Welp. The gauntlet has been thrown.
Wow. Thanks so much for the update. Speechless. If this shot doesn't get your motor runnin', you might be dead inside. The shape, proportions and...
Would love to see the results you paid for but the old compression test is better than nothing. Seems fine, as all the experienced wags here have...
Fantastic thread, praying we have some new progress. OP is an incredible metal worker. Huge respect. Once you mess with original body lines it can...

Nothing to sell, hell, not even anything to offer except for praise and encouragement. Damn fine work and really nice thoughtful progress. Thanks...
Great save on that shoebox fender Ant Knee. It was ragged and you (and your students presumably) brought it all the way back. Hell yeah.
I don't have a lot of body work experience but a little. I've also had success with "bumping up the lows and knocking down the highs". Once you...
Good on ya [Moriarity]. Excellent routine. Keep it up. I worked at a bicycle shop as a mechanic/shop attendant in HS and college. During my...

Great score Jeff. It's cool when a car finds its way to the exact right guy. Excellent. That chrome being redone already is a Godsend. Stance is...

Love the e10/m10 - just a classic. Got mine from my pa in law who had it since the '70s. Nice CA car, I daily drove it in the '90s. I've rebuilt...
