    Dr B, it's looking great! That Ford Blue engine color looks awesome. It's like what car designer, Chip Foose, has said on one of his car TV shows. The engine is like the diamond ring wrapped around the pretty little box. In your case, you have both! Keep the photos coming. They give me motivation to keep going on my project. (y)

    Great job there Doc. It is always impressive seeing one of these old Fords coming back for another round. One day my trucks will get the same treatment. :yahoo:

    I sure hope so! We have been slowed with the drive train install. Once that is done, I hope it goes faster.

    How about this as a 'Summer' target? Technically, still Spring, but it is after Memorial Day. And it's pretty close to you. The car would be a HUGE hit there, for sure! :yippee:

    Around four months out, which sounds like forever. :49:

    We were watching the original Thomas Crown Affair yesterday (1968 version), and low and behold, there it is, except with Woodgrain! Looks great with bags of money being thrown in and the rear window rolling up! :biglaugh:

    One of the nicer 'stir sticks' that I've seen in awhile. Should put the pedal to the metal rather stylishly. :biglaugh:

    The good Doctor is going to need to travel with some mirrors to place underneath between trips. Can't wait to see some more of this coming together.(y)

    Hey $arge! Are you back home yet? Planning any car projects this year?

    He'll give us the pics, but he's right. That last bit of prep work, before starting her up, just points out all the details we forgot.
