Buildin' it his way, one piece at a time...
good looking build... love the old chevys, did you build a whole structure to replace all the old wood in the body?
Its a touch long for my taste but looks good...
I also would definitely be running front brakes...
the dash looks nice in there!

Dash looks good, wheelbase is way too long. That's personal taste though.
But beyond cosmetics - Put front brakes on it!!!
This is a safety issue, and a MAJOR one. Do not put that thing on a public road without them. It's not just your life, but others.

Since it seems to be the discussion, the length looks to be a function thing, but it does throw off the proportions a bit. I think the length is fine, but the rear wheels need to be way bigger - that would bring it all back in line.
And yeah, do a panic stop and see what happens.

cool car!!!!!
Just missed the bullets you were looking for.A guy on that auction site just sold his late fathers collection of WWII .50 cal bullets that had powder removed.I wanted some of them to make door handles, but I am spent out right now.They went cheap too.5-10 bucks,or something like that.
I like long length of your car.[drMy last T had 119 inch wheelbase.That is just my personal taste.

Very nice project. I have no feelings for the length, it's your car, do what you want. BUT, I agree with the others, FRONT BRAKES! It's refreshing to see something other than FORDS! perley

As all builds, the design flows as more is completed. I'll update with more photos after I mount the guns. I haven't settled on a new for it. Maybe "Rods & Guns for run".

Looks pretty neat. Are you in Florida? The landscaping in the background looks a lot like Florida.

I think it's in the wrong forum if it's a "build"

Since you are asking for opinions - Yes, it is too much.

pull over
point 1. we don't advertise when or what we have in the way of bang-bangs.
bad ju-ju
point 2. some people go out of there way to attract the police. having some thing like those and other such ''decrorations'' is just asking to be hassled/pulled over/put on the ''list'' and other unwanted attention.
so yes, get rid of them.

RED FLAG Alert.....
Might not be the reason to stop you, but certainly they would be looking for any reason to stop you.... nothing illegal about...certainly not a "concealed weapon" but probably not the best thing to have hanging out the back...might even draw (excuse the pun) the attention of some unsavorie jokers looking to steal them.....
