Yes Tony -- we discussed getting the wheels on order when I was there today.

Mark -- Trust me.... I don't care who's doing the work it will cost more and take twice as long as "everyone" planned. But I really could care less. After doing this stuff for almost 40 years... I know exactly what's what. I'm not into wasting money and I'm not doing a bunch of custom mods "just because nobody has ever done that before...." I'm just having fun getting what I want. It probably would have been easier just to build a car from scratch. We laughed about this at SEMA -- that I had just bought two frame rails and some upper and lower A arms and a body.

I know... and I work hard for that bad time!

I really do know I'm going about this all wrong. But it's kind of the way I do all my stuff... so why break a nice losing streak!

My wife will tell you --- "every car he ever bought was PERFECT.... and then he tears 'em all apart and re-does them". She's right of course. No argument from me.

Tracy --- Check out the interior rendering (sounds like a meat plant!) where he IS going to do a console with the push button start and two cup holders for me..... and you'll do the '37.... or maybe I'll rip out that crappy old Gabe Lopez interior in the Nomad and have you do a proper one...

EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA


I'm thinkin' that Mister Braga put a bug in his ear...

no sir bugs in the ear are hard to get out.

If you wanted cup holder then thats what you get, or pay for, same thing.

Yeah Tim will do a great Job, but Greg wants it all out of Food grade stainless polished inside and out. Which is bought in diameters and lengths. The bends are also only a certain radius. I'm pretty sure the compnay they get the stainless from can make you a tapered pipe. Its just $$
