What happened to the old wheels and tires? I bet some HAMBers would be interested in those bad boys!

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, it doesn't really fit here on the HAMB but I'm proud of it, I've been here for a long time, and I have a few friends here who ask about it occasionally.

I try to be respectful and not too obtrusive with updates.

I've done a couple in the last few years that would be considered "traditional" and fit here on the HAMB well. I love that style but I love a lot of other styles as well.

This one is being to be built to be driven long, hard, and often without much worry. That's "traditional" enough for me.

You talking about Paul's car? Hadn't really thought about it but he did/does run similar wheels.

Not traditional?? I remember an article on Jim Jacobs when he was restoring the Niekamp special and was putting a flathead back in it and Bill Niekamp couldn't believe he wasn't going to use a newer V-8 with more horsepower, because that is what hot rodding in the old days was all about. Traditional look, no. Traditional thinking yes. Love the car. Should make a great hiway pounder. Pat

Good to see what you've been up to. When you get it done I should trade you for your old '38 back and save you from this non-traditional road your traveling.

Lovin' this coupe. I had a 46 Ford 2dr Sedan.. but it just wasn't a coupe. The 47 will look real good, parked next to your El Camino.
