Either way you can not rush perfection..The metal work looks amazine and i know how you are so detail which only means the car will stand out for sure. Keep at it and I'm a fan  |

Here is the latest blk/wht photo taken today with my crappy (sorry) camera phone. She's off the rotisserie now.
Have a couple of "nick-nacks" to take care of before she goes to the paint shop. Almost looks "too good"
to cover up all that bare metal. Cheers! Mr. Okrasa

I dunno. These projects always seem 80% started and 20% finished.

UPDATE: Here is the '50 below at another metal shop. It has been here since Aug. 2012.
Nearly done with all the necessary re-work after being here for almost 1 1/2 years.
Running time so far for the metal work only is going on 4 1/2 years now.....
