sweeter is the fact that this body has perfectly smooth and shiny rear wheels wells, :shock: and 1/4s. As is the boot floor, engine bay, and rockers. Interior floor will require 1 minor repair.
Panel Fitting, superficial bodywork, drill some holes for posties, and shave the engine bay. All udercoating has been removed as well. May only have 196.3 hours into this one. :D
David beat me to the black with green sparkley. Now I must rethink the entire scheme :cry: ,,,,,,,,,,alex?
Black and chrome sure is seductive,,,,,,
Black for sure. Especially with how much time you have in the body work. Make it shine! 8)

After working 10s fours weeks strait to fill Teds pockets, and cleaning gutters today, the need to play with some bling was in order.
JT68s trim fasteners are little jewels.
Sports Imports trim restoration is top notch as well.

Do not worry, PLENTY of time to read the thread and ponder.
Pebbles has already missed his 5 year time line and 2015 deadline.
I predict many more years before it is done :roll: :roll: :roll:
He is leaving it to me in his will. :smt008 I may have to finish it! :smt009

Every time I go to see Pebbles he is in bed watching GUNSMOKE reruns on TV! :lol: :lol: :lol:
OR
There is a local weather related burn ban so he can not start his wood stove in his garage
so it is too cold to work there so he as to go inside and watch more GUNSMOKE reruns. :smt005 :smt005 :smt005
On my next visit I will check the level of the dust layer on that box of wiring.

Maybe another drive of my turbo roadster will recharge him.
