    You are an artist Rocky, it's going to look spectacular with all of the bits painted and plated. The body will be the icing on the cake! :D You could save yourself a lot of fiberglass work and make the tonneau out of aluminum.

    Rocky, Your rail looks really mean with the "T" body installed. Wish you all the best on your "Barn Storming Tour !" . Show them how we do it California.

    Thanks guys! I won't be happy until the T body is done, I had thought of forming aluminum but as much as I dred the glass I think it would look better.

    Thanks carl, no more gas stains;)

    Getting the frame cleaned up, I'm lucky my Bro-inlaw has mucho remnant sand paper. Only made it to the engine plate.

    Another 2 hours and I'm almost done sanding the frame, then theres 4 uprights around the back and helmet bars before we can paint it.
