    Thanks Ryan. It is going slower than I'd like but it's still moving forward.

    I'm still plugging away at her. I gathered up the family and dragged them down to the garage and they helped me take the body outside and flip it on it's side. Some things I just can't do alone. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I had envisioned stalactites hanging from the underside. But I was pleasantly surprised. I ground it all down and it wasn't looking too bad when I was done. Still a lot to do though. I've been working on my heater some more and I'm pretty happy with the way that's coming out. I know I already have a third brake light but I found a real rare and Kool as hell Teleoptic light. It was real expensive but I couldn't resist. I've been selling off a ton of big (Leftover) items taking up space in my garage. Extra money and more space= a win win for me. Lets see...Oh and I tried the new grille on for size after I put the trim band and trinkets on it. Man that thing looks good! So I hear you guys like pictures. Well here ya go.

    Wow ,that light is gorgeous and I would of been like you, can't stop myself. I have always had a soft spot for the '33/'34 grilles and yours fits the bill so nicely. Keep up the good work and thanks for the update.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    I know right? $750 ouch! I paid dearly for mine but no where near $750 thats just insane. I bet he's hoping he finds the one guy with deep pockets that just has to have it. Probably that same guy that just has to have the last unmolested Henry 32 5 window for $35K.

    I finished up the heater and I think it's gonna work out perfectly.






    I picked up a dash insert on FEEBAY as well.

    And I sold the greyhound and opted for a regular radiator cap. Not sorry I did either. The greyhound went for big $$ and I think the regular cap looks way better.


    Man the dust shows up in those pictures. Now I'll have to dust things off before I take pictures..yeah like that's gonna happen.

    I don't mind the dust! I like the regular cap too. It just flows with the grill shell!

    Saturday I ground the fiberglass down on the floor till it started to rain then inside to work on the exhaust. I welded the flanges onto the headers and the mufflers. I'm using V-band clamps so it can all be taken apart in sections if repairs ever have to be made to the car. I did some practicing before I welded on anything. They aren't the prettiest welds but they wont leak that's for sure. I flap wheeled them smooth so they look less hideous...LOL Then on Sunday it was still raining here so I did some more work on the exhaust. What do you guy's think is a good minimum for ground clearance? I'm at about 5" now. Hell after all this it's staying at 5"! The wife is so cute. "Why don't you just run it straight (flat) out the back?" I told her because that would be too easy and personally I think it looks like crap not tucked up. Besides if it's too low it will get hung up on things like that racoon you hit at 2AM coming home from that long trip. I still have to clean the welds up a bit and hit them with high temp paint so they don't rust. Because it is going to be modular I may have it ceramic coated some day during a long winter. I'm hoping this weekend is going to be nice so I can finish up the floor. One step closer I suppose.






    I know it says 7-1/2" but its on 2-1/2" wheel dollies. It hangs a little lower than my wishbone mounts (about 1-1/4"). I don't think it will be an issue.
