Holy crap! What a gorgeous transformation! Spill your guts buddy!...What kind of paint, engine work, etc. etc. etc.
If you're willing to divulge "private info"...how much did this empty your wallet? Just curious. If you're idea is to flip it
then of course you can't give away your "profit margin". Beautiful car, nice work.

This is a great inspiration to all of us procrastinators.
Beautiful 😍, Chip Foose and his crew couldn't do better!
I'm looking closely at the top and windshield . My roadster is registered as a 1925 however I found out through an observation on this website that my windshield and top were actually used on a 1922. With your car I can see how it's supposed to look.

Wonderful work Danny. That should be many years of fun. It looks great.

I also enjoyed the "Before" photo. It's a great example of another time. It is a delightful look that we don't often see. Imagine what it looked like just after that Green paint was applied. I received this radiator shell and a door from the previous owner of another bright and wonderful car. There were fond memories spinning in his head. As much as we enjoy our cars in our own ways now, there are many wonderful stories we will never know.

Both photos gave me smiles.
Thanks
Rich
When did I do that?

Danny,
Exquisite work in a fraction of the time it took me; I'd say you were seriously motivated. Looks like superb craftsmanship from here! Well done!!

I had a double post because of the date. I started the middle of 2017. I thought that time frame was still pretty good for an old man. It's single stage paint. Had Andy Loso do the engine. I took it down bolt for bolt and sand blast and paint. On disassembly, each section was bagged and labeled as to know what bolts went where. And lots of pictures. Paint by a local body shop. Oh it's a 21 by serial number, 22 by a title. Rebuilt the rear diff, & trans. Upholstery done by me. All new wood because it was pretty soft. New wiring, wheels by Stutsman.
