It dont take much to be cuter than me, Dave! I was looking at your projects; great stuff. The guy with the Chevelle must really want a Chevelle BAD. That a serious restoration project with those quarter panels, but if anyone can save it, I'm sure you can swing it.

Brick, I think I'm just going to use 3/4" square tubing for the grille; should have it done by the end of the week.

Unbelieveable; some people have more money than sense. Wish I was one of them!

Glad you're OK, Dave. Be careful,we dont heal as fast as we used to.

Man, that's an understatement!!! Not sure I'm ever going to heal at all!!! Half my body is now in technicolor from all the bruises!!!!!

The twin lights turned out just like I thought they would falcon, have you decided on what the grill is going to look like yet?

Dave you haven't changed, you still have 4 projects going at once! Wouldn't have it any other way would you?

Well Brick, there's actually 5 in the shop, 2 more waiting, plus the 4 in my garage, and one sitting outside waiting for room.... So yeah, everything is normal around here!!!!

In response to brickman 406Rich, I ment no insult and I do like your frame. I don't think anyone thought you were stepping on anyones toes. I like seeing all the builds anywhere anytime. Sorry if I offended.

There wasn`t any offense, I just posted the pic in Bob`s thread to show my shocks of a past project, didn`t want to put anymore in there to hijack his thread...that was some bright red paint though.

Need more it's a education on some good work .

Dave had been wondering how you where coming along on the Chrysler. Thanks for all the pic's , great eye candy as all are . Just like this one .

Yeah, I don't even like building sedans Bobby, but one as nice as your A or Walt's Plymouth can certainly get me in the mood to build one!!!!

Hope to get caught up at the shop and be able to spend some time in my own garage after this next month.... If I had known I was gonna live this long I sure as heck would have taken better care of myself!!!! I sure do seem to run out of ambition before I run out of work anymore!!!!

Happening to a few of us Dave no poroblems we just hit it when we can .

Yeah, like my old pal Dean sez, "gettin' old ain't for sissies"!! I took a tumble on the ice Wednesday night, slipped trying to get into the pickup and crashed really, really hard! Couldn't do a dang thing Thursday or Friday!!! So now I'm 2 more days behind what I was already behind...I think......

Oh Ya Dave, now your giving your all to your projects!! How are you feelin? Guys of our MATURE state should refrain for contact sports, like ice skating or maybe walking sometimes!

Brick, you mean Dave's MMA match is canceled!? Bummer!

I threw a grill together from 1/2" square tubing tonight after work. It's a little plain looking but I think if I put an expanded metal backer behind it it'll look decent enough. Also put some more angle braces along the upper edge where the hood rests. It's starting to feel pretty solid; maybe some lower braces when I'm putting it together for the final time. Here's a shot of the old front for comparison.
