I decided to go to the nats so I started going through all the small parts for this car, and making a list of stuff I need.
I am at a stand still till I get my shed built. I sold the 18X10 shed I had at the end of my drive way and ordered the wood for the 18X24
I have a 2 car garage attached to my house I dont think my wife would appreciate me painting a car in the garage so....

I started to buff out the windshield moldings

nice job.good luck on getting your new bldg up

guy I sold the shed to is picking it up on Thurs I'm leaving for nats on Fri morning,
Monday when I get back I'll order the wood my 19 year old will be back from his vac with X so I will have him to help
I figure it will take 2 days start to finish to get the shed done
than I will move the car into it and get to work

looking forward to the nats this weekend
last week I sent my dash to to have it Blasted got it back today and I just finished applying 2 coats of epoxy primmer
it had a bit of rust on it from sitting in my shed for 5 years
if I feel ambitious tomorrow I will blow some primer filler on it tomorrow
not sure if I want to base coat /clear coat it or use lacquer
my paint supply has both

nice project dude, you asked about the dollies under the "V" code runner they are home made, will take some closeups for ya! bout the only shopping you`ll need to do is buy the caster wheels. is that a sat or runner?

after searching Carlisle and the nats for the correct radiator for my rag top I gave in and pulled the trigger

I figure even witha re core still cheaper than 1200.00!

Frank, the car is looking good! Thank's for sending me the link to this site...now get back to fixing that car!
