Awesome ....Love the color! That is going to be so clean! Lot of hard work there but will be all worth it when its done.

Whats you plans for the car? Are you going to show it or drive it? Both?

thanks for comments,
it will be driven (on sunny days). Still a lot of work ahead but finally going in the right direction after a long time of taking it apart.

I also have a new appreciation for you guys that do autobody and painting for a living.
Hats off to you!
