You better Harry LOL.. If it wasn't for you, Dave and Bob I'm not sure I ever would have jumped in to
building these old hammers! You all have been a huge inspiration~

I put the car together this morning to see how it's looking.. I used the big 22166ff rear tires on 15x10's.. 20137's on the front on 15x8's.

Today I'll work on the interior pan, roll cage and driver~

Kev, I love that car! The stance is just right, Very aggressive look to it.
You really are bittin by the Vintage Mod Bug! wait till we start building the Highboy style Jalopy's! they are a hoot to race.
I cant quit running mine every time i pass the oval, I Stop and make a few laps with it.

Nice work Kev - the gold body trim complements the brass chassis and red paint perfectly!

Kev.. that came out great . Looks like something I would love to build as a real hot rod for the street that would be a head turner at a car show or take to the old timers show we have here on long Island in n.y. .it's builds like this that makes the rest of us try to build our own cars better. Wish we all lived closer so we could get some real old school mod racing going

Thanks for all the nice comments on this car.. I'm really liking these old mods.

Car is done (except for the guide, waiting on parts) and I'm happy with the way it came out.

Got my roll cage and driver guy done last night..

Then I put the car together this morning..

I plan to do at least 2 more.. Bobs '31 and another '33

ps. Tony, when I come to Long Island this summer I'm bringing my Mods!
