Haven’t had much progress over the summer but I have found some time to work on the old girl. Main beam and rear sill is in. Trim fitting the quarters from real steel.

Thanks. PayPal?

Shipping to 37769?

Gas tank condition? 50 seems like a steal.

ive ordered from real steel. Todd is a great dude and always answers the phone. I recommend that you get some etching primer on them pretty quick or they will flash rust.

Hey guys. Long time no post. I told ya my baby boy would slow things down some. The 40 has sit in the garage with out much change. Just trying to find time to sneak off and piddle is a challenge. However I am beckoning the long days that spring will bring in a few weeks and getting fired back...

Hey guys it's been a while since I've been on. Had a baby the end of march and been doin the dad thing. Any way, made a pretty good Craigslist score. 5 oem steel wheels, 5 oem hubcaps NOS, 2 NOS bumperettes, 2 bucket seats in superb condition with sliders. A shifter boot and a 4 speed tranny...
