    Man its gonna be so sick slammed with the smoothies!! IMO it needs a 500 caddy under the hood. I sometimes wish my 49 wasnt in such good shape, i would rock that style in a heartbeat.

    I hope to finish the body and hang the drivers side door. Then off with the bed and begin to drop it rat rod style!

    Ya i just started wet sanding it and the patina was priceless so had to leave it. Only throwing the clear to keep the patina from aging too fast. I know ill end of CLR and Red Scotch bright pad it more later to bring out the patina more. I plan to find some "Papa" mirror for it and hope they are patina as well or ill just give them the brush stainless look. Ive got some of the Plymouth done in flat white too and hoping to get the hood welded together by a friend soon...
