    You're an animal my friend...and I'm not talking about a lame bear I'm talking about like a Liger or a Rabid Unicorn. I cannot believe my eyes.

    God I hate sanding, and all those character lines on a 34 has got to be the worst, I applaud you for what you've made.

    Thanks fellas!

    Yea, I hear ya Nads... sanding... definitely my least favorite part of working on old cars. I actually don't mind the detail work as much as working large areas flat. That gets quite dull in a hurry.:(

    That's why I decided to tackle the roof first. It's easily the roughest part of the car so I knew it was gonna take some broad strokes to get flat. Glad it's out of the way, the rest is gravy.:cool:

    Can't even begin to say what I think. Cool and awesome might suffice. Al @ PCT would be proud of you. :D
     
  22. Man that floor looks like outside at the moment, I think you better put snow tires on for that drive. Looks good with a coat of filler too and Leroy is not eating, what a sight..lol

    Thanks again fellas, can't say it enough, glad you can get a kick out of my efforts here. Speaking of which... my arms are sore! Both doors are finished and in primer, roof and cowl are FINALLY ready for primer... gonna try and garbage pick a mattress today to roll the body over on to sand the quarters and lower areas... wish me luck!
