Assembly is coming along. Just about to install the dash, had to modify my mounts slightly to allow for the directionals. Picked up some insulation, carpet, underpad, reinstalled the rad and shell, made up the rad support rods. I picked up and test fitted some new meats for the back wheels, and I think they make the car look so much better!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I received my air cleaners and front tires today - couldn't wait to get the air cleaners on. I think they are perfect - high enough to look nasty, but not so high as to completely block my sight line out the front windshield.

I hope to get the tires mounted this week, then I'll really have some inspiration to get things buttoned up over the next few winter months.

Front tires

Well, here's a quick peek at my direction. I had the front tires mounted today, and propped them up at the front end....not bolted up yet, didn't have time to remove the blue white wall sealant even......my stupid job keeps getting in the way! Regardless, I'm stoked about how it's looking!

I really like the proportions of this car... a sedan coupe, if you will.

I can't see myself packed into a Model A coupe... I can see my large self sitting comfortably in your Graham, however. [cl

Headers

So, I didn't like the way the new headers fit. Okay, truth be told, the drivers side tire was going to make contact on a tight left turn, and the pipes were going to be just a tad proud of the door bottoms (translated - if my wife burns her leg getting out of the car, I doubt I'll be very popular!)

So, about an hour with the cut off wheel and a dremel - voila, 3" narrower. Now not only can I turn left, but I'll stay in DW's good books! One header done, one to go.[;)

A good plan for sure.

You should be stoked. :D
As the good Dr. said ...Kind of a sedan coupe.:cool: [cl

Kinda favors a Ford Vicky, but more of a coupe/roadster truck line.
Looking good, bet you won't park beside another one![cl[cl[cl
