    They're doing all the work for you? I'm having them do parts on the Maverick if I can't get it perfect and also on the Rambler wagon to weld in the rockers.

    Can't wait to see the pics!

    Great progress pics of the little Pinto. Milo is looking good! I've had a few vehicles with names too. The one that stands out is the little Brown and tan 87 FORD Ranger 2wd XLT with a canopy. It looked like a truck an older gentleman would drive. I named it Floyd.

    Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

    OK, getting closer. Every minute I can spare goes into this wagon, then the Maverick and then I'll get to my Rambler wagon! All that's left is the rain gutter on the passenger side, two small dents and the rockers and I'm done! Woo hoo!
