    Two things immediately come to mind here... While I'm not quite sure why you have decided to make this modification, I certainly see the risk and difficulty involved and I applaud your willingness to plunge into a task of this sort. The second thing is the fact that you have two builds going at the same time, the other being your '37 Ford which is also build thread here in the CARS category. I thought I was the only guy here crazy enough to be doing more than one project at the same time. Of course I have an excuse, I have S C A D S, (Senior Citizen Attention Deficit Syndrome), which basically mean's that I tend bounce from one thing to another. Unfortunately, I don't seem to possess the speed you have. Just about everyone here that has a thread going is faster than I am.

    Later Man...
