Tom - when do you find time to do all this stuff???

My sons asleep by 8pm... couple hours a night goes a long way.. I have been to the body shop were my car is 4 Saturdays now.. about 30 hours. The other shop is behind my work...pretty easy to go there

Chevy did straight to metal black paint on the convertible top frames..I think I may have found the trick.. Its still a little soft after 10 hours but I'm baking it in the sun now to see. I painted a bare metal rim to test scratch and this is tough enough stuff.. Can't break through to the metal scraping with a metal washer in your hand.. I'll report back in time

The color works for me..Its actually shinier than the pic illistrates

The product

Burning the candle at both ends these days Got the convertible top frame to look amazing... restored the rims and mounted them all up..Repro tires so I can do burn outs etc

Before... I sanded them so well the old me would have had them chromed

Done and hangin out waiting for the tub to be white

She got a lot smaller last night. I'll show you all later but my buddie Bobs 1/4 panel repair job is stupid good. A real gift for fitting sheet metal he has

This is this months project.. Sucked to get out as the cowl attaching bolts were loose in their cages.. had to sawzall them out...Don't get too excited about this part.. Its only getting a fluff & buff.. I am going to drive this car! Me and my buddie Larry Weaver....... roadies

Ya gunna bring her to the vintage GP at Watkins glen this next fall????????????? I think I can make it work!

Bring all youre rag tops,2 IPC's and that sweet blue one in the other posts!!!!

Then we will go to the Italian boat show!!!!!!!!!!!!! (inside joke)

Looks great so far Tom.....Can't wait to see it when it's completed....How much do you think the total restoration will cost?....I would love to have one of the first generation cars.
But if I did, I think that I would have to
sell all of my others to afford one...

I'll be an honest guy when it comes to the money and will report back.. So far though all I have done is pile receipts up to the sky.. I don't know for certain.. I'm a trader and have a good supply of parts already so the truth may be a little hard to figure..
