Beautiful paint job. I'm assuming there's an equally spectacular looking engine going in that big empty hole?

Paint looks fantastic! You must be thrilled. Thanks for sharing your picture.
I look forward to seeing it again when she is all finished.

I have to give credit to the guys at Whitby Motorcars. I can handle mechanical items, but not paint and body. I told them what I wanted and they made it happen.

Fantastic paint job..... the rod sits so darn hot, sexy, low and mean. And could you please tell us about those great wheels: make, model and F/R sizes.
Did you consider bike fenders for the front wheels? Would that have taken too much focus off the floating grill sectional and engine?
Thanks,
Da Bear

The wheels I am going to run are Foose Knuckle. I am running 18X7 on the front and 20X10 on the back. I did consider the bike fenders. I actually bought a set, however, I decided to stick with the old school Hot Rod look.

Those wheels will look great on this car. Still have the bike fenders??

I've been working on a mold for a grill surround like that. I will post pictures when I pull the first part off the mold.
Beautiful car Rod !!!!

I have had someone already inquiring and working on something. Let me see what happens.
