Done and painted.
I don't post on these forums much but I wanted to share some pics of my 29 now that it's done. Glass car, glass fenders, built it myself over a three year period, first fiberglass car and it was alot of fun and I learned alot about doing a glass car, ( trial & error ) The only thing I did not do is spray the paint, but I did all the prep work and blocked it and primed it and got it ready to shoot. SBC/TH 350 mopar 8 3/4 3:91 gears. The interior I sewed myself, I ordered pleated vinyl from Garys upholstery in Florida. SW Wings gauges, Lokar shifter, I had alot of fun doing this car, and at 63 it may be my last one, hope the pics load OK.

Thanks jyardgirl, I keep saying this will maybe be my last build and yet I'm looking in the classifieds for another project. I guess it really is in our blood.

Thanks cffisher, I guess you're right because I learned alot on this one. Fiberglass itches, roadsters are SMALL, fiberglass itches, this is still and always will be fun, and did I mention fiberglass itches. I'm thinking a 32 3 window when I sell this one. Maybee in a year or so, I want to drive this for a while.

If you look up "Hot Rod" in the dictionary, a picture of your car should be there. That, Sir, is a HOT ROD. :D Love it. It sits right, has the right wheels and tires, and the color is different enough to set it apart.
I understand what you mean about this one might be your last. I have a couple of years on you and have to admit the urge to build another one at our age is not as intense as it was a while back. :o But somehow the sickness takes over and we find ourselves right back in the garage, burning, cutting, and generally hurting our bodies all over again. :LOL:
Nice job.

Beautiful little roadster sir ........... you did super work on that jewel:cool::cool::cool:

Very, very nice work!!!! 'Glass cars do present a different set of challenges for the build process--I'd say you met every challenge head on and did a most excellent job overcoming them!!! Super nice combination of tires, wheels, color, and all the other parts choices...Very, very nice!!!

Nice looking rod,I like the ride height and color. :D
I started my coupe when I was 67 took a couple of years. It will be my last build. **) **)

Very sweet be tough to top that one, maybe something completely different - fenderless lakester maybe.

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!
