Here it is finished. Where to begin? All in all this is my favorite looking build I have made to date. The work totals around 25-27 Hours. Entire Frame, headers, seats, firewall, and interior pans were soldered using brass. The frame took about 5-7 hours alone over multiple days. The headers about 30-45 minutes each. The body took a very long time to smooth out due to the forward-slanting rake on the roof as well as it being sectioned. The Engines are 428's from George Barris' Raiders coach as well are the rims. The Body & Grill is a 32 Ford Found in my extra bin. The Gas tank (Scratch-built from 5 Mixed parts) and mirror also from the parts bin. Scratch built gear shift & knob. Cant really say I built a "Kit" because other than the body/grill, small trim parts, rims/tires, suspension, the rest is all scratch-built from materials. I used Alclad on the Soldered headers and Frame. Windows are made from thin clear plastic. Finish is a flat Black. Not sure what kit the headlights were from but hey were resting in the bin along with fitting Lenses. Engines are Wired and Have Plumbing to the radiator. I am very thankful the final fit was so good. The look was well worth the time and It was a Blast to put together! View ModelCody J.

I love this build. The only thing I would change is the steering wheel. I would love to see an old school dragster butterfly wheel in there. Great job.
I'm actually gonna do a WIP! Soon. I hope.

Thanks Guys. Can any admin tell me why 4 of my pictures were deleted. All are totally different and give neat views of the car.

Cody, I spent every free minute at work today looking over this build. It is really outside the box and it all came together nicely. Very nice work... ...  sprey My surname is Lane. Many streets in America are named after my family.

Awesome! I really like everything, especially the raked stance with the radiator leaning back and the roof tipped so steeply. Perfect.
I'm not just trying to start trouble...
