  • Thanks, Ray!

  • I love that thing, Unc!
  • Thanks, Doug.  It's a good old beast with a lot of character.

  • Sweet diddly bow. Super vintage vibe with that hubcap!!!

  • Thanks, Ron.  I bought this one on ebay some years back.  It's in only fair shape.  I splurged a little, but have been glad I did.  I think I got for 40 some dollars.

  • Been wanting to build one with the Terraplane hubcaps. I keep watching for them but they have been out of my price range. First one I saw belonged to Seasick Steve. Wanted one ever since.
