But I'm watching ............   Waiting on tires and wheels for the green/white 57.  Sent wheels to be powder coated, be interesting to see how they came out.

Wheels are done & look amazing.

Very nice!

Those look great. I'm curious if anybody here has had experience with clear coating shiny stuff OVER TIME. I'm wondering how it holds up, since obviously they can't do the usual(?) sandblasting.

Good morning Everyone, today being Memorial Day thinking of friends from the past that I served with some who have passed others still with us. A picture of my Father and me getting ready to visit the VFW to celebrate him turning 100 years old, he passed recently almost making 103. Enjoy the Day..

Almost 103 is something to be proud of! wow! Thank you both for your service.

X 2 Rich!

I will be leaving for Tulsa, OK tomorrow, a 400ish drive each way. I have an appointment with Gateway Classic cars on Wednesday morning. Their fees sound reasonable, but we can't talk numbers until they physically see the car. If the numbers are good, I'll leave it there and get a rental to drive home.

Sorry to see that sweet ride go away. 

Think I removed my first rear glass on the 57.  I think cement was softer than the rubber seal, just cut it out I was told.  Yep a piece at a time chipped out after I figured out how to get the chrome trim off. Now to clean the body channel and clean the glass before the reinstall.  I've done mechanics years but the body stuff never, I'm learning with YouTube university. How about a pined "how to do xx in body repair" glass pannel repairs etc.

Thanks for the head's-up on the spam, Hugh. I deleted the post, but I can't get back into my messages

Sure. I saw it was gone. Thank you.

Best of luck Rich, have a safe trip.

I DJ'ed with these guys last year, and they are a steaming hot band!
