I tried to zoom in on the plaque, but cant make out the smaller letters.

Honky Lips...haha. I love that.

That car is a copy, the mirror on the right door is a clue, the luggage rack is wrong too, apparently other people are as twisted as I am and have been building these things too!!!!

You TOTALLY have to find some vintage luggage for the roof rack dude!

You're gonna have a great shot of getting in Hot Rod Magazine with that I betcha!

Are you going to have it in Lincoln? I wanna get some shots of it, that's amazing!

Well I'm packed and ready to go!!! I'm leaving for Little Rock about 5am tomorrow. Power steering pump is doing weird things, but I think it'll be alright, might put a spare in the car just in case. Anyway if your on Power Tour stop by and say hi. See ya there! Eric
