    and yes I bought the H.F. E/wheel & the planishing hammer ... so far they did what I set out to do and I'm still learning as I go so maybe I'll make me a cat daddy set after I'm done making panels for the 53'???

    Yup nobody has ever touched this car besides myself since I started cuttin! I have had a few words of wisdom from a few friends but I work alone most of the time at night while everybody else is asleep...sometimes I fall asleep in the garage or my eyes get heavy then I go in and hit the sack! Thnx to all of ya!
