    It was funny loading it up to take it to be dipped it was pretty damn heavy... when I got it back it seems a lot lighter, there had to be a ton of bondo on this thing... it hid everything pretty good.....

    Between Bitchin Products and EMS you can get entire floors, lower cowl sections, firewalls (if you need it). Keey an eye on ebay for the front sheetmetal, right now there are a set of 3 coupes for $500, one body looks pretty rough but the front sheetmetal looks okay. I have seen hoods and hood sides come but separately.

    Good luck with the car.

    Why use concete? Because in Florida it is cheaper than spray foam.
    I bought a car for the ex that they used plastic garden edgeing for the rear splash panel and the thin metal duct tape for the rockers. They also put the previously perfect side trim back on with drywall screws. One of these days I gotta move.

    Yeah Chevy's of the 40's has some stuff as well... I've been adding stuff to a list to go over with the owners...

    I've been watching those 37's but they're now over $2k and then there's shipping... oh well...
