Thanks. I was involved in this one more then I ever have been. So was my brother. Hes doing a lot around the shop now. He did 99% of the wiring and I buffed the thing. I'm 15 and he's 24.

I'm the detail Guy and I also get assigned bodywork which I don't mind.

Nice work...You both are more skilled than I am . Fiberglass !!!!! hate it . Tried to fix some things that had it before , just made it worse ! Replacement was my only option .

Very nice. Just the way I like them. Performs like a new car but still looks old.

I can't stand it either. It took me a quite a bit of practice on dozens random parts before I could even dare to touch the 6 figure car with a piece of sandpaper.

My wife wants a old mustang to restore. I'm gonna make her turn the wrenches.

We built a 67 fastback Eleanor with a supercharged coyote motor in it last year.
