Thanks Dave. The guy did good for us.

It looks great Don, makes me wish I had built one..envious at least.

Thanks Rich, I've envious too. The upside is that every time Dan changes his mind and redoes something on it, I grab the cast off parts and move them to my part of the shop. I can probably build my next project with hand me downs.

We got a lot done this weekend. Spent Friday all day cleaning the shop, it was worse than a disaster. Now we can find stuff and the floor even got scrubbed.

Saturday, Dan spent some time doing fun stuff to his car while I sorted out our tools. He bought some fog lights at Turkey Run and wanted to see how they looked on the car. After he mounted them we sat back and decided we really like the look, so they will probably stay. We powered them up to see how much light they put out, and liked the extra illumination too. He still has some work to do before he paints the 32 grille shell and gets that mounted.

He also bought a 40 Ford style wheel that we adapted to his quick release and got that mocked up to see how it fit. It will work fine. He is going to paint some of the wheel the same Wimbledon white as the firewall, and leave some areas black. He also decided he doesn't care for the Genie shifter handle in the picture (too much bling) so tomorrow I am going to order him a round handle from them for one of his Xmas gifts. That should fit the look of the car better.

Here are some pictures he took.
