Default Well it is finally done(almost)

Are they ever really done? Here are a couple of pics I took for the ins. company last week. Still had to install door handles and spare. Before the maiden voyage to Iola. A special thanks to my Dad for all his help and getting me involved in the hobby and his love of Model A's. Also to my wife and 2 boys 4-10 for putting up with my abscence for 3 years. Oh yes and I installed the horn. I can finally tell my four year old the Aooga isn't broke anymore.

I finished and started driving my 6/1/28 tudor in 1971 and I've been making it better ever since. Today I'm detailing it and changing a few parts to make it more correct for Vancouver. They're never done.

Nice job. You are correct, it seems like you are never done. I have only had mine "almost" complete for 3 or 4 months but am still working on it.

Hey that is a sweet ride!!! I too just finished my 29 Tudor or as I thought I was, we need to start a just finished post! But I guess everybody would have to post a picture because you are never "FINISHED" and that would be a long post so enjoy the ride and take the family out for a great ride! LOOKS GREAT!!
