Thank You

Hahaha.. Not the shoe repair guys, those guys are for carpets, lol. I went to the 90 year old guys at Montclair Auto Top.

Thank you once again.

Yes, its chopped 2 1/2".

 

Definately, I agree 100%, looks like a completely different car to me. Paint should be done soon.....

Got a late start today, had to wait till 1:30 for the rain to stop.. Here's the progress so far...







All primed, ready for paint tomorrow.. Even the primer is better than that shitty pink..

Man ,you did that car a favor.Nice

 

wow, park a custom in your driveway and a miranda appears! can't wait to see tomorrows pictures.

 

yup, jerseymike, instead of working on my own car, i work on everybody elses, and i get a meatball parm sammich, ill get my car out in 20 years after everyone forgot about it!

 

at least you got the bike to cruise and if you really feel like driving a custom you can just borrow one of mikey's 14 or so!

 

no way maryland rodders journals rush

 

stay on his ass mikey! he's got to much work in that car to not finish it.

 

Started at about 11am today..

Wet sanded the primer..


Gold going on!!

Love the direction she is going !

 

Who needs a spray booth when you have "good neighbors". You talk about traditional hot rodding...you are the man shooting that thing in your drive. No mask, no fan, no filter. It's exactly how I do my paint jobs (except I wear a mask and so should you) but the way my garage is situated I can paint in the backyard which is a little more private.

Love what you did to that box. It is 100% better.

 

Luckily my neighbors are great, they could care less.. Although a mask would have been a good idea..

900 Times better. Love the whole shebang, but the new dash and interior is spot on. Nice work.

 

Such an improvement!

i like this picture... I'd love to see how it looked with some scooped cruiser skirts that follow the buick trim, similar to the Junior Conway car.

 

noice

 

AMAZING JOB! i'm sure i've never seen that big a turn around in that short a time. and while you didn't even touch some parts of the car, you still improved the overall look and style of the entire car. when i saw it at lead east last year i expected big changes but never imagined this. again, great job.

 

is it b4 and after time yet?

 

Thank you to all.. I am extremely happy how the car is turning out.. I had a vision when I bought the car, and it's pretty spot on with it. A few more little things here and there and it'll be done..... For now...
