Very nice Nancy, look s very solid and straight. I can't wait to see it done, and the ear to ear grin on your face when you drive it for the first time. I know you, and I know that is is going to be one fine split all the way down to the last detail!!!!

That looks just VERY good.
I have a 1949 sedan wich I have not touched for ten years.
I dream of having him fixed and painted one day that well.
