Nice vibe going on with this one.

Off to a wicked start..

Glad to see this back in the fold, fantastic so far.

Digging the reflections the paint, smooooth..

Clean street rod.

Great paint and construction! All Enzos should be that color!

Great weathering James, proof you have polished up and beat down on lock. Amazing detail on this one..

Nice paint Carl, good enough to cruise...

Must echo everyone else's thoughts, digging on that paint job. Great rattle can work.

Ha! Word of warning, I'm still single because of stunts like that!

I guess you do, but considering that a near 70 year old tatty, worn out original is fetching much more than 100 dollars on Ebay, 50 dollars for a perfect reprint on most everything Post wrote on the subject is a bargain. One of the things I love most about the custom/hot rod lifestyle is the history. And these books are the genesis of Kustoms. Still, no beer money the week I ordered them..

The Rodder's Journal may accept a wire transfer if you ask them.

Nice low number! 697. Steve Coonan's hand must've been sore..

You always lay down some smooth paint Shane, this one included.

">http:// The Rodder's Journal published ALL of Dan Post's Restyling guides including the famed and illustrious "Blue Book" and very early (1944) mimeographs. Just got my copies today, and man, talk about being inspired by these archaeological finds! Best thing for us model builders are the many hand drawn illustrated "how-to's", plus tons of pics of how it really was, many pre-Hot Rod magazine! This reference material is well worth reading through the sometimes archaic 40's era prose, but tips on channeling, chopping, sectioning, and slamming (my term, not Dan's) 40's and early 50's iron will surely inspire you to get something old on your bench. If your a custom fan, I'm sure you've heard about this release. Believe the hype and get a copy. My build is on hold until I burrow though these manuals, then its off to find some early post-war kits!

Wow!! This my kind of build! Killer all day long. Any pics of the front/rear ends? Sweet taillights, we wanna see the grill work!

Man, that thing sits loooww... I dig the trike idea, but that design would look way cool with 4 wheels. Either way, keep at it.

Welcome back to the hobby! Good luck with the save.

Skills to pay the bills, Larry would be proud.

Wow! What an inspired build, great color. Goes nicely with rolling stock.

Killer truck Richard!

The truck just jumped out at me, a striking, clean build with a perfect stance!!

Awesome, clean build. It looks great stock, but I cant help imagining what a nice mild custom this would be...
