My brother-in-law came over and we started blocking the car tonight.  Tomorrow we put the body back on and work on the spacing.

When the time comes (and it looks like you're getting close) will you be applying your own paint too?

Yeeesh...what's yer hurry, Ben? Take your time, do it right...


Just kiddin...it's coming along quite nicely. You certainly have WAAAAAY more patience than I do...I would have sold the car years ago. Then again, I have a habit of starting major projects and loosing interest. My hats off to you, and anyone else that can take on a project like this, and actually make progress!!
Nice job!Thumbs Up Clap Thumbs Up Clap

Just a question, I see that you are painting parts as you go. Are you using spray cans and if so what brand seems to work best and have the closest match?
