And now, it's up on wheels, and I put the manifolds back on the engine. Yes, the chin spoiler was a snow shovel at one time.

Great resurrection of lots of wonderful builds.
Chuck, that has to be the longest rat rod I've seen . . . it's sleek and perfect. Keep it going.

That's the idea. Community builds are always a good motivator. And as for "get er done", man I hate cliche's.
That midget looks fantastic. Well done.

Got some work done on the 'Bird today.
Here you can see where I was working on my spindles...
I used styrene stacked up to drop the spindles.
Checkin' to make sure my spindle is centered in the wheel where I want it...
