That is the best quad headlight arangement on a 40's car I have seen.

Thanks for the pictures. Keep use posted with updates on your car and pictures. The third picture is a motivator alright.

What kind of drive train will you use?

Have a good day. Lee

i'm in Florence Arizona... 1/2 way between Phoenix and Tuscon.. I have been feeling better since my operation ... i can finally walk again .. still have some issues to get worked out from doc.. I think that i will be able to start working on car this year ... too bad that i had to spend all the money on trying to survive .. Doctor finally says that i'm permanently disabled .. so i guess that things will be done on the cheep ..

Hey bobjob, I'm up in Northern Phoenix. I know how the hot weather gets you down when it comes to working on your projects. I have to work in my driveway, but at least its paved, looks like you've really got it rough. The disability isn't fun, but you've got more time to work on the car! I can laugh, I'm disabled as well. Nerve disease and atrophy of the brain has me down (but not out yet!). We have a '56 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer we are trying to finish now and then its our '50 Hudson Coupe.

Real nice project you've got there and some great ideas. Adjust those if any you need to due to cash flow, and keep the ones that don't cost much! Great photoshops.
