  18. Man that looks good. How do you blend the welded panels together so well? I mean, you can't even tell where the panels were cut and welded together! Fantastic work.

    I was getting burnt out so I took a break from the car. I now have the A pillars welded up and the door tops are welded together.

    You need to do that every once and awhile. Trouble is, I find as I get older, once I take a break it's harder to get motivated again.

    House hunting??

    Outstanding work!
     
  26. I worked on a '57 chevy for what seemed like forever. It seemed like no matter how much time, money, and effort we threw at the damned thing it would never be done. We were probably a year away from finishing it and just hit a wall. So one day we decided to sell it. I will have a '57 chevy one day but I'm not sure I really want to be the one to build it.

    Hey Kellan, I know this thread is about your `35, but do you suppose you could post a pic of that 5 window I keep seeing parts of in the background??

    Need me to come to bismarck once a month to crack the whip on you? If you worked on Fords maybe you would be more motivated.

    Gotta get the '40 finished so we can cruise together and maybe we will let my dad go with too if he buys all of our gas for both cars
