Final step
« on: September 26 2024, 09:59:31 PM »
Well after a couple years of work it's time for the paint job! I'm very excited. Local shop working with me. I will try to post progress pics. The plan is to surprise my son on his 16th birthday in Feb with a finished car. He has worked with me a ton on this and can't wait to see his reaction. Told him I'm putting it in storage for winter like last year.

Wow !  I know one young man that is going to have the best birthday of his life! No topping this one.

You all have done a lot of work together and that won't be beat either. Congratulation s to both of you!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Father of the year material!   My last paint job failed, so yeah, if you post progress pics, I'll be paying attention.
