Looking great! From the 2 I worked on, and my Tudor, I believe they all suck to get aligned. I like the name and meaning behind the truck too.

Thanks, little bit here, little bit there, you know my hood is longer on one side or shorter on the other depending on how you look at it, on the back of the hood from the bead rolled area down.

Dad named his car the "Fordy Stalker" back in the early 70's after he got back from Vietnam, he took the flathead out and dropped the 455 Buick in it, I believe he was running low 13 second quarter miles back then and it was basically a daily driver. I am told besides some drag racing on the track he was street racing too, picking on the mustangs, corvettes, camaros etc. of the time, I have only heard stories. Thus the Fordy Stalker.

Here is my dad with my uncle at Dixie Raceway, Later 70's. My uncle was a autobody/autoshop teacher at one of the northern Utah high schools for over 20 years. They all pitched in on building the coupe, my other uncle was an art teacher and was involved in the painting and gold leafing of the door logos.
