Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

you and me both

 

No real update today again , I'm still sanding

 

Sometimes it seems as if it will never end. Your doing a great job, just hang in there....Jim

 

it will all be fine, once the dust settles

 

Lookin' really awesome! You gonna bring it to the Harrington, DE Fair Grounds show this summer?

 

Thanks Jim

yah thats a lot of dust

Thank you , na unfortuinelly i know it wont be done for harringtion , im really shooting for the jalopyrama , there still soo much to do and the details are taking forever,and since im doing everything my self it will be at least till oct untile i get it close to being done , so im keeping my fingers crossed for then

 

Call in some help man!! I want it done now! hahaha!

 

Cody, WOOOOOOOOOOOW! Do you have any finger prints left??? Sand, sand, sand, the wagon is a boat and it's gonna be finger slicken smooth.
SLICK, SMOOTH and SLAMMED!
Glad to hear the JALOPYRAMA is still your TARGET. I'll have a special place for you on the floor! 229 days and counting!
You'll make it, I have confidence in you, your determination, and your talent.

 

i wish it was that easy , if only i wasnt so darn particular , but when the body comes off ill have my brother over sandblasting so that will be some help

Thanks Mike , the finger prints are gone and there still more sanding to do, the jalopyrama as been my target for years now , its my fav shows and what a great cause . im glad you all have the confidence in me,and
at times when i think of actually how much time i have left and what i still have to do and its verry overwhelming , i fugared it out and yah there 225 days left but thats if can work on it everyday , so i fugared in my time of actually working on it and that came out to 3 months of actual work
the good part is the main body is about 70 ready for paint so when ever i get the body off the frame and back on ill be squirting it and i hope everything will be rolling along smoothly then

 

Cody, if it will help you make the show, I'll keep after you each week to keep your butt moving....Jim
