So pleased with everything, never new I had it in me to do such a nice paint job, it's all in the body work :D My buddy Max stripped it for me too. Nice to know people, still cost me but real cheap.:D

Mr.Blue,
Did you ever have a problem with a steering arm from speedway for a corvair?
I bought one from them for my corvair box.
Nice work on the headlights and block. Great shade of blue.
Getting alittle more done. Polishing a cast cover was a pain. I had to even grind out alittle for it to fit :D

Nice cover. I know what you mean about polishing aluminum. I polished a tunnel ram once (and only once!).
Pro53,
Love everything about your A and excellent work on everything you have done. I wish I was even close to prepping my 34 for paint.:(:HMMM::LOL:
Jack.
Thanks, its always nice to have postive comments on your project. Be glad when it finished though, so will my wife :DQuote:
