A "Side Project" that I have been working on..............
Saw similar on E-Bay, but had to find someone that would let me design my own. ( used Inkscape a great Free program )
I think they came out Great !
And the Best Part, is the Wifey Paid, as an early Anniversary Present.
Have a Great Day,
Bill

Thats pretty cool!!!!
Hey on your Barris T bucket, Does it have some really wide tires on the front like the customs he did years ago. If so, how well does it steer? I always loved his customs!!
Loved Red Foxxs' Lil Red Wrecker, The Original Batmobile and the Munsters cars...cool stuff

And a Thank You to Phil Zell
Phil Zell had these Moon Roofs in the For Sale Forum. He Even went as far as meeting me partway to pick them up.
And the LOOK Great !
Just a couple of quick adjustments to set them in place. I'll fine-tune when the car is back on all fours.
So, why did I mess around with the Old Ones ?
Have a Great Day,
Bill

frame
Starting to prepare frame rails for a coat of POR.........
Actually, the Rust doesn't seem to bad for an Indiana car.
I'll probably stop at this point, as I understand that POR-15 likes some rust.
I'll wipe with Prep, and move on..................

Finishing Up the suspension upgrades...........

If Not, let me know Quick.
Thanks, and Have a Great Day,

Alignment
Seems like I received the alignment from Hell. 
THREE HOURS,,,,,seemed a little excessive to me.
Just guessing I was Paying for "on the job training"
The results...............
I'm pretty sure, that I will address the Rear Myself............
Anyone see any Major problems ?

Sitting around waiting on a new steering box...........
Before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thought that I might as well do something. Out comes the 400,800, and 1500 Grit.
Then Polish TIME.
I think I'll still paint the inside of the fins Orange................

On to step three of the "New" valve covers. A little Paint.
Then step Four, Remove some of that Paint.
I'll Finish that project Soon, as for Now, back to the steering box.
All the parts made it, and the rag joint even has the flat in the correct spot.
