I've used one in the last project i had. Works great.

Worked on the rain gutters a lil last night. Welding them on and smoothing them out will take a while.

Drip rails are on. Guess they look ok.

The car is turning out great! [dr

Thanks Flipper. It's been a long road and i still don't see a stop sign in sight. Not sure i ever will. LOL

Looks great!.....love how its turning out.

Got out in the shop a lil before i got the dam FLU that turned into a mojor cold! Anyways, i got the drip rails how i want them. Also made a panel for over the windshield/roof area. I'm wanting to do a 32 style insert that bolts in. Going to take some 18-20 ga and make a 1" angle channel to run around the entire roof opening and then make a frame work out of aluminum for the roof panel.

Oh ya, painted the wheels too. Now to get them tires back on them. Car is going to be Black on Black on Black so to speak.

Been trying to get my a$$ in gear on this thing. Got out in the shop today and finally got some primer on it. I sealed it with DP90 first, then shot 3 coats of CP440 2K primer on it. Probably block it with 220 one more time and apply 3 more coats of CP440 and block with 400-600 paper. It looks good enough now probably to sand with 400 and paint, buut once more won't hurt it.

Looking good! Now that you've got some momentum going I hope you can keep it up!

I've been busy on this ol pile. Got the deck lid fitting and the car in final prime i think. The gas tank top could use one more block and prime. Got my gauges mounted and cut the bottom of the tank and mounted the wire harness inside. Made a removable top and got my color picked out. Burgandy with ivory firewall.

This is turning out great! I like the color choice too

Got my frame painted up. Also added a sort of K member style to my crossmember.

Dang i'm slow!

Buick fins on 40 hubs with 56 F250 brakes.
