Drove the coupe from the back stall in the garage out into the daylight for the first time under it's own power.  :D  Still have a few body pieces to buff out and install as you can see by the pictures. Really gets the blood pumping being able to drive it 30 feet. Would have taken it for a spin around the block but there's still a lot of gravel on the street form the blizzard and all the snow last week  that has since melted off.

A street rod is a vehicle made before 1949 that is modified with modern stuff: bigger motors; newer trans; updated suspension, front & rear; a/c.
Following is a street rod plus definition: No known definition because it changes.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's been 7 1/2 years to this point and can finally have something to drive to the shows.
The paint color is Ford color Screaming Yellow that's on the big ford trucks. Then it also came out on the new mustangs after the pickups. It is also on the ranger pickups with another color name I think is called blazing yellow. I put it on over a white base so it really came out bright yellow which is what I was after.

That really looks great Bob.  I love that SCREAMING YELLOW.  There was a new Mustang Saleen in that color out in front of Cabella's yesterday.  A photographer was there with a couple car babe models taking all kind of pictures.  Wait 'til he sees your car....

    My Dad was a carpenter too and he used to always tell me, attention to detail is the secret to sucess.  You suceeded.  I'll bet htose grandkids love it to, huh?  Congratulations, Tom G.

    p.s.  It'll be a real radar magnet now, even with the glass body.
