Well.... can you do 'tweaks'? And can you do a few 're-dos'? Cause this wasn't even a full build --- it was just a light remodeling.

Turned out amazing Greg!

Are we going to get to see this (and you I suppose) in Pleasanton?

You'd be seeing it if the builder -- AKA S.A.R or Steve's Auto Restoration -- can get their act together and get the long list of "fix it's" done. When I told them I was signed up for that show and asked for it to be done in time -- Steve just shrugged his shoulders and said "it'll be done when it's done".... so at this point.... I'm thinking that means a miracle would be required. They have paint work to do... wiring issues to sort... gear grease to remove.... exhaust work...

Do you think you're having all of these "fix it" issues because they were scrambling to get the car done for the show this past weekend or do you think it is because SAR is used to building show cars and not cars that actually see some driving. I'm just curious as to why a high end builder would let so many things slip by. Car looks great by the way. Also, I just saw that you were located in Bellevue, WA. I was just in Seattle Monday and Tuesday.

Greg,

The 32 looks amazing! Sorry if she gave you a little trouble out there the first run, I think we all have been there with a fresh project out on the 101 freeway,oh the memories..**cue carpenters we only just begun music** The traffic wizzin buy at 80mph,the wife (in the pass seat) bitching about the sky and her hair being windblown,my heart in my chest in fear of being rear ended or worse,and all trying to lay upside down under my dash looking for a blown fuel pump relay fuse with no friggin working flashlight...yep..been right there my friend lol.

But all kidding aside the 32 looks incredible and I bet she is a hoot to drive! thanks for all the great pictures so far,get those little bugs out,summer is just started!

Oh..I think this would be another nice touch to your 32 engine bay....the one on the left actually.

A few emails back and forth today --- the good news... GREAT NEWS actually is that S.A.R. will do whatever it takes to get the '32 done and ready for me to haul to Pleasanton on June 2nd.... SO I WILL BE THERE.

I said they were a good shop.

Sometimes if I see a spider web... and in order to knock it down... I drive a semi through it. And I never take a breath!
