    Not my style but I am totally digging the craftmanship.
    Could you do me a huge favor and post up another shot or two of your radiator support? I really dig it and plan to do something similar (i.e. steal your ideas) when I get to that point on my '51. Something from the front or upshot from underneath would be super swell!

    BTW, I have a 9-month old so I can relate to the time crunch. Either your wife is more understanding than mine or your job is less demanding because I'm lucky to get a couple hours a month to work on my cars lately!

    Let me finish that sentence for you.
    ...Or you drink a shitload of caffeine everyday because instead of sleeping like you should be doing you are out in the garage banging on metal all night..
    -About sums it up.. HAHA
    As a matter of fact I'm working on customer cars at night to round up some more cash, AGAIN, and I'm running on a few hours of sleep right now.

    Badluck, Your car isn't a 4x4? :p

    Ah, also, the body work is way too straight. I'd take a nail and bang it with a mallet here and there just to give it that little more character.

    I realize how you keep making such great progress. I run errands with my wife (groceries, diapers, etc) and keep seeing your wife. Never see the Beav. I see how it goes. :)

    just been doing Misc crap that isn't picture worthy really, Got some more wiring done on Friday, I now have my headlight switch in, fan control and electric temp gauge. I guess the dash is about all put back together, Ill post a pic on Wendsday when I'm around the car again. Thanks for the Kind words Everyone! I've been looking at this damn thing for so long now, I don't even know if its cool. :)
