    Here's some random ones
    The doors were split, skins hammered and dollied wheeled and replaced. I used 7 Original fenders to build four for the car (picked up some that were rough to use) sectioned good henry steel into the fenders. The sub rails were rebuilt quarters straightened, windshild frame was cut apart and straightened then welded back together. All welding was done with oxy accet and steel welded. Hand made new hood tops, made a column drop for the starter button and ignition switch etc. etc.

    Excuse me for say this but it was a real piece of shit before you started. It's so beautiful now!!!! I love when people post stuff like this because my '32 is really bad and I am confident that it will look great in the end. I need confidence boosters like this every once in a while.

    No Problem ... I have called it that myself many times ;)

    Just remember your car is just the sum of many smaller parts ... every part you repair is one part closer to the final product.
    Good Luck with your build.

    A stunning resurrection! As someone that did restorations for a living for many years, I can really appreciate the dedication, focus and time you put into this project...These days, pictures like your "before" shot just scare the living daylights outa me! (yet, I'm still working on them...go figure...) Another one rises from the rust! Outstanding job!

    Cool to see an old Canadian rust bucket saved!! I remember lookin at the pics when you first got it, you are an inspiration to any one with a project that most would consider to be junk !!Great job.

    I would definitely carry a photo album of the build if that belonged to me. Then anytime anyone asked about how you got it just hand the album over and sit back and watch.

    EXCELLENT BUILD, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Now drive the wheels off it.
