Thanks for the offer to donate the use of the mold, however as you know, that's only a small part of a car. MyRideisMe.com's a long way away from building a car for promotional purposes. Thanks again!

Waay cool! I really appreciate a hand built piece of art. Lots of unique ideas. To me that's what this is all about, not the catalog cars or the double-back-taped plastic do- dads. You are an artist. Metal is your medium. Never stop imagining what could be -

Ron, good to here from you. Sounds like you are getting a handle on everything. I will have to go up stairs to view the you-tube clips, my wife's work computer won't let us access it. Can't wait to see the finished project. We went to a car show last Saturday that was a special invite for the magazine cover cars from last year, got our award and some real good night shots of the cars. Go to usainfocus.us and take a look at the pro-show series pictures. We have another show this weekend for the same thing but at another location. Keep me in the loop and send some updated photos. About the turnouts, Believe it or not, I have done the same thing. Only once, that's all it takes. Good to hear from you.

It's very easy to forget about this part of the country, it was -12 yesterday morning when I left for work. At this time I can't use the old radiator shell because the new radiator, (all aluminium) mounting tabs are 1 3/4 inches higher, and the radiator is a little smaller so it makes the shell to tall. I am looking at buying another shell and fitting it to the new radiator. It really doesn't look that bad without the shell.

Wait until it is completely finished and I will send you a good pic. The ones on the site now are not to good. It will look awsome. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, to much snow and I had a fuel problem that I had to fix. This was not as simple as I thought it would be to swap engines. One thing lead to another and before I am finished it will have cost me in the neighborhood of 5K. But it is worth it. I will also have a top for it by summer. Keep me updated with pics on your project.

Welcome to MyRideisMe! That's a wild T with a really cool history. Any interest in a feature article about it?
