Yes, I did give her a bit of a patina, and it's hard to see the full extent of it in the pictures...but I'm really happy with it. Just ordered a complete wiring harness for her today, so hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to install that and not worry about her!!! I drove her to work...

Willowbilly...what does this mean?

Nice Truck!!! Cabby...she looks sweet!!! Nice work man, keep it up. Once you get the truck all rattle canned, you'll be able to look at it for as long as you want before you patina it...decide what you think will look best, but IMHO go for the patina

Haven't seen the new issue but... Here's a pic of a family car. This belonged to my grandfather and his brothers...circa 1960.

I believe in GOD, but not in organized religion! I'd rather translate the word myself instead of just accepting someone else's translation. Brotherhood is good, but I find no reason to pay for it.

I've repleced the aftermarket carb (Rochester Monojet) that was on my 48 Dodge Town Sedan when I bought it, with a Ball & Carter 1bbl. Good news: It starts right up (no spraying starting fluid in the carb like before) Bad news: It races instantly to a really high rpm I've adjusted the idle...

Custom Cabby... Ya, I did the lettering, it's an homage to my grandpa and his brothers who had several drag cars in their day where I grew up in Fort Dodge, IA. Here are a few of their cars...
