Never thought i would sit and read thru 41 pages of a build, but man, this one rocks!! Only 10 minutes to xmas down here in NZ, and after all this reading i'm thinkin xmas might have to be a day to work on the car, can't afford to waste a day!!
Well, I'm impressed. I've heard most of my life that that's not easy to do so take it for what it's worth I guess. This type of craftsmanship is the juice for me. I like it way better than finish work. You've got it...the sickness. Good to get those ideas outta yer head, huh? Like little voices in mental patients. Seriously, I really like what you've done here. The details make it all work and can be missed by many. Thanks for postin it all too.
Dang fingers! anyway I now know I've got to keep the wing windows in my doors and I have three spare hoods so why not make 1 good one. Thanks!
