Are you talking about early 50's or all 50's verts?

That's looking good real good Rich. Keep it up and thanks for the pic. Wow only 27 survivors, that makes Heb's look like Toyotas in comparison. :wink:

Who is doing the metal work? Are those the same fenders that were on it before? That thing is coming along nicely..

Matt Howard did all the metal work, he has a shop with Buddy and the fenders in the front are the same ones but the ones in the rear i bought them here on the samba
