I built the wiring harness

safetyglass windshield, original side door windows that go up and down, rear windows are LEXAN

Car is painted with one quart of Rustoleum Flat black and one quart of Rustoleum Gloss Sunrise Red...mixed them together to get the color I wanted..added some enamal hardener and acetone..sprayed it on in my driveway with my old Binks siphone feed gun...total cost $32.00 for the paint job!!

Total out of pocket expense was $3980 to built this car. I started with no parts other than the 11 gallon fuel tank...everthing else was either swap meet, ebay or stuff purchased off of forums.


Here was the FIRST DRIVE video...nothing special..just a EASY cruise to make sure the car would stop, turn, shift....ect

pay no attention the WHINING sound...that was an electric fuel pump that I got rid off due to the noise!!! I now run a mechanical pump!

Thanks everyone....been a fun build...now building up a 31 Chevy Coupe with my cousin...will be starting a new "BUILD" in the build section this evening.

Soon as the weather breaks..going to take her out for some really nice shots...have a few places in mind...just gotta get rid of the snow on the ground!
 
Beautiful build!! I am from MA so I look forward to seeing your '30 at some of the local shows.
 
You have built what I would call a refined rat. And the wheel/tire combo looks perfect.

It will be a crowd pleaser![cl
