    9136 is done!

    Build #9136 is done! Received the kit on July 17, 2017 and she received her license plate today.
    After a few set backs, and lots of help, she has 86 miles already!
    Big thanks to Mike Forte and Ken Pike for their help and support and also to fellow builder, Greg Allan, who spents lots of time under the car with me.
    My 12 year old daughter/co-builder is so excited to put some miles on the roadster and then get going on a '33 in 18 months!
    Gotta go before she drives away!
