    Don, your sons has to make you proud with the quality of work each has done and doing. They had to have a great teacher in their father. To be able to see the car then create it without any written plans is pure talent.

    Thanks Brad. Yes, I really am proud of both of them......for lots of reasons. They've both turned out to be very good people, and my best friends.

    Bobby: You just jogged my memory on what he had to do to get both reveals. You are right, the skin only comes from the top beltline down. I remember seeing him cut the top reveal out of the rear portion of the body, and graft it onto the new skin to make it as tall as it needed to be. He cut it out of the part of the body right before it makes the final curve at the back. He commented at the time that he lucked out because that section was exactly big enough to supply that part of the skin.

    For some reason, the skin suppliers just do them from the reveal down.
