Can you use periods between sentences?


You have a great lookin start! I'd love to have that for a rat but I can't afford that style

Congrats on being sober, but be careful cause this rat building thing is just as addicting
Good thing is it'll keep you outta the bar on friday nights!

That’s a Dodge! Awesome, you have quite a nice start there, more than a lot of us have had. [cl

Check out Bells build here: He did the same car you have, just a 1927 instead of a 1926.

Then there’s mine: I did this same car as well, 1926 and all, but I had a lot less parts to work with than you do.

I’m very much looking forward to watching your build. [P[P

Great car find. I like the long cars when they sit low with a little less roof height. Congrats on being sober, I have been clean and sober for 20 years and my life is a lot better.

Very cool body to start with.

Chopped and 2-door:

And channeled a bit too:

You could even do a severely chopped highboy style without the fenders.
