  Sounds like you are having a great time, it makes a difference when you know what you are doing and as you have helped many you have had practice.   :working:
  I guess Neil has to keep moving to keep warm now that the weather has turned.   :2thumbs:

In all the times I have seen your photo in your posts, I never realized that it would have a gold butt stripe. Man, that is Gorgeous! Can't wait to see more progress pics. Heck, I'm excited and it's not even my car.  :lol:  :2thumbs:

Keep up the great work! Joe

 DAy 4 ..... Well I did not get much done today , But we got the car wet sanded & polished , started to get the tailights mounted but missing some Hdw... found some park brake cross bars & installed them , installed the trunk seal , hood letters & trunk chrome ... still looking for the fasteners for the SE tailpanel that never was on the car so I have to find the correct part without knowing what held it on . Resealed all the seams with seam sealer , installed 1 one the 1/4 windows the other will go in shortly ,all the side lights went back in , just picking away at trim items now !!

When you were first talking about this color combo, I wasn't sure. Seeing not done, it is definately  :wow: and way better than I expected.

Great work. I hope you can get it back together in time to have at least a maiden voyage this year. 

Keep the  :picture: coming!
