    If your hands aren't tore up you can still sand...Right?
    And maybe you should try some painting while your on the pain meds.
    I bet you'd come up with some far out stuff. Paint Fumes plus Pain Killers.

    Get better and get back to work. And, FWIW I like that baby Blue Color.

    Not much of a visual change, but it was a heck of a lot of work.. Getting the frame further ready for our good friend Gary wilson to get the motor mounts put in, he is an amazing mechanic, great at everything, he helped us build my parents 1927 model T hotrod. (The link in my signature)

    Got the hood primed the rest of the way! Pictures later, can anyone tell me what size brake pad goes on this truck? Someone at a parts store told me there were two sizes of break pads
     
  25. Looks like you're making progress. Keep at it.

    that '27 looks awesome, and your truck looks like its coming along good. it's nice to finally find another minor wrenching away on something other than a honda civic. nice mustang too, looks like a decent size shop.

    Thanks! My dad built it last summer, the build thread is in the signature, thanks man, you got a kool roadster! And yah, I love old rides, don't like anything new hardly, and thanks, my dad built that one a few summers ago, and I'm very luck and have a 50x60 shop, but it's also being shared with two other cars and a 37 cab and misc parts and peices

    More updates, hoods primed and got a few dash pieces ready to be taken to bare metal and painted

    And I have an idea for my grille, maybe I could get some opinions? Maybe a photoshop of what it would look like? I want to put 53 Buick bezels on the 48! Going straight up and down, and making the little side pieces match up with the bezel, if that makes since?

    (Not my truck, just using it as an example for the grille)
