Your welcome Zig! I am trying to get as much done as I can during the winter months. While it may have taken me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to fab that...
Sometimes it's hard to make a decision... But I have finally selected a paint color. She has been "Penny" all along, but which penny? After much...
The Mid-March update: Rear fenders stripped of factory primer (which was nearly a sixteenth of an inch thick in places), and a few blemishes...
I am at a similar crossroads with color. My advice? YOU decide which shade of red YOU like best. You will have to live with the color, it might...
Your camera battery was dead? C'mon Zig. You're a teacher. Tell me that doesn't sound a LOT like "my dog ate my homework".
Nate, We are progressing nicely thru the Bambi burger, be it in tacos, meatloaf, amped-up burgers (my favorite), or whatever you'd use plain old...
Zig, Since your memory seems to slipping of late, here is a friendly reminder: For the newbies here, and for others who have been here for quite...

Ouch. Rub it in. Best I can hope for is a win in the: "who gets their chosen color ON a body part first" competition. You know, when our trucks...
Eeeeeeeeeeeeasy Zig! We aren't painting the old girl (yet). We'll paint "coupons" with the different paint colors to decide which color wins....
Thanks Zig! It's funny how seeing progress others make can spur us on. I recall seeing Steve's (50 Chevy LS3) avatar change to his rolling...

Steve, No "door skin" here, my Dad FABRICATED what you see. Half-round drains and all. He is a craftsman, in the truest sense of the word. He...
Steve, Don't get all worried I am going to be finished by tomorrow! There is still a TON of work to do here at my end. FWIW, a complete bed, soup...
Steve, The RH door pictured above is an original door. My Dad replaced the bottom of the door a few years back as a gift to me. The last few...
