    I always plan on waiting to post pics, so I can be all like BAM here it is. But I get to mess with it so sporadically any progress is exciting to me. It's all dusty and needs a good polish to finish it up. Plus I have to finish buffing the headlights and grille shell and do some wiring and upholstery... so still a lot. But anyway I just had to see it on the frame.

    Looking real good in paint! The black makes the white accents really pop now.

    I know how that "work on it sporadically so any progress is exciting" thing is... right now if I just shuffle my A parts around to make room, it feels like progress!

    looking great man!

    I'm getting a couple hours in every night. still need to do the last step in polishing the paint. My late 50's accessory license frame is getting rechromed, the rear looks a little off without it. Needs all the upholstery, antennas, top, lights, etc.. But it's getting there!

    I had 37 Chrysler for a while. Doesn't fit the car really. I really liked them though. Now I have 53 Buick.

    Ariels and hinges and shiny paint. Putting together a painted car is jus like putting together an unpainted car except you say "Bitch-ass fucking mother-shitting punk!" a lot more.
