Pessimist! You're looking at that pic the wrong way. It's on it's way to be fixed correctly! ;)

Glad you got something from him. He at least stood up and tried to make it right. So many would have said sue me...

You might think that this is my very own circus midget but that is Furball… he had to stand on a ladder to help me put the oil pan back on… and he can walk right under low branches in the woods!!!

I spent almost a morning reading your "journey", congratulations for your rig,nice color!

In the end everything will worth the effort and your 40 will bring you a lot of joy and happiness!

"The best 40 is not the one you buy! Is the one you build!!.."

Congrats.
 
So did you ever get pading on the driver's seat? Ha ha ha! Great Build thread. I wasn't going to paint the body at first but you have inspired me. My build is going to be significantly simpler than your though. Just gutting a '76 doner and switching it all into a AZ-only 74. The one I learned to drive in at age 6 or so! Yes good things happen! Thanks for all your work on this thread. Gonna finish reading it now.
 
Wow never would have figured Poser to be a Top Gun fan. he he he! Love his shop though!

Thank you so much for doing this thread! Your experience will be invaluable as I paint my '74 before the scavenging begins! OK if I pick your brain once in a while or are you needing a break for a little while?
