    CustomJ I forgot all about you and I'm glad I have been reminded about this thread. Congrats on the Rad Ride's gig....that's Awesome!!!! Also congrats and opportunity to work on Fred Carillo's roadster (17) it's one of my favorites and I got the chance to see it at the Jalopyrama. I'm not ashamed to say I almost teared up it was so nice.

    Anyways dude, I love your humble attitude and your work.

    When are you going to start work on my '32 getting it whipped into shape.

    So... I called my Friend Bill Doran to help out with folding the Top edge of the back panel not only was he a good set of hands but he just so happened to be pretty good with a camera, Finally have all the body panels complete. Here's a few pictures he took tonight.[​IMG]

    I think a Model A style made from aluminum buck riveted together around the radius. One of my goals for this car is to have no weld seams on any of the body panels or inner structure so Panel bond adhesives and rivets are going to be used throughout the whole body. Thanks for the positive comments but I must confess, I should be giving the glory to Jesus Christ, I don't always know the best way to do it but I think acknowledging him is a start. Hes the one who's gifted me to be able to do this. Its sad that most of the time I use it for my own pleasure, I woke up feeling convicted about it so I needed to b honest.
