Nice looking car. That is the perfect combo of stock and rod!
I'd like to know how you achieved that stance?

+1 on the stance! The front fender clearance is absolutely perfect.

Very nice roadster. I hope my 30 Av8 roadster will turn out that well.
Have fun driving it. I drive my Tudor 4 cyl. a lot and have put 16,000 miles on it since the rebuild.

Very nice, Brendan. The more pictures I see of it the better it looks. And 2X on the stance!
