I'd really like to have it done by the end of May, but hope to drive it to BTT50's for sure.  Time will tell.  Tim....have you decided on your bumpers yet?  I see them laying on the floor in your "tire" pic.

Joel...I fall in love with them all, drive them for a few years, and then it's time for a new love affair.....so many cars.....so little time.

Only problem I've had is I always say I won't sell one till the next ones done.....but have yet to follow through.  Hopefully this time.

Hopefully you will follow through this time... I guess you're never too old to be a mixed up kid wondering which car he really wants!

You bet.....been thrashing the last few days.....cruised around town a couple times and drove it to breakfast on Mon.  No hood or interior and lots of quick "couple bolts will hold it on" technology, but I hope to give Gene a ride in it Sat.  And I brought back my old SEM vinyl paint white walls for the front. :)

When I haven't been blowing or shoveling snow I've been back at the '35. Headliner all made and in. Finished the carpet today. Door and quarter trim panels are next.

Interior's done!
« Reply #134 on: March 31, 2011 3:26 am »
Finished up the interior last night. Tonight I fired it up for the first time in 3 months. Amazing how quiet and nice a car sounds when there's an interior in it.
