Sorry for the last post, I dont know why the pics stopped working. Anyway, it's a chopped '31 coupe channeled over a shortened, double Z'd Duesenberg frame with a sectioned duesy radiator shell (complete with old rag cap). Mill is a Pontiac 389 with 3 deuces. Wood floors, worn bench seat, Moon tank and gauges, tach, and a battery located out back. Pieces from 36 different kits were used. I originally built this car as a stocker when I was very very young and came accross the remains of it from the cowl back when going through some things, so I took what was left apart and scratch built it up the way it is here!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
