John your scratch-building ability is amazing.Congrats on getting pictures of a few of your builds in the recent issue of Rebel Rods aswell.

I should have updates soon on progress I'm going to start hinging the delivery tonight.Had a little bit of a set back.The rocker panels under the doors snapped off while I was sanding the door openings.I had to reinforce the rockers.So hopefully I should have hinged up pic tonight or tomorrow.

Thanx for the comps and suggestions fellas.I'm going to go suicide with the doors.Color wise I'm not sure on the candy red.I did a 53 hardtop candy red with a black roof not to long ago so I might go the candy route but not red as of yet.
