    FINALLY....
    when i picked up this body last April it was setting in a friends barn, roof was cutoff, no floor, firewall, wheelwells and all the lower sections rusted out. After chopping 7 3/8" and replacing all the panels along with fabbing our own floor, i then proceeded to sand more than any human should have to..I still gotta scuff and buff and then shes ready to be put on her chassis, I'll try and post pics of her in the sunlight because the metalflake in this is unreal.

    Damn dude, you're a real inspiration.

    I remember reading about that black car you built in like a year or whatever. It's obvious you do more working than internet surfing.

    This is gonna be a ab-so-lute stunning ride when completed. This color will be a so hot at sunset. Great sneek-a-peek. Hank Cash! One of those hottie's of your's need's some latex in this color. I got a spare tank and fender that may end up this color....just to hang on the wall.

    Did you do the bodywork and paint yourself? If so you are now knockin Barnett of his pedestal and replacing him as "da man". [​IMG]

    Seriously.....beautiful work.
    See guys....... flat black is not the only choice....learn to do bodywork and you too can have shiney-straight metal. [​IMG]
