    I need to finish my 26T coupe next but i'm busy collecting parts for the 34 altered, picked up a set of 4 Radir 5 spoke wheels the other day 2 x 5" & 2 x 10", real nice condition, bargain at £200 ($320) I'm well happy :D

    Prioritize is absolutely the operative word. Perhaps in combination with commitment, skills and vision. Now where's my beer....:D

    Langy, As one of the guys who is slow on builds or finding someone who can make my drteam come true - I agree. If you sit on your butt and hope for that dream hot rod - IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ! I do have some skill but just assembly and wiring. No fab etc etc. I do have a couple of guys who would trade work for some of my cars. This usually results in a hand shake - then no work gets done . . . Would be best if I just learned the basic fab skills.

    Yes, sorry, did not mean to be obscure, but exactly that. Always immaculate work and beautifully done but also so productive. Very inspiring.

    Got the body back on last night, once it was bolted down I blew out all the dust that had acumalated, once it was all clean i brushed and rollered a coat of blue epoxy on the inside to seal it, this is something i do with all my cars as it gives a nice clean finish when your working inside the car.

    Steve, what size wheels are you running on the rear?
    I know it's probably in here but I thought it would be easiest to just ask!

    WOW...Speachless! You constantly amaze me with this build. You are completing this build with the quickness but the attention to detail we've come to expect!

    Langy,

    Just found your thread last night. Couldn't stop... I have a glass-bodied project in my future, and this has been very instructional. Bravo!

    Q: May have been covered but, do you have a cnc flame-cutter or laser for some of the flat steel cuts? (brackets, flanges...)

    Fabulous! Keep it coming!

    Craig
