Uncle Bob, you know the old adage, "Without pictures....." :HMMM:

We'll be looking forward to seeing a new thread pop up!:D

Indeed great news, and it looks great! The stance is perfect, and it screams Hot Rod!! Congrats!!

Good to see the progress, Jim. What feels like baby steps add up, and all of a sudden it's time to check things out with a drive around the block!!

WOW! Talk about some metal working skills! That guy is AMAZING!!

Good to see you back at it, Jim, thanks to the mental revelation! And with that henceforth statement, sounds like we can look forward to another build after this one!!

Nice work on the hoses, which are a genuine pain to deal with! Having the crimper is a huge help, vs having to take them all to the auto parts store and explain how important it is that the marks...

Just wait until you move to New Mexico!

And bump stops are not bad, either!

LOL! Jim, you had the advantage of knowing what they looked like! I had to find pictures, then found it too easy to just click "Add To Cart!" I like the ones you made!

Seth, this one is Jim's coupe with quality build features compared to mine! I'm sure he'd welcome a visit but it'll be a longer drive for you to Titusville, Florida! On a plus side, you might catch...

Jim, you're much more energetic than me! I ordered mine from Speedway! https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=1932+ford+hood+retainers

Looking really good, Jim!

You're very welcome, Jim. Just glad that I could be of real help and save you some time. You've nailed the stance, and the "drop" on the tires. Looking forward to seeing those rear frame rails bobbed...

Who's trying to start a pissing match with anyone? I was simply pointing out that you had been the first to say that a kid taking over a business doesn't always work out! To that point, Why are you...

Jim - Yeah, that's why I said you need to look at the past 10 years. It looked like in 2008 "Legendary" defaulted on the note held by the Downs family, and Jamie Downs (the son - noting Shine's...

Jim, regarding Downs you need to look at what they've done in the past ten years as opposed to what they made earlier. Recall that their transition to new ownership (Legendary?) didn't go so well,...

Jim,
I'd say to contact N&N in Arkansas, but Duane sold his molds to some guy that I think was from Oklahoma, and I've heard nothing else about him. I've heard good things about Russ Nomore Bodies...

Looking good, Jim. I especially like that level on the carb mount. Some say to pay no attention to the carb mount angle, but I say why would you not take advantage of the engineering that was done by...

Summit has a wide range of center caps, or if you google slot mag center caps there's several vintage ($$) sellers out there, many different varieties from the ones that slip in from the back to...

Jim,
Just to be clear, the "firewall" dimension I gave you is the flat, leading edge of the cowl. I took a couple of pictures showing that the firewall (flat on ShowMe) is set...

Jim, on a Pete & Jake's '32 chassis, Show-Me roadster body - tape measure taped to top center of the rear drum I got 75" to the front edge of the firewall, and 91" to the center of the SBC motor...

I agree 100%. There's nothing wrong with a home build that's not cranked out in six months or less, and bringing in features from different cars you might see, incorporating salvage yard parts,...
