Sounds like you built a good one. Nice accomplishment! Not very many hot rods, IMO, pro or home built are as usable.

I love to see a great paint job, killer engine or interior just as much as everyone else, but the rods that get actually driven are much cooler!

Congrats! Have fun on the Power Tour! Just make sure you don't have an overheating problem. Traffic on the PT can be brutal.
