    That grill insert appears...from out-of-nowhere? Hispano-Suiza? Ned Ludd's bone-yard?
    Gorgeous work!

    Somehow I wouldn't be surprised to see a complete Miller body assembly, done in less than 1 week. Cat, you are good. I wish you could do how-to's, as in step by step. Fabulous work... !

    You my friend have some killer skills..........How about a bomber bench seat for a 3 window and keep somewhat the original look of the seat.......I have always wondered what one would look like.

    Holy cow. You did the shell in 20 hrs? I barely get up and have coffee in that amount of time. Beautiful, and the E&J headlights look perfect with it.
