(Yep and it really hurts...) Enough time has passed, since my heart attack that my wife doesn't look at me side-eyed expecting me to fall over dead.

Did your ex know my ex-wife too?

Yep, a definite CARtoons vibe...

Ace-Garageguy definitely is always teaching, I appreciate the information I've garnered from him for my own TRoG California Drags build. I hope to see you jump in on the build as well.

She turned out beautifully.

I want to thank everyone for the information and insight received regarding my question. I'm building a 29 4 banger for the TRoG California Drags build and it was pointed out that early hot rods had no "rules" and to be honest I'm doing a build representing a car built on a 90+ year old car using parts that were available approximately 60 years ago. So not making excuses but it isn't a "restoration" but rather an old hot rod. So, I guess it's solely up to me how "fiddly" I want to be on a detail which in all likelihood will only bother me or if I want to finish this build. Thanks again everyone!

Build and finish one is what my wife demanded when I returned to this in August.

20-something is a decade that is very murky for me personally.

I get it. I rather ask than not if I don't know something and there's a whole lot that I don't know.

He points to himself.

I had finally found a couple images during my break also, so just as well I had sanded it smooth. Yep, some scratchbuilding ahead.

Bodies can be sore easier than before at my age, just sayin'.

Will need to research more, I used the firewall from the Revell 31 Woody, because I'm adapting the chassis and most of the suspension from it. I'll post a picture when I get home of the damage done...

I don't know what they're called but those outward indentations on the firewall, any ideas on how to scratchbuilding them? In kit bashing the firewall I ended up having to sand them down smooth. Is it worth the effort or...? (Image of 1:1).

This is looking great!

Tracy, uh I meant Lacy, kit bashes like I dream I would like to when I grow up.

Can you dig it? Cool idea, well done.

Theory is one thing but experience is showing me that the styrene might be winning.

Attempts at kit bashing on my 29 Ford roadster is driving me up the wall.

What's so odd about super glue and paint all over your hands, I look down. Great build! She should be proud.

You could just take out the front inner fenders like they did with gassers...

Edit or things, which is the proper word to respond to?

Movie night used to be a thing...

Mine has changed to "But Did You Die?"

Bar-hopping would have been more fun than trying to herd pairs of each animal species, dumb rabbits anyway.
