Thanks whiplash, I stopped itching about a week ago, I hope now that I'm done with my car I can hang out here a little more and maybe offer some help to anyone who asks, my Dad (RIP) always said there is no better teacher than the mistakes you've made, if that's true I should be a BIG help,,,,,,,

Beautiful job on a great looking car. You did a perfect car with the right wheels, paint, engine with 3 carbs. Can't go wrong with that one. Congratulations.

Thanks chevy 37, My first real street rod was a 37 Chevy P.U. 327 TH 350 Corvette rear. Black, I loved that truck, sold it in 75 or 76 to fund my 40 Chevy P.U. Anyway,,, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

Man what a gorgeous job you did. I think you nailed it the first time out! Hard to do. I like the idea of riding it and enjoying it for awhile. I think before your next project, you need a current one to give you likes and dislikes, changes, etc.. and time. This one is a keeper! Sometimes it's the process that's fun, others it's the reward and bragging rights once done. I like the red interior and gauge selection too. Just well done and congrats!

I was just thinking fenders are a pain, but after the time and money on paint and body work, it is nice not having loose gravel mess it up! I also wanted to mention, that the kids in the photo seem to love it too!

That's my 6 year old Grandaughter, She has been there every step of the way, ( we watch her during the day while mom & dad are at work ). She wanted to be the model for the first pics of the finished car. I said I would love that. Now she wants to know, ( after seeing the pics of her with the car ) if she can get some "cartoons" on her arms like the girls on my garage wall, ( from Hot Rod Deluxe Mag. ) Oh Boy!!!!!

Looks great!.

Excellent workmanship to bring it together with such a clean look.

Hey she is only six so enjoy her younger years before she asks for the keys so she can meet that cute boy from school she fancies. LOL. We have a number of young ladies over here right into building and driving old cars due to helping either their dads or granddads out in the garage while they worked on their own cars so good one as she just may be one of the next generation of rodders.

Hey whiplash, she helped me paint the wheels and is great cleaning the shop, she gets that from grandma. She went for her first ride yesterday and I don't know who was happier her or me. All three of my grandaughters are our life.
