Thanks Okie, I am very happy with the way it turned out.
I made a booth in my shop with filtered intake and exhaust. Never painted before. This was my first one and I was using a 3M accuspray gun with a...

I just want to say thank you for all the advice I have received and all the information I have gleaned from this site. My car sold for near asking...
I replaced the inner and outer rockers and a couple cross brace ends on my 53. I made the ends and inner rockers. The outer rockers came with the...
Looking good!

Looks great. Nice work!
Very nice ride.

Persistence pays off. Well done!
Is your 9" the big bearing or small bearing version. There is a difference. Not sure if this is your problem. Small bearing measures 1.378 x 2.834...
Looks very nice.
Are your emblems all cracked or just missing color. I repainted mine using model paint. They are not perfect but good enough for me. [ATTACH]
I like them. Looks good
Or you could put some beauty rings on to break it up. This was how my car was before I tore it down and restored it. [ATTACH]
That looks really good. What did you use for the sound/heat material.
