    Well this is probably it till spring, no heater in the garage :pullinghair:







    I took 22 pictures and am still in awe of how good it turned out. I don't really know what to say, just happy with her.

    WOW! Is that ever nice dude!  :faint:   :clapping:

    I'll mail you a pair of mittens....GET WORKING ON IT!!   :lol:  :poopoke:
      Look into a small garage heater? I have one that hooks to my BBQ propane tank when it's really cold. Didn't use it last winter though.  Lots of things can be "sub-assembled" in the basement then installed ? ( dash , etc...)
    Or on the kitchen table! :icon16:   I can hear your wife loading up the gun now! :roflsmiley:

    That turned out fantastic! Hold your head high!  :2thumbs:

    Ya know I never asked, maybe I should!  I have just seen so many beautiful cars, and honest recommendations from a former riddler award winner  I was just able to put my trust in the owner Eric. After dealing with so many differing "characters" it's good to be able to just cut a check and relax. The owner of lafata auto in Roseville Eric is a quiet guy, way more action than talk. So between him and Dave at Roseville moparts I guess I kinda lucked out for my location.

    The Body and Paint look good !!    As long as you mocked up everything correctly , you shouldnt have anything to worry about.  Nice Job!!!!    :wow:   :wow:
