    I finally finished the painting this week..YAHOO!!:D

    Did I ever mention that I really hate body work, well I'm positive about it now. Now it's back to wrenching and getting this POS back together.

    Here's a little tease pic to give you an idea of the color...I'm real happy with how it turned out! The whole thing still needs color sanding and buffing, but I'm just happy the painting is done. Did I mention I hate body work!
    I don't remeber who recommended that I should have flipped the louvers over when I lowered the spears, but I went back and redid them. They look a lot better on the car flipped.

    The dust and runs will have to wait, cause I need to get out of this frikin garage and hit the road with it! :D

    Nice Ride!

    One question, though... I noticed the angled walls. Are you building it in the attic?

    So....... come on !!! Where's the finished pix,Keith? I can't wait any longer !!! You been teasing us long enough.

    I've been helping Jimmy C. with the '37 C-dan (the guy you gave the fuel filler to) and we're hoping to have it on the road this summer in primer.
    I've made some changes to the Red Rooster that you should like.I hope to see you sometime this year.

    Thanks all for the compliments, I really appreciate the motivation they give me.

    Now that I'm putting this POS back together, I can't believe all the stuff I never finished 2 years ago when I first got it on the road in the hotel parking lot across from the Rumble!:D Now I'm trying to remember what the hell I was thinking when I laid everything out, so I can finish the puzzle this time around. I'll blame it on all my buddys that might have forced me to kill a few brain cells! haha

    More to come...
