Wow super nice work. And a cool custom color, which goes well with the gray interior. Always liked charcoal gray seats, don't get nearly as hot as the black ones!"

couldn't resist some underbody lights and it really makes it stand out at night
so thats it for this one
we'll drive the wheels off it this summer and no doubt there will be some issues but what homebuilt car doesn't have that.
thanks to those of you that followed along

Congrats on a great build! Love the stance, wheels, tires, and caps. The
light tint on the windows is a nice touch! Great workmanship from the
frame up, have fun!

Very very nice and congratulations on an amazing build and finish, brilliant. I like the lights underneath too as it was one of the things I will always remember about Gordon Cochrane's '27 T Tudor with the Jag bum in. It looked absolutely awesome following down the street at night with the axles etc highlighted by the glow of the lights.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Another question, I was told this engine takes 6 quarts of oil. Is that correct? It's a remanufactured 350 with stock pan.
