I came down with some sort of cold so as soon as I feel better and the snow melts, it snowed pretty good last night, I’ll get some outside shots.

We got a bit of snow over the weekend as well. It will be good to see this project finished up

So, the snow has been melted off for about a week now and the ground is pretty solid. So, she got rolled out and around the block a few times this afternoon. Drives really well. Still need to get the paperwork done but with the corona crap going on, they haven’t been able to do all the inspections. Once I get the paperwork done and have it legal to drive I’ll do some good test trips with her.

Man, she sure looks good outdoors.

Man what a great stance

Wicked.
Not a lot of people in the world can do what you can; take an armload of old and new tin and make a cool car out of it. Congratulations.
Good luck on the legal stuff.

Thank you everyone for all the compliments. This car is super cool and such a riot. I actually told Leslie that I would give her Copper and Sadie and keep Bonnie but she said f#%k no. So I guess I’m gonna have to build myself my own coupe eventually.

Good stuff JB. My domestic boss won't let me mess with her tire smoking pilot house, so building my own.

There’s more to my story then just that but we’ll leave it where it is.

Good evening guys and gals. Been quite a while since I’ve given anyone an update. It’s been a busy few years with moving, work, kids, etc. Finally getting back into things. I know a lot of you are on my FB page but for those who aren’t, the Essex got some new shoes and ended up getting top 20 at Ratstock this year. Shocked the heck out of me and my better half and I think it gave me the kick I needed to get back into the game. At least with medium size projects. This winter I’ll shoot to get the 31 Chevy going again and then I’ll move onto a few more things on the Essex; i.e. door panels and seats. Anyway, you all have a great rest of your weekend and hope to see you on the road someday.

Welcome back JB.

Congrats on the RatStock award...

I’ve lived all over the place. I grew up in California, stationed in NC after high school, moved back to California after my tour, then to Havre, MT for 10 years, and now I’m residing in Ewing, MO.
