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
My buddy Max stripped it for me too. Nice to know people, still cost me but real cheap.

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. 1930 model a , 1953 ford truck

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.

You mean you didn't have the better half out in the garage wet sanding the car with you??? Heck wifes just don't know how lucky they have it with rodders. We stay home to work on our projects instead of been out with the fella's drinking,watching sport,gambling and doing other stuff that I can't mention on here,so they should be thankful....
The car is looking excellent BTW.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
