Quick work and very pretty too. Engine looks great nestled down in the frame. Those lugnuts are awesome. Can’t wait to see this thing up on its wheels. It’s very beautiful wheels.

You got the motor looking right at home! Those lug nuts look pretty cool. Have you used them before? I'm interested to see how they look when the wheels are mounted.

I'm looking forward to seeing this beast with those wheels as well Kyle but am being really careful not to just blow through this build even though it is a kit that can be built in mere hours if one just wanted to. Thanks for the good word bub.

 Thanks to you as well Brent. I have used them before on my '41 Willys "Demon II" build and they make all the difference in the world. 

A bit more progress with the trailing arms and front radius rods. Also got the rear shocks in as well as the front brake rotors. The suspension on this thing has a TON of parts and most are visible once it's all finished up. I also painted up the intake butterfly center shaft which help set that all off a bit.

Nice looking radius rods. Always important on a hot rod. And i love the butterfly rod. A very simple but important touch.

Hey Joe, this is coming along nicely and it is looking great! This build is gonna be awesome when done.
