hey, thanks for the compliments. I can't take a whole lot of credit for what's been done. My basic job is maintaining what has already been accomplished and maybe fix some of the body work that has been sadly cut out.

I would like to fix the wheel wells just as soon as I get a donor to cut off of. I have a few stockpiled, I just need to go get them.

I might even fix the rusty wheel wells down by the heater channels. We'll see. It's going to be more of an art project then anything. No matter what I do, I can not do anything that will sacrifice patina in any way. Wink

all pictures were taken on route to the KVLY Tower in Blanchard, ND. The tower is 2063' tall. It was once the largest man made structure in the world...it's been beat a few times now though.
