SHOP UPDATE: Getting some stuff done on the 32 roadster



 I had to cut the crap out of the new rear fender to get the gap right. Looking good now
 I got the rear frame covers installed with some major trimming and the spreader bar fits pretty good.
 I had to narrow the front spreader to get it to fit in the frame. Now I will have to re-locate the holes so it centers up in the splash apron. So much for new parts going together without tons of work.
I did get the battery mounted without any issues !!!! woo hoo

SHOP UPDATE: Jim's pickup is down to the wire


 Susi just finished wet sanding the fenders. I was up at 5:00 am finishing some body work and getting them primed before fishing today.
 Here they are just before paint. Been a long time coming on these fenders.



There they are finally finished. I will body schutz the under side tomorrow and install them Friday along with the hood and get it ready for Saturday's show in Whitehall. Hope it all works out.

SHOP UPDATE: Gettin really close on Jim's 35 Ford


 Susi and I finished installing the front fenders and running boards the other day.
 Yesterday I painted the headlight buckets and mounts. I installed and wired them tonight.
 Susi and I finished installing the 1/4 tint tempered glass the other night. I have a little trim to install and the interior is complete until Jim does the upholstery.
 Tonight I finished buffing the end cap for the bed and got it installed. Really happy with the way it all turned out.


Just a few shots of the sides after buffing, it really shows the changes in color in this paint. I can't wait to get in the sun for some photos.


Susi and I worked over the passenger rear fender today. I shot some prime, its ready for some small touch up and another guide coat and should be ready for paint.
