Thread: A little more progress

Thanks Whiplash, I'll tell him. I like those handles too, they are 30 sedan handles that we modified with 32 mounting plates so they could go on the door below the beltline, instead of on the beltline as they originally went. Dan felt they sat too high in the old position. He had some 32 handles for it originally, but felt these were a little more old timey looking.

I'm like you, but if I got down to look under a car I'd never be able to get back up.

Don,just tell him to carry a mirror everywhere he goes,so when he stops,he can put the mirror under the car so those with crook knees dont have to get down to look under it.....That r/p is lookin real nice..Just tell him when its together,he will have to take it out and enter it in a grass-khana,to see how well balanced it is .... Ahh,better not,I might get removed from the christmas card list...

Wash out your mouth lamin8r!!!! I see road rash as a sign I use my cars, Dan sees a scratch as the end of the world.

As for the mirrors, I told him he needs to put one on the floor at shows so people can see up under the dash. There is a lot of shiny powder coating and polished stainless there that will never be seen otherwise. When I took my 27 to it's first show maybe 23 years ago, it wasn't done yet, but I was proud of the painted and detailed undercarriage, so I did put a large mirror under the car. It was surprising to see a lot of people on hands and knees actually looking up under there. I also put an album of build pictures on the seat so people could see the construction all the way through. Some people would stand there and look at every page. I guess us car nuts will do anything to check out someone elses build.
