    Well here goes another model a build. Purchased this roller last Aug and had change almost everything that had been started. It's been awhile since I've done this from the ground up. So here's what's been going on for almost a year.

    Its amazing what you can find to hold parts like the tomato cages. Wife wasn't very happy when she seen them :) It's no wonder why they charge so much for paint and body work,that crap is hard.

    That is pretty outstanding progress for one year (in my world, anyways)! Gives me hope. Keep the pics coming

    Wait...I'm a bit lost here. Earlier pics show a filled top, but you've got paint and still just wood bows. Change your mind on the fill?

    Great Car, by the way. Nice work!

    Original set of pics, Danny...#12 if you count them left to right, then down, etc.
    Looks like the P.O. had a filler made (steel) that our own new builder left off. (he said he was changin' everything!)
    Got me, too....
    The 'lipstick on a pig' sounded vaguely political. I feared we would slam on the PC brakes.
     
  26. Great color, looks like a 5" chop, nice!

    IMG_0566.JPG IMG_0565.JPG I made the top removable, it will bolt in that I can have both a open top and a hard top.
