to share this build here. If it wouldn't have been for a nudge by someone here, (Don), I wouldn't of done it. It's fun to read about you, and you project, when you get new parts and the excitement you share when you work on your truck
BRADC-Actually I wouldn't mind not being here, for the show. I'm pretty much an introvert. I don't do well in crowds, I'm the guy in the corner at party's. When I take one of my cars to a local show I just walk away from it. So I would be off to the side somewhere watching to make sure someone doesn't key it Isn't that something, you can't take that thing home, you just get your name on it, but you do get a nice jacket!

One of the things that has bugged me on previous '32's that I have built is the after market hoods and side panels and hinges. That is one of the reason's I have built my own hing mechanism.
So this friend of mine is here visiting from England. He happens to be a master metal man that works restoring Ferrari's. They have done all the tourist stuff and he looked really bored
So, I said John would you be interested and throwing together a hood and side panels for me? He said sure!
I told him all I wanted was a hood and side panels with a inner structure that wouldn't flex when I opened my hood. So he wiped these out for me, his wife is still not talking to me
I have to make the Little pockets that go around the upper control arm mount, but I can handle that.
Boy are they heavy !!
