    Well today the frame went to the powdercoaters. It has spent the last 3 days getting the sandblast treatment. Pretty giddy. Getting closer and closer.

    As for the bosy, it had alot more rust than we though it was gonna have. Especially in the back of it. But it has been widdled away at, and it is like 1 wheel well away from being finished.

    Here's some pix

    Very nice - it is fun to see the stages as it progresses. Nice work all around. Target date for the street????

    Looking forward to seeing it on the road. Sure could use an Airstream behind it :drink:

    You are so right, good man! I will be resuming my Airstream search in the spring. Until then, I want to get this car done, and mobile. May take longer than I hoped though. I have seemed to have lost some parts over the last 10 years. Hopefully they can be recovered.

    Yah, Joel, the metal guy, he's insane. Everytime I ask him about something, he's like, "Well, you want it done right, right?" And I say yes, and we move on.....
