Well -- maybe I "deserved" the other idiot -- since I was dumb enough to pick him without doing any due diligence.... But thank you and yeah --- super happy the way this is all going.

Thanks buddy! So does your pipe welding!

Grille and front axle and hairpins will all be chromed... Thus the idea that the spreader would be better painted body color. The headlights will be body color with chrome bezels. Super simple car -- just some paint and a little chrome.

The wheels will be "magnesium" looking in the centers with polished rims... and the knockoff spinners will be polished. Same as Tom Gloy's baby blue SROTY '32 (since I stole - with permission - the wheel design and builder from him).

It really only needs to knock GWENS socks (well and maybe a bit more) off!!


I'm going to give it to her for her birthday June 15th at the L A Roadster Show... until then I'm trying my best to keep the whole thing secret.
