Helipilot16 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) I have begun building the car that is shown in my avatar. It's a 47 Ford convertible. It was built by dick Graese in Loveland, Colorado in 1958. It's the most important car out of my past; even more important than any car I ever owned. I watched it being built and saw it win the Denver Sabers best in show twice in 60 and 61. It is in Minnesota now and it was painted green many years ago, but I will be painting it the original candy apple red. I am now waiting for the Olds grill from Modelhaus. They say it takes them 6-8 weeks to ship them, so the car won't be ready for NNL West. I have the 58 Chevrolet headlight rims molded in now and have reshaped the front end for the grill. Pictures will follow soon. Edited February 11, 2008 by Helipilot16
