Joker Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Your in progress work is in my eye the best part of the build. Lots of detail work that will be hidden with body panels and paint. Thanks John for including the body work stage.

Dr. Cranky Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Oh wow, John, that's looking great. I'm thinking of building up one of these. I have one a friend sent me and I think I might join in on building one. I am going to go box stock though. This is another fun build and thread and I will be watching.

cobraman Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Coming along nicely. Love the valve cover wing nuts.
Jdurg Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Very nice! Always feels good scratch-building something that comes out good, doesn't it?
Alyn Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Nice to see one of these Big T's being built at such a high level. Fantastic and very instructional work as always, John, but a huge pat on the back for taking on this project in the first place. Who else could accomplish such excellent work at this pace.
