    It looks to be a little better than mine was, not trying to take anything away though. I love to see them saved.

    Im with you ive saved several most people would of walked away. I was lucky with this car. It was an old drag car. Fenders and doors are solid no metal work at all. The quarters were cut for larger tires. Roof was all dents from the hood being placed on it. I ended up just going with skins and rockers from cars inc. This is probably tied with a 67 chevelle convertible i did for sheet metal replacement.

    That really looks nice! It also looks like you're not too far off from getting it driving. Can't wait to see some pics of it "in the wild".

    Beautiful masterpiece, and I LOVE your 4 carb application. Lot of metalwork, much appreciated.

    Daaaaaamn! That's turning out really well... the satin & gloss contrast is perfect! I'm wondering what the stance will be?
