I love your quote. Hot Rodders Friends are better than family !!!
I will try to get a bigger picture, if I can get my son (who is better at computers than I, but not at building cars) to help.

THANKS Dave for making my picture bigger !!!!!

The Wheels are Enki that my Wife gave me For Christmas back in 1984. May be if I am goood I can get some new wheels for Christmas or birthday.
I used Alumicraft grill and a lot of modifing the grill shell. Mostly welding up the top and bottom small arches and adding a 3/16" rod all around the grill. I did not do that , but Steve Welch at the body shop did.  I am glad to have it back on the road. I have owned it for 42 years and I love to drive it. It is not a show car, but a Street Rod that is going to be driven rain or shine. We have no or very little snow here in Georgia so we drive them year round.

Rick if you have any more shots just email em to me and id be happy to post em for ya..  The car looks nice. way back when the enki wheels were the must have. I have a buddy with a 29 a that has a set on it. we did 29's and finished em the same year. I was actually the kick in the butt he needed to get his done.. He still has his and mine is still on the road but i dont own it.. It was money for this place after the divorce :? He has also been building s coupe for like 20 years :?:  Ive never seen the car and I see him about once every 2 to 3 years and he is 5 miles from me..  :?:  .. He is a member of one of those alternative churches and has been since birth . Thats keeps him busy also.. Still a nice guy and a good friend .. Man the memories his brother bought a 32 5 winder and i painted it.(for beer)
Oh ya we were talking enki's..Nice stuff
