Hello to all. My name is Bob and I am from Missouri as the title says. I have been running offroad for a lot of years. and decided to build a street car with my son as he got old enough to drive. It turned into a whole different world for us but loving every minute of it. We go to most of the local events and a few distant events when times allow us. My son and I completely built this car in our two car garage except for the motor. Now I am on to a 63 sedan and a double barn door bus. It's a disease I tell ya! Here is a picture of our car.  |

Rick,
for the 63---- new floor pans installed
narrowed adjustable beam
clutch tube welded and 2 access doors made in tunnel
rust bullet done
all metal work done-as far as I can tell
ready to blast the body
1914 ready to go together-might change to stroked crank dual 45's
prepped swing axle ready to go in
for the bus---- I was supposed to pick it up last weekend but I came to Michigan bug run. probably pick it up this Saturday.
I don't have any pictures of either one yet.

MadMike,
That was quite a while ago but if I remember, it is a Kymco header. The ceramic has held up pretty good so far but the car never sits outside unless we are loaded to travel in the morning. Maybe 5 times in it's life. Nice meeting and talking with you Mike.
