[ATTACH] So, winters in Oregon means constant rain. Ive been working on indoor stuff and getting back to this when I can. The rear fenders were...
Just a quick update. I’m still hammering away on the body work. Picked up a shrinker/stretcher from HF to finish up some patch panels. And...
That one took me a bit to process, but I get what you are saying. I am assuming that you were able to come up with 2 AA cowl bands? That would...
Nothing quite like floral print to "class up" the driveway ;)
I see what you are saying. It was not quite that severe with the "A". The curve is not noticeable at all and the belt lines all matched up. I...

The body doesn't have to come up very much at all to slip out the splash aprons. I usually do them one side at a time. As for the rivets, I...
