    Jordan has it pretty much tacked together with the parts he has made. I had a cart sitting around so I built a stand to put the body on for finishing.

    I finished making the body section mounts on the roll cart, I then did a little pre prep on the metal while Jordan did some more tacking & hammer dollie work then he went over it with the DA & 80 grit. we then rolled it out side for a few pictures. It is really starting to take shape.

    Well Jordan is on his way back home to La area tomorrow & in the hunt for a job. Due to finical reasons as we all know in todays tight economy he is not taking the body home it is mine we worked a deal that worked for both of us. I will be finishing it up over time in to a driver. If any one is looking for a young talented metal person pm him or let me know & I will p*** it on.

    Thank you all for the kind words. Job search is well underway- I'm on foot pushing like 10 mils a day walking through every open garage I p***; Inquire dudes with slick back hairstyles aswell- Then that guy sends me to this guy and this guy to that guy. At least thats the case in the OC, Lot more going on than I'd expected. Now in in san gabriel But havn't found much.
