I was wondering when you were going to get around to making the announcement. Congrats

Ohio Blue Tip · February 25, 2005, 07:21:41 AM

Because inquiring minds want to know;

It's an Outlaw body and fenders on original 1934 frame.
Mono-leaf spring, tube axle, cross steer, etc.
Ford narrowed 9" rear with parallel leaf springs
15" and 17" wheels.
355 SBC & 350 trans.
Vintage heat & air.
Rootlieb hood with Dan Fink latch/hinge.
Disc/drum brakes.
Power windows, power trunk, power antenna.
Walker radiator.
More things to discover as I go over it. It runs and moves, just needs to be made roadworthy. There's a few thins that need changing and completing. Plan is to run in primer this year and work all the bugs out.

No, it's all wired (painless I think), just was trying to learn the new ways to wire rods with a lot of power grabbing accessories.
Yes, I plan on a trailer hitch.

What's it titled as? It doesn't look like a '48 F1 that needs door hinges. If you're going to have that thing ready to go in the spring what color is it going to be? It will be faster to match the hood to the body (does it really need a hood?) than to match the body to the hood. GPster
