Quite the coral of cars starting with the Stang! Man and I thought one at a time was hard and expensive!

Thanks for the kind words guys , but I am only doing 2 at the moment . I have sublet the 37 to someone else to keep things moving . When this heat stops I can begin the clean up .

Looks great, Bobby! Enjoy that picture while it's new and has lots space. They dont seem to stay that way very long for some reason.

Yep all is correct moving out the other garage to paint mustang and the 2 in there now . But the size is good plenty of room left even with all I have in there . Planning it to work on one will still work with 2 cars in it and the parts . But when I finish and sell the mustang It will all fit much better .

Missed every one been back at work pulling 6 day weeks the new 2011 Explorer is moving and they are doing tons of maintenance to keep the lines running , but that's good for me .

Also been reading all the builds some great progress on so many rides it took a while also .

Hey Bobby, great to see your post. I've been a little side-tracked myself. My front fenders are draped over the front tires in a similar fashion. I love the way the look makes it "feel" like you're making progress even though you know it's slow going. Got my fenders, hood, deck lid, side panels, etc. all sand blasted recently. I now have to get some epoxy primer on them. Hopefully, soon.

Later,
Randy

Randy always seems to happen to all of us now and then .

Well guys look for the 67 Mustang coming up , I am going to get it done first . It's to close and then I will get back on the 31 .

I know what ya mean, Bobby!!! Sometimes things just have to go to be able to get other things done!

thats a real shame mate
just had a read thru and see you had made good progress but then it had stalled for awhile.
i applaud your decision to shift it on as i'm like alot of people and hang on to too many "maybe oneday" projects.
look forward to reading more about your other cars

Sad to read about your decision, you put in a lot of time on that one.
But, every once in a while you got to cut and run so another project can move forward!

We've all had to do it! Well, maybe not Jay leno... LOL..

Even Leno will eventually have to let some go! He's retiring from the tonight show, going onto a fixed(albeit huge income) But he has lots of toys to maintain, and staff to pay. I can't image what his private collection and shop cost to maintain! His mechanics are capable of fabricating any part he needs, that can't come cheap. When I was a kid they had a Museum of Fords that was being sold off because they couldn't afford the upkeep. I believe it still exists, but I think they had to sell some of the cars at one point!

So true guys and thanks for the support this Cougar coming up is major sheet metal , actually i am thinking just clipping the whole back end will make a lot of tedious work disappear , Then the 37 a little more sheet metal but my changes in my thoughts vow are to build a strong bodied drive and not take so much into the car show build .

.

I'm sure it was hard to let it go but it'll be awesome to get a couple others closer to your goals!
