    We're getting the main parts of the box done, and, with the rear fenders mounted up, get a chance to see how the dusty rose and silver are going to work together. I'm really liking the combination so far...

    The oak floorboards with a hint of pink in the stain really stand out. Think this will be a pretty build. Not real impressed with "pop rivets" on the new reman fenders that attach the inner fender brace. The rear fenders were a couple of the few body parts that I had to scrap from the original and go with new. The hollow core rivets just seem to look out of place, so I think I'm going to drill them out and replace them with polished s/s button head 1/4" cap screws. Will still be obvious on the outside of the fender, but hopefully not as bad.

    Tits!

    That'll look almost as good as my red, white, and yellow combination... :rolleyes:

    Looks GREAT! Can't wait to see how the rest of it comes out! Thanks for the pictures.

    Naw, Nate, probably not a "show-er"...we build 'em for cruisin' the backroads of Montana and putting some miles behind us. That's where the fun is, as far as I'm concerned. Gotta get some road rash and gravel chips to add the character. 'Bout the same way I look at a good wife...
