    That last pic is the money. You killed on the transition from roof to trunk. More more more.

    Looking good Chris. You are nailing every aspect that needs to be hit on these cars. Sledge has the chop down to a science and you followed it to a t. great craftsmenship. Can wait to finish up my 40 merc and I use the recent builds on here for inspiration. I was lucky enough to have Kevan and Vic chop mine for me so I know it would be right. Hopefully it comes out as nice as your going.

    Chris, you don't know slow... Tell us the truth, you somehow figured out how to get those goats to work metal-right? Awesome work as always..

    Looks great, Mr. Casny! You're not a student of the style any longer... You're a teacher!

    Beautiful work as ever. Will the rear quarter windows be fixed or openable?

    It doesn't really matter, but isn't that the purple nomad Lee Pratt owns in the doorway in the pic where you had the body hanging?

    I recall meeting you a few years back at the HAMB bbq at Legg Lake. You sat with my wife and I for a few and gave my english bulldog some love. I hope some of that talent dust of yours rubbed off on her. I'm going to rub her now and go outside and chop a car. You have some great craftsmanship!

    After some time working on other things, I finally got some primer on the body. Feels good to make some progress.

    Looks so good! Did you have to put up a gate to keep the goats out of the shop?

    Bloody goats. My mum had goats . Yould park and come back to find them standing on the bloody roof with your wallet (or what little remained of it) in their mouth.
    ps the merc looks great.
