I am not a custom guy, but this car is different. It was at the Lone Star Round Up in Austin,Texas last week, thought I would share

Hey Gary;
That is 1 awesome ride for a "Life Long Project"! My coupe is going to be a "Life Long Project", but it looks like it will be somewhere between a driver and rat rod if and when I ever get it finished...still working on though!

Hey Rono, just get it running and driving then you can work on it when time and parts allow. The original or unfinished look is really in these days. I really don't like "rat rod" term, those are just cobbled together parts not a planed build and your coupe will be anything but a rat rod. I liked this one also.

I mistakenly thought I would be among the first to use the Auzzie intake and 4-71 on a Y. Darn procrastination! If I push my self maybe I can have it done by the June meet. Gotta get off this damn couch!

Dam Gary,

Your car looks like the great models I use to buy when I was a kid. It's one of  the best examples I've seen in a long time. Not over done, just right. Just shows it take time to do a good job.

Hey Gary;
Thanks for the encouraging words. I am following your advice. Rebuilding the doors now and removing a lot of old lead repair. At least I'm off dead center and making some progress again!
