We won't know till we try to fire it up! It was kind of weird to be doing that, but after the hurricane passed we had no power at the shop, so Dan and I were sitting around the house bored. We were trying to make Daytona (that year too ) so we hooked up my little generator and ran some halogen flood lights off of it and proceeded to build his 455. It wasn't ideal, but ya do what ya gotta do!

I will probably be the minority, but I love deadlines. I think it comes from years of drag racing. Regardless, I seem to do better under stress. I think you can do this,looking at the photo's you have got a lot of the hard stuff done. Even if you try and miss the date you are going to have fun with your son, and that will be more memorable than any street rod event. besides your T will hold two people.

Hello, I was curious if you have passed the $3,000 mark yet? I was reading through this post to try and find out, but that is alot of pages

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Oops!!! Sorry Don----

Uh, no, I'm at about $ 1501.77 right now. OK, BRIAN WOULD JUST SQUEAL ON ME, SO I BETTER TELL THE TRUTH !

I gave up on that premise part way in. Long story that I've repeated a few times, but basically I started to like the car too much and wanted it to be better. I have no idea where I am right now, in all honesty......Probably $ 12 K, but that is just a guess.

However...............I do have a Model A cowl and doors, and some '35 Ford wire wheels, and am planning on ACTUALLY doing another project as soon as this one and the '39 Dodge are done. I promise to stick to the $ 3K thing next time.

Thanks for asking though. (Darned Brian let the cat out of the bag )
