SO looking forward to this. Thanks for posting, Frenchy. I'm assuming that you're referring to the Cars & Coffee event (where we've met before?).

Also, did you see my reply to your post on this thread?

Frenchy,

Good for you.  Your Hot Rod Lincoln will turn some heads.  You did a nice job on creating a traditional rod with that V12. Have fun! Too bad you will not be in town for the huge cruise night on Central Avenue in Phoenix, from 1pm to 9pm.  A lot of people would really like seeing a rod like yours.

     Rick yes the NSU is been worked on as we speak. Thanks to DKP and DKK members for your support at the Cars and Coffee in Irvine this past Saturday. I was amazed how many people were taking pictures and beyond them selves about the 32 it is only a car with a funny engine.  Friday night was a great turn out on Main street in Garden Grove all together 115 cars or so I was told by the promoter that showed up. The the best was at the end of the night I received the BEST of Show award. And Saturday after Cars and Coffee I went to another car show in Chino valley and received the first place award in all it was a great weekend spend with friends and a lots of great comments about the car. Now time to move on the the next project.

     Thanks
    Frenchy

Frenchy,

I would not be surprised if you won something at the show.  When is it?  I'm thinking of driving over for it. Went last year and loved it.  I have no doubt they will put you in a prime spot.  You've done an incredible job on the roadster.

Very cool '32.  I think its cool that you're into "cars" - venturing outside ACVW's.  One of my desires is to build a '40 Ford truck with a flathead.  I really like the overall look and detail of your '32.  Very nicely done.  I'd love to see and hear the car in person.   8)

   Here are the additions to the car. I had a good friend air brush the two Pin Up girls to the 32 Hot Rod this past week. There is going to be a back ground which I will be posting later. On the left side I will have the name ( Miss Jacqueline ) and on the right ( Lil Violette in memory of my Grand Daughter who past away this year of Leukemia just a nice tribute to Violette.

 Thanks

Frenchy - Your cars always have that "something" that makes them stand out.  Your '32 also has "it".  Great work and attention to "Detail" as always!  Best of luck at the Roadster show!
