Thanks, Jordan.

I wanted to paint it all black, but I had to let my wife make some decisions.

you'll have to pre-order them because they don't keep them in stock

Jordan,buddy,
Gracefully IGNORE the smart asses with negative comments, seems there 4 of them in every crowd! They're probably just jealous.
It takes a hell of a lot of talent, skills, planning, etc, to build a car of that caliber. Safe, dependable, comfortable, and as beautiful as any high points car out there. My hat's off to you for your accomplishments. (}- |>
If I've lost points with some folks out there, I don't REALLY CARE. Bill W.

Very nice car! I like pretty stock cars but like you said its yours to do with as YOU please, and I would love to have a driver like that! It looks very road and tour worthy and you would certainly make the rest of the pack jelous on a long club tour. I think its great that the public gets exposure to our cars and our hobby seeing something like that on the road. Nothing is irreversable on what you've done and you've set it up the way you want it. Nothing wrong with that!

Shame on anybody that criticizes that car. Nice, it's yours, I assume it's paid for, you're proud of it. What more could anyone ask. Mine's a driver and I'm not ashamed to park next to anyone at a show. Last year parked next to a VERY nice 31 roadster, guy probably paid on the high side of 26/27K. Comes over and asks me very quietly with his hand over his mouth: "Does yours leak?" NOPE. I smiled for the rest of the day/NICE CAR!!! and i like the AC>

Beautiful car and story. Thanks for sharing.

Great Lakes Greg · 02-16-2012, 06:49 PM

Your right, I do hate it...not being in my garage.

Milton · 02-16-2012, 07:55 PM

I got no hate for the car, I like it. While I was checking out the surge tank, same as mine, and the coolant viewer pipe I noticed the blue masking tape on the radiator shell. Out of curiousity, what's it for? I understand MYOB so, if that's the case, you can just cut and paste it in your response to me, if that is the case.

Buz · 02-16-2012, 07:57 PM

I like your car, very unique. What's the color combination?

rickmass · 02-16-2012, 08:03 PM

Jordan nice looking car i see why you are proud to say it is your car.Rickmass.

its cardboard blocking off part of the radiator, so the car can operate at a decent temp.

RcT · 02-16-2012, 09:08 PM

Stock wheels, blackwalls, not really over-accessorized and a very handsome looking vehicle that appears correct. I personally think the work is very nicely done, and suits your needs and desires. May you have many miles of safe and trouble-free driving ahead of you. You have very right to be proud of your car.

OK, that makes sense, I forgot that in the winter there ain't much between you and the Artic Circle but barb wire fences.

It's suppose to be Chicle Cobra Drab, but it's not exactly right. Chicle Cobra Drab is just like Ford Maroon--everyone has their own idea of what it's suppose to look like.

columbiA · 02-16-2012, 10:56 PM

Beautiful car Jordan.Similar colors to my 31 S/W sdn.I dont care for alts under the hood,but in your case it,s justified!Neat dual carb setup,if theDD one or fuel pump fails,you still have the the old faithfull one to get home on LOL.

Dusty · 02-16-2012, 11:35 PM

Sorry man but your car completely SUCKS! I will come down and take it off your hands to save you further embarrassment, no sense in wringing your hands over a car nobody likes. I can come down this weekend but I would like to make sure the four speed has been installed before I pick it up.

Making room in my garage.
