The stainless was from a car of unknown origin and cut to fit. The trim on the bottom of the doors is 57 Buick. It's amazing how quiet it is inside the cab, as judged by the shop radio. The wind lace sealed up the doors well.

Wow that looks great!  Nice work Mike.  It must feel good to be able to do most of that work yourself, something to be proud of.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Well no progress on the 32. Busy training at work and projects at home like everyone else.

Had a trip to Austin TX on Friday and saw Jimmy Vaughn at a hole in the wall. Got me thinking about the lone star round up in April. Just not sure what year.

On the way down I made a music video. My buddy that I have known since we had no wrinkles did the singing.

Damm,I love America!

He has fewer wrinkles than my friends. My goal for the '26 roadster is Lone Star Roundup 2016.

Sixball.

Ok that's my new goal 2016. I'll buy you a cold one at the Conental club! Hopefully I won't be viewing the world upside down then.

Logride. It's a date! If the roadster isn't up to the trip I'll take the '53. It did it a few years ago. The night life on Congress is worth the trip. ::) My buddy is taking his Fiat he claims one of the club owners "owes" him. I don't know if it's the Continental or not. ;)

Sounds good to me!

Doesn't look like much room for luggage in the fiat!

I got a few hours work in. Fitting the front fenders and grill. I'm going to take the grillshell in to get re chromed.

Did I mention this is my last car project. Has anyone here said that?

I bought 1940 hubcaps, you can put 49 caps on a 40 rim.

But not the other way.

Anyone need them? $100 shipped

I got a steering wheel at national Chevrolet in St Paul today.

I'm hoping I can use the 1950 collum tube of a parts car so the horn works.

I'll have to get splines on the steering shaft to match the wheel, if I put a keyway in the wheel it would be hard to index.

The manufacturer had a problem with cracking around the rim so I got quite a discount.

I'm planning on a black steering wheel wrap.
