And subtle, love it. Are the fenders and running boards also steel? How did you get the body? Was this a long term project? Pardon the 3d. Degree, but it is interesting.
On different note, that twin spire church design is pretty wide spread, I remember seeing a similar church built in
Riatea , French Polynesia
Thanks again for sharing your Hot Rod with us.
Enjoy the good weather!

All steel, original frame with Tacoma front a real easy fit. Power brake booster is on the frame about mid car. Pan hard bar (anti sway) all nicely done by my good friend who can build one of these in one season (year). Car came to us fairly complete, but my friend is very skilled and can do anything, just about. The roof had a large soft portion in the middle, so we installed a jeep Cherokee roof. So it has those nice long
seams. Many subtle diffs that seldom get noticed, but the amazing thing is how it drives so darn good! I truly love driving this thing. I've had it 3 yrs and have 15,000 miles on it so far. I love my Porsche, but this thing gets ALL the attention. Thanks for the interest and the kind words. I show it so much on the PP forum that I'm sure most people are sick of looking at it.
