Frenchy and Mike Fischer brought me a great Birthday present on Saturday... My '67 body finally comes home for assembly after over a year of work in Arizona. Now, it's up to me to put this deal together. Thanks to Buddy, Matt, Frenchy and Mike for making it possible.

So did it take you until today to stop staring at it long enough to come out of the garage to post this?  Grin  Can't wait to see more progress on this. Oh and Happy B-day.

Deano, you have just under seven months before it's time to head to THE cruise night... This is your mission should you choose to accept it! Cheesy

If you wanted overused, you could have used "Iconic" .  But in this case, I feel that "Sano" or "E-Ticket" are the only appropriate terms.  Grin

Looks great Deano!  I agree with KS, its time for a push for June.  Smiley

I know what you mean Dave... How about Vista Looker?

Ironically, just about the time I get this car home, Cal Trans began to paint their trucks white (instead of orange). I guess they didn't want to compete with this '67 rolling down (their) highway...

After looking at this now painted body, and my done pan, I never want to see another patch panel, rusted rocker ever!
