Default Whitey is starting final build

Our fabricater Dave "Whitey" Brown is starting his assembly of his first "hot rod". He kinda went a little over the top for a first car......
A couple pics of the shell and some parts waiting to get put together.

Whitey has done all the work on the car with a little help from some of the other guys. Whitey is one of our fabricators. He also painted the car. This car was actually started before Roofer Dave's car and much of the build is similar.

Kevin, he starts on OT next week to finish some paint work that is behind. He did drag the rear end under it today on lunch and I started checking out the engine before it goes in.
