    Glad you decided to go all out and do the whole car, you will be glad you did!  You learned the hard way, in Nebraska you never get between a woman and a red light or a good park at Walmart!   :bigsmile:  Look forward to seeing your T/A at a show next year Pete.

    Looks like you are replacing a lot of the panels I am going to replace on my car as well.  Good job and keep up the good work

    Amazing amount of work.

    Just goes to show how much hidden rust and damage can lie underneath a good looking car.

    Lesson to learn:  do not buy a restored car w/o restoration pictures.
