Thanks guys!!! I've decided that I really do like the two tone look...Where the color splits from the fenders to the body the change is very subtle. I can't take the credit for the color selection, the owner and his girlfriend picked the paint.
Didn't get much done lately, end of the year taxes, buying and selling some stuff, and doing a few guesstimates (I don't do quotes) on a couple other builds, and messing with some of the '57 pieces. Should have the front end all buffed out soon and will put up some pics then. All in all, coming out decent. Gonna be a real classy looking cruizer when it's all done.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I have been thinking about this bumper for a while so today I started cutting up my '35 brackets to figure out how to pull it in and get the bracket and bumper holes to line up. The blade on my saw got torn up so I had to move on to something else, but I think it will work out pretty good.

That looks good, 35. Those tail lights are pretty killer, too. Same for everyone else; Dave, Mr Smith, great progress!

After many health problems I am finally able to get back to my 48
GMC project. With the help of several friends I drove it for the first
time Sunday. Here is a picture.......DonLast edited by Don Meyer; 01-26-2011 at 07:42 AM.

Hey Don, was just wondering the other day why we hadn't seen you in a loooonnnnggg time, sorry to hear you've been ill. Glad you're back on your feet to whatever degree you are. The truck looks like it turned out pretty nice...........more pictures, especially a side view please. Glad you're back here.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Finally got a little color on my dash tonight. A little more high build primer on a few spots and I should be good to paint the rest.Mark Smith

Got some color on last night. Started spraying the color about 5pm and finished the clear at 2am. I don't have enough lighting in my shop to get a nice flow on the clear but after some polishing it will be okay. I love the color but I am not sure if it is the right color for this car. Won't know until I get it together and roll it outside I think. It is nice to have that part behind me though.Mark Smith
