Can't drive it until I show it a few times.

On a side note, does anyone here in Calgary have access to some door rod clips this weekend? I just ran out of them and wanted to finish the doors today.

When you drive it, please have a couple friends in other cars making videos of it at a safe distance!

Hey Jeremy - when it does hit the show circuit - lots of pics , please. She is a beauty. We would love to see them. BK3

Also, as doorgunner suggested - a video of her in action going down the street would be awesome. Audio of the exhaust, too.

Yeah, that will be the first outing. We will have another car at the show that we did, something very special. Byron and I already have the display for the vette put together.

We are both looking forward to it.

I saw a '34 polished grill in one of your pics! You've been holding out on us!


Look behind the steering damper...my SBC (ford) street truck.....

Thank you, I worked very hard on them!

I installed the last piece of glass, the back window, this weekend. I also finished the interior (short of some seat belt pieces which I am missing).

I also painted the shocks silver, the sway bar silver and a few odds and ends blue. Pics to come later this week.
