Nobody ever said good things easily, or quickly, as anyone who has ever built his own car can attest. For the most part, once a car sits for more than a year or so, the chances for completion diminish greatly, yet this one car that prevailed, making it a rare commodity indeed.

By working closely with the car's owners, we
are able to provide an in-depth look at almost
every step of the build process. If you ever
thought something was beyond your reach,
this succession of photos may help you get
started on your project.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                        Many details are covered, and with every color photo you get a further                                                                          understanding of the project's intent, the effort put into its creation, and the                                                              the care that has been taken in refining the unique '31.

We considered ourselves lucky to have been able to follow the creation of this car, which had everything to do with the builders and owners keeping photo records to keep track of their construction process, In doing so, they brought many valued lessons to enthusiasts, some of whom can follow in the same tracks and build their own expression of unique rodding creativity.'31 Vicky Finished Project
