We're just getting back after it today. The collision world is a whirlwind sometimes that messes up our restoration stuff!

Getting body lines correct is one of the most time consuming and important aspects of a restoration or repair. Unfortunately, in these older vehicles, even the best stamped parts often require modification due to steel stamp wear. As you can see in one photo, the "top of the line" hood had to be modified as well to match lines. It's just part of the process that bores most critics but, it's the first thing they notice if it's not dealt with.

She's actually cool with it . Only request from her is that I have a automatic tranny put in . I have a MAJOR problem sticking to a budget when it comes to toys & hobbies . A hunting trip to Africa for 5 animals turned into 28 , a factory rifle gets so much custom parts to it I could have just built a custom rifle for 1/2 the price lol . I'm just scared it will turn into "it's only ANOTHER 5,000.00 to do ...." X 15 different things Hahahah .
