Well this side is done. still need interior and paint other side mama says "Finaly getting there" I know I can finish this before she gets the seats done...I hope

Charlie I remember when this came to you . Wow a big change and the color's are perfect choice for this car . Remember when you get down to New Lenox way give me a call for some coffee .

Charlie what a nice job you've done. Love the color scheme.

Thanks stovens I made the long trip to get the paint for the fender and door I hit . I sprayed it and its a tad lighter.. So I will be going back to the man with the paint. If he can't match it better I'll just repaint the hole car... Can't kick anyone but my self on this one..being single stage theres not much I can do

Very sharp wagon, Charlie. Bet she can't wait to get in it and drive.

Wow time flies when your having fun... Found out that the orignal place can't make the paint color to match. S&%^%#.So that said I am now going to shoot the hole car over again..Thats just what I thought was going to happen. No body to blame but myself. Hopefully by next week I'll be working on this. The material came for the interior guess I'l be helping Chris do some sewing. I think its been about 7 or 8 months since I put it over in the other shop for storage. Good weather is here time to drive them.

"SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED" wanted a 57 T-Bird... and you did not OBEY!

I told her she could have one She just had to finance it

Can't live with them or without them, mine is pretty reasonable, I'm sure they feel the same, huh Bard?

Well Charlie, it's a beautiful ride and I'm sure she'll be happy with her own car.

Well the problem is the two different colors .. Have to go get a gal. of one color and repaint the bottom.

Still looks nice,Charlie..Which reminds me..Better go and do another half hour on the Cusso,,before I get asked what needs doing,,again..

Charlie I hope you drive this to New Lenox when it's ready , We need to have breakfast and talk about your builds .

Well let it never be said I guit a job. Finely got around to getting a gallon of paint to REPAINT the bottom. Its been sitting in the other shop for over 2 years. I just hosed off some of the top dirt to bring it in, and remove the trim. It was hard enough getting it on now its going the other way. Plan on sanding it down fixing a few nicks it got while in storage, and letting her finish the seats. Chris started working on the interior so I better get this thing in new paint. Oh after sitting this long I jumped in turned the key and it fired right up. I guess it will be dependable for her.

It's been so long.. I don't remember.. why the re-paint?

It'sa looker in any event!!
