Finally......She Hits The Streets

[Pope Downunder]

After 2.5 years of thrashing, plenty of blood, sweat and guidance form members on this board the '38 hit the streets this weekend. Just HAD to grab some quick shots down at the park of her on her maiden voyage and thought I'd share. Still have to finish the interior, but she is "on the road"!!

Good on you; that looks good.  There is nothing like those first drives, you keep hearing and feeling stuff that may, or may not, be there at all.

Tom36.....thanks thats what I was after.

Pope....and just how long shall that last? I'm tired of turning down the tunes...lol

Pep, after being out of it for so long (kids, mortgage and all) just knuckled down with my (now 13 yr old) and got her done. He's so torqued he's gone out and picked up his first project......'49 Chev Delux. Now.....just have to sneak it past momma and into the garage! My list of runs is so long I may never reach the end...but * sure die trying!

Rick....would have liked to put a "baby Hemi" in her to complete the look, BUT would rather get home at night....

Thanks Dirk, but a far cry from being "proffesional". Made all the usual rookie mistakes on her. I have two piles of parts at home after the build. The "next project" pile....and The "Ummmmm....that didn't work" pile!

I am proud of her though. She's performing like a true champ, staying cool in the summer heat/bumper-to-bumper trafiic and showing very well.
