Those valve covers look phenomenal with the Thunderbird on them.

Hope it stays warm for you.  We've been in a deep freeze in the northeast.

It cooled right down below 0 a couple days after I sprayed and stayed there,  just today getting back to normal with some above normal temps again next week.

My friend that did the instrument cluster milled those coil covers and powder coated everything for me. First time I saw them I told him I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make the rest of the car worthy of them.

Just a progress photo, quarters, rockers, and jambs painted and buffed.  Working on some window trim and interior stuff. Things have slowed a little but still digging.

I'm so glad  it's getting somewhere. I don't come on the board that much anymore, but when I do I always check to see if you've updated anything.

Looks awesome man!

Thanks!

No real progress since the last update. I am no longer in the auto collision business. I grew very tired of dealing with insurance companies on a daily basis and 4 years ago the opportunity to rent my dads and an uncles farm came up.  It’s that time of year to get my 20 to 40 year old equipment ready to go so the bird will have to wait some more. Hopefully I can keep at it here and there and get it on the road this summer sometime.
