Can you post up a big picture of what appears to be your "old" race car? The one you're using for your Avatar?

Why did you paint the hood and deck lid at this point in the build? I'm not being critical - I was just wondering.

I took it to a car show and I wanted to show the color it will be painted.

1972



How it looks today

First off I love the roof graphics on the 69 drag car. That just pops out I think its awesome.

Second....what are your plans for the door handles on the 68? I shaved the rails on my 65 coupe that im doing and im tucking the bumpers but cant decide whether or not to shave them or not. Just wondering what your plan was because I like the look.
