    The 3 months the car was in Jeff’s able-bodied hands sure seemed like forever to me, but the final outcome made it all worth the wait… even if I did suffer bouts with separation anxiety during the process. It was an awesome opportunity to have Jeff Myers and Ian Berky work on my car.
    A million thanks !<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p

    All I've done is take off the trunk to smooth it out.
    We'll see how this goes. It's never easy.

    Looking good Art! Is Chris going to paint the top? Or did that already get done at Jeff's. Been hard at it on both my cars, but got a good break and drove out to Cali for GNRS for a couple of weeks had a great trip.
    Just got the six speed in the Chevy and the bumpers and grille teeth go out for chrome Monday. Meanwhile got a new trans for my shoebox while in Cali so I've got my work cutout for me too. But If you need help sanding let me know and I'll drive up to see ya.;) My car may need help sanding some day too,HAHA! :D

    That sucker's a little punched in the back :( - that oughtta make it easier on your mind when smoothing that bugger though !

    I just did mine recently (here's the thread) - still have to lead it yet , just haven't had time .

    Rebuilding the motor back stock.
    Now.. what color to paint it....? Hmmm?
    When in doubt-go with black.

    The engines look so clean in blue - why change ?? To me , black will look like you're trying to hide something ;) - and besides , a black engine will blend into the engine bay & go blah .

    It's a custom, you dont pop the hood unless you need to or you're asked... It's kinda' like wearing clean underwear

    Very nice. I'm jealous. When I got my 50 ten years ago it was with the intent to chop it. I haven't made it yet. But one of these days..........

    Allen great suggestion. I'm still debating. May go with the darker Ford blue. Since I'm not to worried about "showing" the motor.. I'm still leaning
    towards black.
