    Doug,
    You are really knocking this build out of the park. You are a very talented man, keep it going bro.

    Reinforcements arrive tomorrow. Master of None will be on the scene to help get this thing in paint. Thanks for the accolades, I hope I can live up to the expectations.

    Well, not quite in paint but close. My gun gave out so waiting on parts. Here’s a teaser done with a touch up gun. Seriously hard to ask more of a guy than Nate who showed up to get this thing further along when his own 3 year old son is still in the hospital following a couple bumps in the road after open heart surgery. It broke my heart when he and Wyatt would be on a face time call. I guess that is why I put my heart into this car to give away. 1DB44B8B-69BA-4A7E-B7A9-25458B2F0793.jpeg 50BDD302-18C7-4419-A10A-A21C9EE7E2D6.jpeg

    Kudos to you and Nate for doing this, and Nate's son will certainly be in my prayers!

    I can’t get my own 16 year old son in the shop most days. Wyatt was asking to see all the hot rods, the cows, the cats, all of things that are taken for granted everyday because they are just here. Nate and his dad are like family. I can talk to them deeper than I talk to my own family. They have a knack for when to listen, when to speak, and when to take action. I am deeply grateful to know them.

    Thanks guys. It’s not as nice as I would like it to be, but I learned a bunch along the way. I hope to be able to have it all basecoat tomorrow and at least post picture of that. Depends how late I am into the paint tomorrow, I may clear it Sunday morning.

    'Even the engine!' Beautiful detail, NO painting over bolts!!! Genius. Serious.
    The final detail on this car will be nothing more than an echo of the ministry of this project, simply a blessing in our universal 'hobby'.
    I'm humbled.

    Inching closer. Being a one-man shop sometimes has its limitations. 4C95DE51-C297-4420-8644-017B5C449F45.jpeg 2B03FE36-BFD8-4776-8B6F-23948DD87F9B.jpeg
     
  25. Gotta love the innovations that come from a one man shop! Keep up the Great Work! Hobo Jim
