Thanks again to everyone for the compliments. It's been a fun build, although I got sidetracked a number of times and should have finished this two or three years ago...

Whiplash - I have a stack of receipts in the shop yet to be totaled. I'll do that soon and add it all to the previous total. I had originally said I hoped to bring this project in for about $4500, but I know I went a little past $5000 with the paint and other last-minute stuff. I remember Don's "Project 3K is Underway" thread. That car turned out beautiful, but I think he just couldn't restrain himself from having some pricey details. I would estimate that he spent more than $3000 on paint and upholstery. I think the total was probably closer to 10K when he was finished.

Steve - I've seen that car before; it's nicely done and well proportioned. I don't remember what engine it has; possibly a flathead. The body is a '26 - '27 style and the external mounted gas tank is typical of a "Lakes Modified" style car as Track Roadsters were required to have the tank mounted inside the body (usually under a turtle deck, but occasionally a pickup bed was used).

Dave - I'd love to put it on a track somewhere just to see how it handles. Maybe one day I'll persuade the officials at Orlando to let me make a couple of laps during practice. If so, I'll post the outcome here...
