    how do you keep from falling into the big hole in the floor? That would be good for at least one trip to the hospital a week at my house.

    Ohhh but he's SO cute! Ahhhh hahaha!!

    I kept trying to find ways to eliminate that trim on the rear gull wing........after seeing them all clean and chromed I guess I need to change my thinking.:rolleyes:
     
  6. Rodding28, I had to callmy wife in and show her the photos of the lil'one working on the car. I have been telling her that my daughter needs to learn, but she says that 15 months is too young. I am trying to convince my wife to do a pink toolbox for a dresser for my daughters room.

    Keep up the good work on the car, my family will be watching the build. Our family car (55 fairlane is a bit behind yours, but I try to work on it every week.

    I am quite envious. That is ruling. How about some matching louvers in the front lower license area? It would go great with the rear bumper tin, and your dash speaker (which is awesome) I took my front bumper piece out on my wagon and put in a chrome air tank for extra airbag capacity. Kinda tacky, yet functional, and mildly unsafe.
    Your car is awesome,

    brandy - the gril is done by now -- maybe I'll add a small bar to it - but later - at that moment it should stay this way
    -in natura it looks better than on pics - but still clean and simple
