Any progress on it in the last 3-4 years ? Still doing research huh ? Because so much got "done" in the year and a half I trusted you to work on it. |

Out of respect for Bob and the moderators on The Lounge, I won't clutter up this thread. If you look at my build thread, you'll see that the body work is done so yes it's moved forward. And the bodywork was done without replacing the 1/4 panel.
The people that know me know the truth of what happened.

Bob, your photos most likely don't do your car any justice and that's a fact, since your last car!!
I can't wait to see it in person!

Thanks Ted! Here's a pic of the inaugural voyage bringing it back from Collins Auto Trim. Still needs to be cleaned and buffed out but looking good.
