Absolutely stunning car Don, and one just has to look at any of your builds to understand how the correct wheel tyre combination can make or break the overall look of a car. We have a couple of '32's down here, one is a 3 window and the other a 5 window, which the owners have chosen wide 18 or 19" rims fitted with rubber band tyres on the front and maybe 20" wide rims with the same type of tyres on the rear and sadly, makes their cars look totally wrong but I emphasize the word " Their ".I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

You say that , but it took me 8 years to finish the Phantom. I suppose I did build 2 Pick Uos and look after a 46 Sedan at the same time.
If we get stuff send over by Sea it can take 6-8 weeks..
Still a great look car. Well done.

Wiring can be a pain. My problem is I get in a groove and have a plan and then get sidelined to another project and when I come back I forget what the heck my plan was.
