Everything looks nice Jim. You make me look like I'm stuck in quicksand!
You did such a nice job on your chassis I will have you be an instructor at the NW Chapter Chassis judging school the end of the month.

Thanks Stewart. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to make it to Dean's shop this month but thanks for the offer.

Another update. In the last 2 weeks I've cut & buffed the hardtop, all the removable panels and the front half of the body. I also assembled the hardtop with all new weatherstripping and freshly polished stainless trim. I still have to cut & buff the back half of the car and do some assembly before putting the body back on the frame. It won't take long to do but I need to get it done before I take a week off for my annual trip to the SEMA show.

Not yet. I'm too busy ACTUALLY working on the car but I can understand the jealousy of those that don't have the skills to do their own work and have to be on the computer all day living vicariously through those that do.
