Greets, Joe

 

Looks like very nice workmanship so far. Curious to know, is this a car that was sold new in Holland, or is it a car that was imported from the US recently? Planning to make it red again? Looks like it was turquoise originally.

 

Keep up the great work!

 

only advise you need is.....Dont stop! looking good

 

good looking work, also like the flag

 

good metal work, looking good, keep it up. had one back in "71, traded it for a motorcycle..... bad move, no brain no headache!!!!

 

Looking good! Evidently a really nice, solid body to work with if that´s all You had to do in the way of metalwork. What kind of primer are You using?

 

Hey Joe, looking good! Where in Holland are you?

 

Looks nice, I know how hard it is do that kind of work when you are not in the US.

Ziet er goed uit, ik kom uit het westland maar woon al jaren in de states.. Run hier m'n eigen hot-rod en restoratie bedrijf.

 

Coming along real nice.

 

Looking good! A set of chrome reverse wheels with pinner white walls would look nice and not be too expensive.

 

Yes, website is http://www.hrclassiccars.com . maybe we should talk about export/import of cars/parts to Europe? with you as the agent?

Dutch nationals buys here, we do the restoration/modification and ship to Rotterdam/Amsterdam with you as the local agent?

 

Looking good Joe, but we need more pics!

 

Looks good.
Im putting together a '57 210 wagon at the moment also alot of work but alot of fun.
Keep it up!

 

man looks like your doing an exceptional job.

 

Lookin good! The short lining shoe goes in the front tho not the rear like this is.
It also looks to have the crossbar peice between the shoes missing etc.

 

Looks like you're making good progress, keep up the great work!

Today I loaded my old Chevy on a car-hauler, for a two tone paint job

A local car painting shop does the job, I did the preparation, pfffffffffff

We are verry curious, how he comes back

I can only imagine how much bodywork is involved in getting it to this stage. Exciting stuff! Any more pics?
