She's looking good, tech. Gonna have it done in time for the first spring cruise night??? Wish the Ranchero was that far along, still modifying panels and doing the chop thing. Think you're gonna be done before I am. Looks great, keep us posted.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Thanks for the nice words guys.
If you only knew how bad it really was!!
6" on the bottom of cowl was rusted away, the whole floor board
from the cowl back to the bottom of the trunk lid was gone.
I hand formed the firewall & floor board & tool trunk tray & rear body area with 16 & 18 guage sheet metal.
Its not Chip Foose perfection as all I have is a 4 foot brake, bead roller & mig & tig welder, plus all the assorted body tools.
Hope to have her rollin' by late spring.
The Colors are House of Kolor Kandy Purple over a pearl black base & House of Kolor Platnuim Pearl with a tad of black pearl mixed in to get a charcoal effect.

Spray,
It looks like you're going to have a "killer" ride when you finish. Maybe you can make it to Sringfield, Missouri for the NSRA event that's sceduled for the last week of May. I know some of the CHR guys should be there and it would be nice to visit.

LOL Larry............
I had it turned down round & I hope them 16 penny nails I hammered into the yolks hold
The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
