    Have any of you looked at the last 3-4 builds this guy has done? Ever heard of the old saing "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"? This is the MAN for turning that old wives tale on it's head. I can't believe he ever sleeps as the worse the starting pieces the better the end result.

    Holy balls, that is some beautiful black paint!

    Good choice for your boy's name, as well. Looks like he's getting some quality garage time in with Dad. Rock on.

    You are the MASTER of bringing dead Fords back to life. Glad that '34 found you.

  18. Once again you have saved another one that someone is going to half to have and is going to pay you big time. I love watching you build thread's on the cars that you have saved so far so please do one on that 34 in the back ground.
