    No updates but this project is not dead either. Got my shop all finished and everything moved in and arranged. Had a ton of other stuff on top of all that, work has been a total bitch the last 3 months, blah blah blah, freakin life getting in the way but in June the body is coming off for final blocking. It will get finished!

    Good to hear you'll be getting back on this project. I was wondering how it was coming.

    Nothing exciting. Block sanding, almost ready for paint, off the frame and on a body cart. Been working on a 49 Ford for somebody else and its ready for paint, will get painted this weekend finally! So, the Belv gets to come off the back burner somewhat. Look for progress soon!

    God... I spent so much time reading all this. Really cool build, but the front looks too bulky for me. Alot of good craftsmanship on this build. Can't wait to see it finished

    I love this crazy car. Will it be roofless, or will you put a convertible top on it? Something like a '57 T-Bird might be close?

    Looks great! Any further progress. I was enjoying reading along on the progress and then it stopped suddenly.

    Well it went on the back burner again.....But - This car is going to be leaving very soon and I can get my focus on finishing the Belv.... finally. This is the reason for the near year delay.
