quarter windows looking pretty darn great! still need to get the door tops in place but getting there. Picking up the 67 hood sat. Still need some early front and rear fenders so if ya have some or know somebody that does send them my way. Also looking for a clean good IRS pan with title so I don't have to seperate my other car.

Hey Eric, your car inspired someone close to me! My 14 year old daughter signed up after we come back from the Classic for a two year autobody course here at the local high school. We are going to talk to them about me providing the school a buggy kit and tube chassis to build on and paint up for their school project and once done, they can sell it and all funds go back into the class room. She is really intrested in specializing in custom paint work, espeically after seeing your wood work! Just thought you would get a kick out of that. Funny thing is she is 100% frilly girl and wears dresses 99% of the time,so this should be intresting. She does not have any problem getting dirty and she is a heck of a driven little girl so we will see. The instructor told her, you may or may not be the best painter in the class but you will be the prettiest and smell the best! The instructor is a retired old timer body shop owner that hated the insurance part of the biz so when he had the chance he folded up shop and became an instructor and he teaches the typical body and paint course and stays every day till about 10 PM for the kids that want to work on thier own cars and do custom work and he stays and teaches them on his own time. Really great teacher and his kids think he is the greatest guy in the world. I thought ya might get a kick out of it.
