Im liking that morning wood camo lol. Were going with the line right above the door handles for maximum pin striping protection!
 
This is some ballin' camo right here...

Just ordered the Monstaliner..

Got something to look forward to in a few weeks... I'll call my glass guy to come over this week and pull all the glass and order in a new windshield and Precision gasket. I have some light rust under a few areas of weatherstripping. Then get with KR @ WagonGear for the rubber lock strip for the rear and cargo window.

Pete, yes it is a cool pattern. I was on a walk with my wife when I saw it on a couple on snow machines. Had to stop, back up and look a little more... Wife didn't care for it... of course...

Thanks Danny,

NO GULLS

My mind is not 100% made up on the poppers.. I thought it was cool and fun on my '56. Thanks for the link. I'll look into them.

This afternoon I didn't feel like fabricating much.. I started on the PS rust repair on Goss.

Got the quarter, inside/outside dogleg and rocker cut out and patched in. I had .045" wire in the machine so a few spot welds to keep evrything in place until this weekend. I'll changeout wire and finish the PS up and get started on the DS and interior pans.

Cheers,

J

Very nice derustification. I have a little spot right above my tailpipe that i want to take cut out and repair like that!
And the basket looks awesome, very well done!

I like how that basket is looking. Are you going to offer the option of quarter panel protection for your rear bumpers?

Yes, after I get done with mine, I plan on doing the next one with 1/4 armor.

Better than me, mind you i have not done much with it YET, but…….

Start with the "cheaper" tubing.. It gets expensive quick... thankfully by the 5th bend I had it pretty well figured out.. :slap:

I threw the JD Squared "directions/how to measure" away, too confusing..
