That is amazing. I fixed up a crappy lawnmower before but it still just looked like.. well a crappy lawnmower. I am impressed by people who can...
How about The Wayfarer. It is the name of a book from 1909 that apparently the name "Big Apple" came from.
I think it looks great with the four doors and shaved handles. Did you put in any outside entry system for the back doors? I know guys who say...

Beautiful. Is that firewall sandblasted/polished stainless?
