Its a "on again, off again" relationship

Life has been BUSY these last 4 weeks, which is good, because putting these fenders on and off the car AGAIN (in the cold) will not be fun.

given that each rear fender is (was) 3 pieces (stitched together) I am fairly happy with the results..




a few more weeks till I can refocus on this project..






already liking the air ride..

Mark.. is the Man.

A few weeks ago my friend Mark T called and said he found an "old hot rodder" with "alot of old hotrod parts".

This "old hot rodder" was in the process of moving, and was looking to unload some stuff.

My interest was peaked when I heard that a pair of 39 ford doors and a 39 deluxe hood were in the mix, so Mark went ahead and set up everything up for both of us to visit this past week.

Although I was more than an hour from home, it turned out that I knew the "old hot rodder" in question, as he had previously had a business 5 miles from my house!

Unfortunately, the 39 doors turned out to be 49 doors,



BUT

the 39 deluxe hood turned out to be a 40 DELUXE HOOD,

Which coincidentally was exactly what I had been searching for since August.

The "old hot rodder" didn't exactly give the hood away, but given that I needed a good hood I think I did A - OK..



THANKS MARK

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE

THESE ARE NOT RIGHT!



the "correct" upper gate holders are available from a reproduction outfit. (and I think they are 165.00)

these holders, are very similar..



and were 5.00 at a boat show I attended a few years ago..
