Put the front sheet metal on this morning. Chipped the paint in a few spots, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Had K.C. Ron. my son, and one of his buds helping out on the install. Should be able to put it on the street this week if nothing goes wrong.

Dont worry about the paint chips I did it on mine too. At least I didnt have fenders to deal with. Have you dropped a wrench and chipped it yet ? Ive done it 2 times but you cant see where I did it. I wonder why im too lazy to cover the frame while im working on it? I love that color ...

What a nice car! I bet you cringed when you chipped that paint! I was upset just scratching up the matte black tractor paint i sprayed on my truck bed this weekend.

That is looking really good. Washed my 37 yesterday and went for a ride. Yes to street rods.

Very nice!

I hope to see it in real life sometime

All you guys getting your new projects on the road are going to shame me into going thru the pickup again....or getting back to work on one of the projects that have been sitting way too long. :oops:

The car looks AWESOME! Sure wish I had that front clip for my 37!

Cool color combo. You've really stayed focused cause that great ride is coming along nicely. Real encouragment to me and alot of other guys to get out to the garage and keep moving.

btrc · April 13, 2004, 07:03:36 AM

Ditto with everyone else. I love the two tone combo. With any luck I'll be able to check it out in Des Moines too. My wife has a HS reunion that weekend and some days she wants to go to it and and somedays not. We'll see.
