it's ain't much but it is progress. the project has been stalled since late January when i started on Donzie's car and then got side tracked on a cash job then CherryBlossom's car. well it's been kilin me watching it collect dust in the garage so when CherryBlossom asked what i wanted to do for my Birthday (it was friday the 13th http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) i told her i wanted to work on MY hot rod for a change. so thats what i've been doing all weekend.

first thing i did was take one of the carbs apart that will go on the 47 Chevy coupe (gotta get them blasted and painted, then rebuilt), then pulled the grill and a few parts that are going to the blaster this week and THEN started on the FnA!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif happy happy joy joy!!!

here is what i've done so far. it ain't much, but it is progress. after lunch i'm going to go back at it till my folks get here to take us out for dinner...

this is BEFORE today...

goin to spend my B-day money on a torch set tommarow so i can gas weld this shit. lots easier to work a gas (or TIG) weld than these hard ass MIG welds. i have LOTS of sheetmetal welding to do on this baby....
