Glad you were able to stop by today.  You seem like you have what it takes to get a project like yours done (and done right!).  I look forward to seeing your car once you get it back on the road and we'll have to go for a cruise!  Stay in touch for sure..... (let me know if you have facebook).   :bananasmi
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

When I get her on the road you bet, we'll definately have to cruise a bit. Too cold right now but am looking forward to spring time wrench cranking.

Just bought the j5 paint and reducer today to do the underside and interior paneling, still need to get a new filter for the water trap on my compressor and pick up some clear coat spent 300 bucks on the 2 quarts PPG paint and reducer and decided not to get the clear since it was another 300 bucks and I have to run it by the wifey!! need to weld the torque boxes in before I can paint anyway.

Talk to me before you buy the Clear.  ARC is working on getting set up with PPG so we can offer big discounts.

Jedi Master dissassembled the dash today and is meticulously restoring it, he is so meticulous he dissassembled the Solid state radio to fix the face light. Ordered the brand new GRAN COUPE WOODGRAIN inlay for the guages from Classic industries. Will post pics when he is done. :swaying:
