Hmmmmmm!!! I like that idea, you know it's funny because the fenders on mine posed the biggest problem as far as the ride hieght and the overall stance and hot rod look, and I love lakesters.

Stunning! You did a bang up job. I'd be proud to drive this one anywhere and I'm a muscle car guy! Really like the 3 x 2 intake and the "Dutch" style pin striping.

Well Done!

Great looking car, hot rod all the way. Great work! Don Jr.

She's a sweet one.

Awesome ride, I'm 58 and just getting started. I look forward to seeing your next.

KUDOS!!! Extraordinary job. You captured the "eyeball" that seems to elude some builders.

I did a few things over untill I thought it looked " right ". Thanks for your compliment, I sure value your opinion here, that means alot, like I said earlier, I don't build cars for others approval, but it sure is good to here all the good comments here.

Great job, I know how difficult glass cars can be and it came out good, well done

Your 8th Rod is a picture of perfection. I suspect that after a short period of time you will get the itch again and start looking for a new project. Do you have any pics of your earlier builds? 63 is young; I will be 69 in Dec. and when I finish (they are never quite finished are they?) the re-do on the 34 I would like to find a late 40s to early 50s Pontiac to build.

Sorry for the delay Jack F, I've got some pics of my 37 P.U. my 40 P.U. my 41 coupe and my 47 coupe but don't have a clue on how to get them posted here, maybe my son can scan them in and I'll try to get em posted. I've already got the itch, looked at a 36 Chevy coupe Sunday, basket case but everything is there and solid, there are just alot of baskets!!!! That would give me more room. Good luck on the 34 re-do.

Thanks, I tried to make it not look like a glass car, if that makes any sense, I think alot of glass cars are hi-boys and I really like a nice hi-boy but I just wanted a full fendered, sittin right, no frills " hot rod ". I'm real happy with the end result and thanks again.

That is one classy ride. Beautiful job!

Beautiful!!!

Obviously not your first rodeo! Hope you get to enjoy it now with your family

Glass or not fantastic build and the car is great >

Thanks bluestang, My biggest concern waqs that alot of several people told me that glass cars don't rattle, they creak, and I don't have any creaks at all, really nice and tight, firm ride but not rough. I spent ALOT of time building the steel inner structure and used a fair amount of sound insulation. I guess I'm pleasantly suprised at how nice and quiet and tight it drives. Fun build, thanks again!
