    hey thanks! we used old duct work tubes we got from work.. tossed it over the rafters in the garage..one in front.. one in the rear.. then hooked it to one of those air mover fans.. they sit on the floor to dry carpets etc.. worked pretty good.. would keep the garage pretty clear..and would be completed clear within a few minutes of not spraying..

    Only have have one word: WOW!

    What's your plans regarding the windows? Any more trim, or is it going to stay 'clean-as is' ?

    Love the chop and the color. Looks fantastic.

    thanks.. the glass is next.. going with the old greenish glass,, theres more chrome and stainless going back on.. rockers.. beltline, drip rail, and hood strip.

    thanks.. if i had any fingers left from sanding.. i would!
    thanks so much
    thanks i appreciate it

    thanks buddy
    thanks, that means alot to me.. i hope ive inspired a few people to do it themselves.. even though mines not perfect.. i gotta say.. knowing i did it myself is worth way more than having a shop build me a perfect custom :)
