I'm sure it will turn out cool DP1. I hope you update the progress here. I like the color combo plans. What are you gonna call this one...Cherry Nehi?

hahaha gastrick maybe name it. purple flurp. ha.

Had to get it off the stand for some mock up. Had a swap meet in Monroe yesterday, and picked up a few things. Found out that 53 desoto spindles fit perfectly on 42-48 ford front axles. kingpins are identical, and spindles with new wheel cylinders shoes and hoses cost me 20.00. killer deal.
Also decided were going to make it right hand drive, thru the cowl.
