    nice start to your new project,this is the fun stuff ,to start seeing your dream coming along, good luck thanks for sharing:cool:
     
  17. that paint scheme looks like a city truck,where'd you find it?? nice work on that visor it looked pretty crunched!
     
  18. Flop, I would love to know how you attacked the visor damage. Curious what method and thought process you used. Flat pick and ******* from outside of damaged area then inward?

    As always, I am impressed my your work and determination!
