a long slow process

well things are happening in my shop but at a snails pace it seems. i'm working a lot but don't have a lot of progress to show. i have the chevy partially primered and found a good stock hood to replace the badly warped one that had the big scoop. it really looks different but i think i like the sleeper look better. the floors in the ford coupe were just about completely gone so i have been forming and welding a lot there. when i bought the coupe you couldn't read the odometer cause the letters were peeled off so out of curiosity i took the speedometer out to see if i could figure it out and to my great surprise i could read the other numbers. this car has just over 15,000 original miles. wow what a terrible waste that it sat out in a field for 35 years and the whole bottom 3rd of the car is rusted away. i am in the process of curing that problem though. as always---until next time
