To me, the subtlety of the whole package speaks volumes. Its just "right." I admire the steady and constant effort to refine this car Tom. Can't wait to see the hidden hinges too. Repainting everything the same burgandyish color?

I like that design on your stone deflector.  Are you putting one on the front also?

I think you should turn that '41 into a parts hauler...:)


No stone deflector on the front. I'm not sure when they started on the front. They didn't have one in`41 when they started on the back. If I was changing the grill it might be possible but I'm leaving the stock grill.

As for the `41, it's a POS. I think it was the hardest car I have ever loaded. All 4 wheels were locked, had to drag it on to the trailer. Tracy and I were out of gas by the time we got it loaded. When I got home I took the front wheels off and broke the brake drums while the car was on the trailer. Used my tractor with the loader to lift the back end up and pull it off and move it around.

Thanks Pete. Yes, it will be a darker redish color with a white top.
