    Steve-If you don't get your parts from them this time send everything to me and I will go over there and get what you need, this is crazy to have to go threw what you are going threw. I'm going to drive it for a while, at least 500 miles. I'm going to take it to the Good Guys show in 2 weeks at Del Mar. Then I probably will take it apart. It will take about 3 months for the paint and upholstery and all the detailing I want to do.

    Fatnlo- The grill shell insert is a Dan Fink. I use there stuff on all the stock height cars. great quality.

    Pat- Yes, this thing exceeded my expectations, I'm very proud of it. If you rode in it and closed your eyes you would not know it was a '32 roadster. the ride quality is superb. I'm really glad I chose the parts I did.

    Dave- That is so nice of you, thank you . Copy away, although I hope you improve on my ideas.
    There is something about the paint job that I haven't mentioned, I will show it when we get that far.


    I want to thank all of you that have written such nice comments.

    Ken, I'm sure that can I speak for many others here, I want to thank YOU for sharing with us your innovative ideas, superb execution of those ideas, and the many pics and explanations along the way. It has been a pleasure to follow this build project from your first post. Many times, I couldn't wait to see your latest posts to see what you've cooked up next, now I'm anxious to see what you've got up your sleeve with the paint scheme. Thanks for the ride along!!

    Yep, it's cars like this that make us realize there is a whole nuther level of rod builder out there. I look at the handmade one off parts and the whole car and marvel at how intricate it is. Very nice to see one like this come together, and the nice thing is that Ken always has another one in the wings so we can get our fix without any interuptions.
