...a couple more long roofs wearing Sherwin paint.
Hey all, time for a mini-update. All body work has been completed! Very little bondo was needed from what I saw during my visits, and the only...
I plan on spending a couple days documenting most of it, actually. Hell, maybe they'll let me weld so I can tell people I did a little bit of the...
Good point! A rapidly accelerating, expensive hobby - but yes... a hobby. :o These guys have said over (and over) how much they're enjoying this...
The aforementioned photos.
Had another successful day at the shop. I was in one room, taking apart the remainder of the '53... while a couple professionals were next door...
Thx for the heads up - yeah, rust prevention is one area I won't skimp. Not sure it'll be the Rhino product per se, but I know there are a few...

Met a tow truck up at the warehouse yesterday (which is slowly being thinned of its dusty old treasures, by the way). Helped load the Durango, and...
And a few more, including: - working tailgate, - the Hemi in the trunk (I noted this is likely the closest I'll ever have to a mid-engined...
Possibly. Lots of little differences between models and years, and in the case of wagons, convertibles and limos... everything from windshields to...

LOL - it's my first excuse to buy/use a grinder, get crap welded, and have fun. It's been a blast, and I'm continually shedding a tear for the...
Off-topic update. I bought a 1950's Tee-Nee boat trailer a couple years up in Wisconsin - think I paid 75 bucks. But only recently did I pull...
