Ahhh....the sweet pursuit of building a hot rod. Just think of the experience you are getting.

well thank you sko. Chrome? never thought about it. We'll see how it turns out. Would new chrome look good on a scuzzy car?

pics. You may be thinking "is he putting curved glass in there? His cardboard is curved." The frame is not perfectly straight, but not as curved as the curved cardboard makes it look. I hope its straight enough.

I'm cutting the outer posts down about an inch or so when I get the glass in. Til next time. . .

see, what that was was reverse psycology on myself. I got a lot of other more important shit done (like the cooling system, windshield frame, body bracing, etc.) when I declared "the engine running would be the next thing I accomplish." Besides, the battery was dead and is charging at Trandem's and I never get to the shop until he's closed and gone.

So, to answer your question: No. I need to wire the ignition. We all know I'm a f'n genius at that. My chevy truck still doesn't run.

Lol!
On the HAMB they were saying some sort of chrome paint actually looked pretty decent. I can't remember what brand.

Alclad.  They use it for model cars.  Looks pretty good I guess- I don't know how durable it is though.
