    Hey Pro, that is a good site, checked it out a little last night. Thanks for the info.
    Thanks for the compliment, Dwaynerz; I hope to get a little time on it this weekend. Been a crazy week at work, 5:30am to 8-9 at night everyday so far.

    It's possible; we'll see how far she gets this summer. I'm not ready to make another completion prediction on this one. I might drive up there and see yours, though. When do the shows start up there?

    Yeah, no kidding. My grandson is 3 and he keeps asking when we're going to the car show. That's becoming our thing together; hopefully we'll be building him a car someday. I got the patch on the other side fully welded in today, along with most of the trunk patch and several hours of grinding.

    Looks like a good days work Falcon!!! All I got done was a few more hours of block sanding and some time messin' with the hood on the '57...

    The panel work looks great!

    Falcon,

    Your Plymouth is looking good. You are an inspiration for me to get working on mine!

    I decided I'm at a point where I'm going to need some help on this; my body skills are fair but I want this to be nice. I've got a friend who's a pretty good body man so I had him come look today. He gave me a pretty good price so we'll start working together on getting the main body work finished starting the last week of December. I'm excited; it's going to come out great plus I get to learn along the way.

    It doesn't get much better than that.

    I'm better at the body work than I was a few years ago but still a long way to go. Really we're never done learning; there's always someone better out there.

    Totally worthless today; I went out in the garage, looked around, came back in, and plopped in my office chair. I usually never let a Saturday get away but this week at work beat me to a pulp.

    I kind of jumped around on this today; I finished up welding in the trunk panel and a couple of little patches where the spare tire bracket was. I'm going to eliminate the cowl vent so I cut all the brackets off of it and turned it into a patch. This is going to be tough getting this straight so i just tacked it and I'll let my body man finish this up. I've got the whole week of Christmas off so i'm going to try and get a couple of long days to work on the underside and get the welds cleaned up and hopefully POR-15 the whole underside of the body along with a lot of the inner body structure. I know a lot of guys like to paint all that body color but I figure if you're not going to see it once the interior is together, it's getting the POR-15 treatment.
