Like that other dude with the big block and rigid suspension did, right? Yeah, that was cool...
Good work, Danny. Keep it up, man (a line you'll undoubtedly hear more & more as you get older and your prostrate starts to act up....but I digress

You're doing a great job. Nice.
Now I hate to ever say anything to anyone who is doing this quality of work but you may want to think about moving that regulator and gauge around front to make it easier to get at.
Just a thought.

This really is a nice build. I love the fuel filler in the door. Little "touches" like that really make a build truly creative and custom. It's the stuff most people don't notice that really is impressive when pointed out. I have a 1963 Ford Falcon done as a mid-sixties custom. I included many of these touches like radiused door corners, smoothed vents and trim and filled seams.Jboy2 wrote:Coming along nice danny!

Uh oh..wheels turing Rebel?...
Man this is great work. I haev had a lot of fun following it.
I ended up putting the reg. under the hood on the firewall..much easier than removing the cowl to take a peek.
