Well we went to get the deck lid today and this is what happened, besides getting the lid. I kid you not the ice is completely wrapped around the tires and it is 4 inches thick on the sides.when we stopped to fuel it came off the doors. I was amazed. But I think it was worth it.

she sure is making some major strides. the Q/P's and roof are in the first block so the rows are getting shorter.

Jeff, im loving all the work im putting in my 69 but buddy i do dream of the days you are in now with yours, i do hope once there it will look as good as what you are doing, when i say enjoy it, i truly mean it because once your done and on the road, you will remember all this work and whats best is when you can say "I built it" i think its as much fun as the cruising down the highway.. ENJOY!!!

I don't build them to sit. the cars I build are intended to be driven, and driven regularly. it is harder on them to sit. so I say run er.

I have a good idea no one will argue the point, If we leave them sit, we may as well build models to look at, easier to keep clean and less room... That primer sure looks good, imagine what the paint is going to look like!
