just a suggestion Dave, but you might want to post some pix of what the car looked like when you started this thread along with the now finished pix.

this thread is 102 pages long on my settings, and new folks might ooh and ahh over the finished product (who wouldn't?)

but the contrast of what you started with and what you ended up with are definitely eye openers.

did you log your hours? I'd be curious to know how many man hours you put into this project.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
