Happy B-Day!!! I'm grandfather to an 18 and 21 y.o. Sometimes it's difficult for us old folks to remember what it's like to chase a dream.

Stuff my dog says; on second thought I'll just build a race car

The nose piece is made, now I can get started on the actual grill. Or the other side exhaust piece. Or remaking the windshield frame in stainless. Or maybe even touching the largely unmade seat cover again.....it's good to have options.
Just as well I offered no advice.
On the basis that bumpers are ugly, I have no plans for bumpers.
Not even nerf bars or push bars?
No, the ends of the double tube frame stick further forward than most of the rest of the stuff and that's enough for me. Though really the tires are still the furthest forward part. And I have no clue how you'd do anything in the rear without ruining the look back there.
One of the most beautiful cars ever built, IMHO. I'd rather watch sprints and midgets in practice than anything NASCAR is selling.
That's good, this is better
Equal. I restored (paint and body) a '46 Novi for the Brumos Collection a while back. Not nearly as pretty as The Boyle Special. That Maserati was one of, if not THE prettiest Indy cars ever.That's good, this is better
I just meant specifically in terms of no bumperette. There are so many pretty cars over the years actually trying to pick out "Best" seems a fools errand. But yeah, I'm a no bumpers guy.
this too, as long we're posting pretty cars
I don't think I be parking that one at the local Wally Word lot! But then I tend to stay away from there with my 2011 Rave4!this too, as long we're posting pretty cars
I was really hoping for this for the grillI was really hoping... for the grill
didn't get there
Looking at grill bar spacing tonight after finishing up the brake light wiring from last night. My initial thought of a pressure switch ended up seeming like a less than perfect idea given the adjustable brake bias so I went with a brake light switch from an early 50s Chevy truck reading off the top end of the brake pedal is.

Looks good. I see ya'll use American brand tape too. Less expensive than 3M and sticks better too.
Working on the hood grill for the exhaust side today. 30 pieces of stainless cut and welded together so far and I'm done for the night.
