Had a great time and alot of attention was drawn to the car, as soon as it got parked there was many questions asked about it before I could even crack open a beer. I was approached by Mr. Rick Zink of British Car Club of Miami and he went over the car with great detail, the V8 Healy next to it is a glass race car body and tubular chassis with a small block Ford mated to a C4, The Blue T-bucket is a good friends that started his build about a year after I started mine.

Thanks! I guess the trade off would be all the high humidity and having to derust everything time and time again from rain, sweat or beers.
It was a great learning curve, using so many great ideas from here to come up with a goal, and follow through. Plus learning metalshaping was a bonus as well, I'm no pro by any means but more of a Jack of all trades.
I hope to get some time to complete a few things and get the how it was done article going soon.
Thank You All for your support and inspiration!
