    I spent a few hours grinding and filling in pinholes. Still some more to do, but I am making progress. I will try to do more updates through out the week for those that are interested. After this is done and looks nice in raw metal I am going to start chopping the top. Keep watch for it. I'll probably start to tackle the top this weekend.

    Great project! Great car!

    I don't know if it would fit.. you'd have to measure one, but I wonder about the centre of the '57 Chevy pick-up grill?

    I dont think that looks too bad? I was also thinking drawer pulls or something along those lines. I've been hitting antique stores and junk yards trying to find whatever it is I need to throw in there to look neat. Thank you for helping out!

    Sorry no progress pics lately for those that care. I went into the garage and it was FREEZING outside and my propane heaters were empty. I have since re-filled them and progress will soon be under way. I'm ready to move out west! Anybody know of a bodyshop hiring? :)
