Got the same key chain. My uncle used to have a real tag that was on the back of his '30 Coupe.

That can has a lot..... Where is it going as far as design direction? Hood looks HUGE on there vs on the 'vert.

Glad to see your making progress.

An ex I assume? Women sometimes just seem to not take care of our prized posessions. My wife has neglected her car and its a lost cause, I told her my Cougar was going to get a manual so she couldn't touch it (Can't drive one) :D.

Don't worry Bear, My wife hates that I'm rebuilding my 87. I think only because it was here before we met, and there were many others that sat in the car before her.
But she loves the vert because it's ours together.

You're spraying (primer maybe) without covering the windows? You are a brave man.

Nice to see something really old school!  I'd love to get my hands on something like that and throw a blown fathead in it.  I'd leave the body as is.  Patina FTW!

BTW, who took the pic? My compliments to them -- a very nice composition!
