His dog did eat his homework....

I know. That is why I said something. Every other day it was some major catastrophe.

I swear he is one his fourth entry.

Think maybe the radiation got to him?

well if you've ever looked into my build topic you'll see that i'm a pretty scrambled builder.... one project after another... put it aside for a little while then i'll re-work the tailgate area, rear lights, and rear bumper to be more correct.... i'll be back on it soon

Haven't bailed on the build.

I moved recently and couldn't find which box my razor saws were in.

I have 5 or so of them, every time I buy another one to replace the missing ones, they appear.

So being the tight wad I am, I wasn't going to spring for another new one.

I finally ran across ONE of them in a project I had started many years ago.

The others are still AWOL!

reminds me of the other day i was at my buddy's place digging thru his kits.... he had so many custom wheels and parts stashed all over that he thought was long lost is wasn't funny and supplies!!!!! tell me about it... i think i found 3 razor saws, 6 exactos and a multitude of other things..... he was so shocked he let me keep digging thru and allowed me to snag a few custom parts too

no real progress pictures just cause they would look to ugly (a roof with some red mud and grey primer all over the place). just got a little worried the thread fell back a page, thats all just hoping its still going strong

[sdrodder]

back to top with updates from me. Got started on the dash. Stock one shave with 40 ford dash added thanks for the dash fanofratfink. Wheel covers are 58 impala, and the door panels have tuck and roll inserts. Well whatcha think. Any updates from the others?

[kustom]

i'm trying to focus on that 57 stepside i'm workin on in my topic for a buildoff on layitlow forums.... after that i'll get back to it

[84vanagon]

I'm working on my F100, I had grand plans of a chopped top, but I didn't listen of the old adage "measure twice cut once"!

What looked good on paper turned into a 'too much" chopped top.

Fortunately I had an extra cab so my custom won't be chopped.

The "too much" chopped top body will be saved for a future project.

[sdrodder]
