Thanks, I think if My car was in that dictionary it'd be next to that RPU in your Avatar, Sweet looking ride also. I'm already getting the itch to get started on the " next " one.:eek:

Thanks Dave, I know you are very highly regarded here and I appreciate the thumbs up alot, means alot to get a good response from all the replys here. I spent alot of time building this car in my head before I ever went into the garage. I think if you start out with an image of the end result in your head and for the most part stick to it, it goes along pretty good, not that I didn't make any changes on the little details but the car you see in the pics is pretty much what I set out to build. Again a big Thanks to you and everyone who replied!!
Nice job! Congratulations!!
Awesome ride, I'm 58 and just getting started. I look forward to seeing your next.
KUDOS!!! Extraordinary job. You captured the "eyeball" that seems to elude some builders.:)
I did a few things over untill I thought it looked " right ". Thanks for your compliment, I sure value your opinion here, that means alot, like I said earlier, I don't build cars for others approval, but it sure is good to here all the good comments here.:D
I'm also 150 % behind all the excellent comments that everybody has kindly posted here for you and man you should be very proud of your workmanship. Oh I also wonder if you have stopped scratching yet????
Thanks whiplash, I stopped itching about a week ago, I hope now that I'm done with my car I can hang out here a little more and maybe offer some help to anyone who asks, my Dad (RIP) always said there is no better teacher than the mistakes you've made, if that's true I should be a BIG help,,,,,,,
Beautiful job on a great looking car. You did a perfect car with the right wheels, paint, engine with 3 carbs. Can't go wrong with that one. Congratulations.
Man what a gorgeous job you did. I think you nailed it the first time out! Hard to do. I like the idea of riding it and enjoying it for awhile. I think before your next project, you need a current one to give you likes and dislikes, changes, etc.. and time. This one is a keeper! Sometimes it's the process that's fun, others it's the reward and bragging rights once done. I like the red interior and gauge selection too. Just well done and congrats!
I was just thinking fenders are a pain, but after the time and money on paint and body work, it is nice not having loose gravel mess it up! I also wanted to mention, that the kids in the photo seem to love it too!
That's my 6 year old Grandaughter, She has been there every step of the way, ( we watch her during the day while mom & dad are at work ). She wanted to be the model for the first pics of the finished car. I said I would love that. Now she wants to know, ( after seeing the pics of her with the car ) if she can get some "cartoons" on her arms like the girls on my garage wall, ( from Hot Rod Deluxe Mag. ) Oh Boy!!!!!
Looks great!.
Excellent workmanship to bring it together with such a clean look.
