Brian's paint booth is empty so I hope to move it in there and start scuffing for paint! Keeping my fangers crossed.

Man you are doing a great job! It's undoubtedly going to look great when done. I too think the single round light looks good. Gives it that retro look. Funny back then the in thing was to convert to square lights, now we convert to round. Gone full circle!
Cool name too! Now with the black paint job, put some ghost flames to live up to the name!

Richard It will be flat street rod black with flames, but not ghost flames.

No..it won't be done before then. Maybe Butler or Keystone. I don't know. My cousin is an awesome carpenter...I'm going to run it by him to see if he'd be interested in putting the interior in.
