Don,

You're passing me up! I sent my trailer out to get the front repaired after a lady spun out into it. Now there's no room to work in my garage because I emptied everything out of the trailer.

Yours looks really nice. You do nice work.

Been there, and in fact am still there. I've resanded most of the parts on my T three times or so now. Now I plan on just focusing on the mechanical stuff to get it running first.

What is nice about this type of hobby is, if you're bored doing something...work on something else. (or mow the lawn).

Don,
Very nice work!
You signed on as a "Newbi"....looking at what you have done you could teach some of us Oldbi's a thing or two. Keep up the fine work...you should be proud.

Thank you all for the kind words...that is what makes it worth while. The paint is Omni Jet Black which was not my first choice but seems to be workable and was under $200.oo for a gallon or so. I have never painted a car before and don't have much in the way of equipment to do single stage one shot. Many, many surface flaws but it wet-sands and buffs out surprisingly well.
Thank goodness for that! The neatest thing will be seeing the 85yr old gal look reborn again...toooo cool !!!
