Walt, do you know where the headers were obtained? Trying to find some options for my '36. The battery provides a pretty good blockade. Thanks, Ed

ED, I used Reds Headers on my 35 and put an OPTIMA battery under the seat. Bob

Nice work Walt. Now I'll have more time for bass fishing when I come up. Looks like you won't need my help posting pictures. (grin)

The 41 woody is a long story, The guy who built it passed away about b3yr's ago. The opnly thing origanal is the cowl and front fenders. The whole running gear is a late Mustang V8 overhead cam, and trans and rear end with inderpendent axels like a Corvett, the wood is all hand made from a tree behind his house. My friend just reworked the Red in the front fenders and had the painted and the wood all varnished. Even the dash is wood. Walt
