After the last two nights, it probably is a train.

or maybe after the last couple nights you're out of trains and the rest of the project will be a cake walk?????

Probably wishful thinking; but thanks for the sentiment. I needed a little positive thinking about now!

Thanks, Denny; I feel much better today. Sometimes a little aggrevation is a good motivator.

Seems all the store bought glass parts need a bit of adjusting to make them fit correctly!!!!

I agree with Dave!
Wouldnt it be nice to have everything to fit from the beginning.
Looking good Pro!

Man, just can't sleep tonight. Tired of tossing and turning. ProZ, I may be way ahead of you on this one but I think yours is tab bit higher quality than what I'm throwing together right now. That's an awesome looking engine, how soon before the maiden voyage?

repops i placed on cpe i had to drill out there spot welds and bring top of 1/4 up to match deck lid better .

Friend of mine just got a re-pop quarter for his Chevy II----the body line on the side is off about 1/2"!!!!! Going to be a very fun install, think I got volunteered to help!!!!!!!

I guess for the price of the re-pops a guy can't really expect perfection!!!! Sure beats the heck out of having to go find a usable one at the junkyard and cut it off!!!!

That's a good question. Depends how busy I get in the sign shop. Too busy & the "Z" work stops. Too slow & the "Z" parts buying stops.

Dave true and with no Diemakers around them they will get worn even more . Character lines on side had to much radius had to work them also to match up with door . Full 1/4s are supposed to make the job easier LOL we wish . If we found a nos , price would be so outrageous not worth it for a non show car.
