Thanks Ken, that's a great site. I've always loved the early custom style(late 40's thru early 50's.
Here's a couple of pics of my old 40 Merc that i had in the 70's. One of the cars i wish I had back.

'40 Fords are difficult to customize well because the original is so right. Cushenberry was able to do it with the El Matador, few others have been successful.

I'll tell ya fella's..... these are my kinda cars. I think that the 50s and 60s custom cars are the best ever. The radical fabrication of those days was hard to beat. Long live the 50s and rock and roll.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
