Thanks Erick, been a long road can't wait to see some paint on it. I got the jambs done this weekend. I am painting it a satin burgandy first satin finish on a car for me. I have had lots of shiny paint jobs on cars. I am going to drive the crap out of this one so I wont worry about it getting scratched or messed up. I have done many clear and re clears then sand and buff jobs. After all that work and you get a ding or scrach you want to kill someone.
I still have the car and slowly working on it. Found some rust in the trunk so I replaced the trunk pan. I am trying to save up some cash for the paint. As you all know life sometimes gets in the way of things. I will take some pics of it when she is painted. I was going to do a flat color, but Brad Masterson talked me in to doing it a shiny finish. So I will do it in a light kahki brown. Once its painted I am going to get it down to Brads shop he is going to do some scallops. Might not be 100% straight but this will be a daily driver with 2 small kids around it all the time so chips and scratchs are bound to happen.
I know the feeling, been at a standstill with mine ( newborn) but i did take it to a show last weekend, voodoo Larry was nice enough to look at my car and give me some tips ( didn't even make fun of my junk welds), that gave me a spark to get on it again..... now to find time.

Wow great job I wanted to do that to my 49 chevy fleetline but I'm looking for a nice daily driver with a chop top ....
Outstanding work. That thing looks awesome. I've got a movie with Brad in it, he does amazing work. I've got a 50 Styleline I'm working on and reading your thread is making me want to get it done even faster. Great job! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Thanks all it was a long haul but worth it. 1 kool mofo. Your ride is so nice looking yes please get another ride thats chopped your ride is just to nice to chop. Lucky13 thank you Brad is bad ass if it wasnt for him my ride would not look this good. I owe alot to him for helping me threw the chop. He is a stand up guy and we need him in our industry so the true kustom craft is not lost. I tryed to do it just like the kids would of done it in the 50's except for a mig welder and mud. Once again THANKS SO MUCH BRAD MASTERSON FOR HELPING ME THREW THE CHOP.
