Looking good!
I'll bet that short wheelbase could be a bone shaker if you got on the wrong road! I had a '58 Binder with a wheelbase similar to yours. There was a concrete road near here and the seams in the concrete were exactly the same spacing as my wheelbase! Anything faster than about 30 mph and your head was hitting the ceiling, it was bouncing that bad!

Very nice. All you need now is a set of Repo. fender, and step rubber. Jim Carter has them.

51 chris What a cruiser !! Great job,Nice color, If it was me would switch right on over to straight propane. However would need hard seats and some other stuff. They tell you not to run a propane carb upside down ! Like HRL says someone has to prove you can do it !!! Why don't you have cab marker lights ?? Really looks good at night with park/ marker lights on !!

51 Chris I mostly go to the coffee shop before daylight mornings,so go out and fire-up with markers on so I can see to get around AD trucks look so good with markers,3 bar cluster and park lights on. Once the alternator primes, can take-off just take it easy till the oil warms-up a little ! Ithought all COE's would have markers.
