Welcome Rob. We always enjoy photos of projects in progress.

Start a build log! My wife gets mad because she can't understand how I can read about how multiple guys build the "same" car. What are your plans, anything custom? powerplant? Paint scheme?

Good to see your post, Robin.

I have a feeling that we'll be seeing you pretty often due to your work's proximity to the RF factory, which is a good thing.
We should be able to work together closely on your build and from the camera I saw you with the other day, I recon their might be a few images taken on the build!

Welcome aboard and we'll catch up with you later on today.

Cheers.

J.

Hi all thanks for all the kind words
The plan is to build the best car i can build sraight up ,paint will be black and silver or maybe white stripes ,roll bar, six piston arp brakes ,custom finishes everywhere. as i am a custom muscle car guy ( i have a 63 impala 502bb custom paint big billet wheels ect ) you we see a bit of chrome braided hoses every where lots of custom touches , the plan is to have the car completed in 18 months or sooner if finaces permit , i will start a build log shortly

I wouldn't mind that at all. Not sure how long mine will take to complete, especially since I'm not sure how long until I'll be able to order my kit. I have a LOT of ideas that I want to incorporate, most of which I'm going to borrow from other members, but some are my very own as well. She really wants this chopped '50 Mercury kit I found online. Seems to be a pretty complete kit for the money. But then, by the time I get around to finishing the'40, who knows what she'll want, or if my kids will need cars by then?
