If you & your Dad get bored you can over to San Antonio & help finish my 79. I have cold beer & a pool.
Enjoy the car. Nothing like working with your dad on a common project.

I found out that my friends dad was a car painter and he agreed to do it for about half the normal price which was really nice of him.

It's amazing what a little time, money, skills, and patience will do (ok, maybe alot of money
). Great job!!! You'll enjoy it all the more now.
