Its been awhile...but some new pics....

Well, the fenders aint wheeled yet, I'm doin it tomorrow, but I had to set it on for some pics lol! But its gettin there, still gotta paint the hood and STILL waitin on the chrome for the side glass. I dont like the front tires, but I'll wait for a bit and get somethin taller when I got some extra cash!

I'm sooo proud of this thing man, I cant believe after 4 years its finally comin together and its COMPLETELY home built...well, except for the sewin on the seats lol...and the help of a few friends of course!!

I've had "perma-grin" all night!

That is beautiful. Where did you buy the aluminum clamp you use to clamp the brake lines together? I've been looking for ever for some of those.

Nice ride!

I am using those clamps for both brake lines and steel braided fuel lines. They are readily available at most any speed shop, street rod shop, on-line vendors etc. Made for You makes the plastic material ones, but can't remember who does the aluminum ones. Do a little search and they should be easy to find.
